aespa are officially entering a new era.
The group has announced their second studio album, LEMONADE, set for release on May 29, 2026, alongside a massive 2026–27 world tour, marking their most ambitious project to date.
“LEMONADE” Signals a New Direction
With LEMONADE, aespa appear to be shifting their concept.
Following darker, futuristic releases like MY WORLD and Armageddon, the new album title suggests a brighter, more confident, and mature aesthetic. While details such as the tracklist and lead single remain under wraps, anticipation is already building.
Release date: May 29, 2026
Format: Full studio album (physical editions confirmed)
Pre-orders: Already available
SYNK World Tour 2026–27
Alongside the album, aespa will embark on their next global tour, continuing their “SYNK” series.
The tour will span 25 cities across multiple continents, running from August 2026 to February 2027.
Tour kickoff: August 7–8, 2026 (Seoul)
Final stop: February 2, 2027 (Paris)
The official tour title remains partially hidden, teasing fans with the familiar SYNK branding and a yet-to-be-revealed subtitle.
