After Bangkok, the tour will continue to other Asian cities: Oct. 11 and 12 in Macao, China; Oct. 18 in Jakarta, Indonesia; Oct. 25 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Nov. 2 in Manila, Philippines; and Nov. 6 in Tokyo, Japan.

Wang will collaborate with iMe Entertainment Group on the project, which marks his second solo headlining tour. Additional cities will be announced later.

The tour follows the release of Wang's latest album "Magic Man 2," which debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 in July, the highest-charting debut by a Chinese artist in the chart's history. The album makes Wang the first Chinese artist with two consecutive Billboard 200 Top 15 albums, following his 2022 album "Magic Man," which reached No. 15.

The album is structured in four chapters and explores themes of chaos, illusion, self-reflection and healing.

"'Magic Man 2' — like I've said many times — isn't just a concept. It's not based on an idea or inspiration. It's 100% real. It's my story," Wang said, describing the album as reflecting his personal growth. "I felt the need to share this with you — because I believe we all have a 'Magic Man' inside of us. That hidden side we don't fully understand, but can't stop thinking about. The part of us we fear... but also want to face."

He previewed the world tour, saying: "This isn't just a concert. This is an experience. I want to bring you into my world. Right into the heart of the story — no filters, no masks. Like a movie playing out in front of your eyes. We dive in together. This is 'Magic Man 2.' Welcome to the journey."

"The 'Magic Man 2' tour is a continuous journey and a lifetime adventure that we are proud to present with Jackson Wang," said Brian Chow, CEO and founder of iMe Entertainment Group. "This tour will further expand his global presence and ambition to deliver an unforgettable live experience for audiences everywhere."
