Novel Core announces BLACK TiE TOUR 2026

Novel Core used X on September 8 to promote BLACK TiE TOUR 2026 and invite members of his official fan club to a meet-and-greet tied to the tour. The post came after the tour had already been announced on his official website on June 26 as a live-house run spanning five cities and eight shows. (x.com) Official tour materials and the September 8 social post both directed fans to ticketing and fan-club channels for access details. (novelcore.jp) ### When was the tour itself first announced? Novel Core’s official website posted BLACK TiE TOUR 2026 on June 26, listing an itinerary that begins on October 15 in Tokyo and ends on November 22 in Tokyo. (novelcore.jp) The site describes the run as a five-city, eight-show live-house tour. The June 26 posting shows two Tokyo dates at Shibuya WWW X on October 15 and October 16, followed by Hiroshima on October 18, Nagano on October 23, Gifu on October 24, Osaka on November 4, and two age-segmented performances at Shibuya clubasia on November 22.

Novel Core’s September 8 X post promoted BLACK TiE TOUR 2026 and told fan club members about a meet-and-greet. The preliminary card briefing says the thread also carried promotional graphics and pre-sale instructions and tagged official fan accounts.
