The group will embark on a tour titled THE WILDWORLD TOUR, beginning on September 1 at Dublin's 3Arena, and will continue to venues in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe. In anticipation of the tour, the concert film KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS is currently screening in over 1,700 cinemas across more than 60 countries, providing fans with never-before-seen footage and intimate interviews with the singers.
