Before you plan your route
Some Chicago events happen at the same time, especially on August 26 and August 29.
The Los Angeles events are spread across several cities. Gardena, Anaheim, West Covina, Universal City and Inglewood are not all close to central Los Angeles, so check the journey before adding more than one event to the same day.
Some listings may also add tier sales, RSVP deadlines or new details closer to the date. Open the individual event page before travelling and follow the organizer’s linked account for last-minute updates.
You can also save events to your KpopTracker favourites to keep your plans together.
