THE RAIN Brings the Storm Back to North America With 2025 Still Raining: Encore Tour

The legend is back. This fall, K-Pop icon THE RAIN is set to make his highly anticipated return to North America with the 2025 THE RAIN TOUR [Still Raining: Encore], a three-city run that promises to remind fans exactly why he remains one of the most influential figures in K-Pop history. Kicking off November 23 in New York, followed by November 26 in Los Angeles and November 29 in Atlanta, the tour will deliver the artist’s signature blend of powerhouse vocals, fluid choreography, and undeniable stage charisma.

For fans who have followed him since the beginning, this tour feels like a full-circle moment. THE RAIN first debuted in 2002 with his single “Bad Guy,” introducing a voice and style unlike anything Korea had seen before. Just two years later, his breakthrough album It’s Raining sold more than a million copies across Asia, cementing him as a global superstar. At the same time, his starring role in the hit drama Full House turned him into a household name far beyond the music stage. By 2006, he was performing sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and Las Vegas, with The New York Times hailing him as “the ambassador of Asia.” He wasn’t just an artist; he was one of the first to open the doors for K-pop on the international stage.

The Still Raining: Encore Tour follows his 2023 North American comeback, which marked his first U.S. concerts in sixteen years and sold out almost immediately. That short two-city run in Atlantic City and Las Vegas left fans hungry for more. At the time, THE RAIN shared with audiences, “Can you believe it’s been seven years since our last concert tour? I‘m beyond excited to finally meet you in person. There are so many things I want to show you.” The warmth and excitement he felt then now carries forward into this expanded U.S. tour.

Fans can expect a setlist that honors his career while embracing the present. At his recent Asia stops, THE RAIN balanced his timeless hits like “It’s Raining” and “Rainism” with bold surprises, including covers of contemporary artists such as NewJeans and Bruno Mars. This duality—being able to celebrate his legacy while effortlessly adapting to modern trends—is what makes his performances so unforgettable. His shows are not just concerts; they are living proof of how one artist can evolve with time while never losing the spark that made fans fall in love in the first place.

As one of the pioneers of the Hallyu Wave, THE RAIN’s story stretches far beyond music charts. After completing his military enlistment in 2012, he continued building his career across music, film, and television, starring in Hollywood’s Ninja Assassin and later collaborating with his longtime mentor Park Jinyoung on the viral 2020 single Switch To Me. His ability to reinvent himself across industries while maintaining his core artistry is part of why his fandom has remained so loyal for more than twenty years.

Now, with the 2025 Still Raining: Encore Tour, THE RAIN is inviting fans—both old and new—to experience the next chapter. Whether you’ve cheered for him since Full House days or discovered him through his viral collaborations, this is your chance to witness history in motion. It’s not just about nostalgia; it’s about celebrating the journey of an artist who helped put K-pop on the global stage and continues to evolve in ways that inspire fans around the world.

Tickets go on presale September 26 and public sale September 27. Don’t wait—this storm is bound to sell out fast.
