Boy band Ateez will kick off its world tour "The Fellowship: Beginning of the End" at Wintrust Arena in Chicago on Tuesday.

From Chicago, the band plans to visit Atlanta on Jan. 20, Newark on Jan. 24, Dallas on Jan. 27 and Los Angeles on Jan. 30.

Following sell-outs of the group’s concerts in the United States, Ateez’s agency KQ Entertainment expanded the duration of the tour by one day and added one more concert in Los Angeles on Jan. 31.

Ahead of going abroad for the tour, Ateez performed three concerts in Seoul from Jan. 9

“The Fellowship: Beginning of the End” is Ateez’s third world tour since its debut in 2018.

During its first tour “ATEEZ - The Expedition Tour,” which took place just four months after its debut, the group toured around five cities in North America and 10 cities in Europe.

In 2020, the band held its second tour titled “ATEEZ World Tour The Fellowship: Map The Treasure.” The group was scheduled to perform in Japan, the United States and Europe. But due to the Covid-19 pandemic, part of its tour was canceled.

Ateez’s latest album is “Zero: Fever Epilogue” which dropped in December last year. It came in at No. 42 on the Billboard 200 chart.
