KATSEYE Manon is the central question around the group’s newly announced touring plans, after reports said Manon Bannerman does not appear to be included in promotional materials for ‘KATSEYE: THE WILDWORLD TOUR.’ The tour announcement follows her previously reported temporary break from group activities for health reasons, while official ticket information for North America, the UK and Europe has moved ahead.
The official Weverse notice announced ‘KATSEYE: THE WILDWORLD TOUR’ in North America, the UK and Europe and gave ticket timing, but it did not provide a member-by-member participation statement. The notice said, “We are pleased to announce the upcoming ‘KATSEYE: THE WILDWORLD TOUR’ IN NORTH AMERICA, UK & EUROPE!” and listed membership pre-sale and general sale details for fans seeking tickets.1
Manon’s World Tour Absence: What Has Been Reported

The clearest tour-specific reporting comes from coverage published on May 13, 2026. The FADER reported that KATSEYE announced the headlining ‘WILDWORLD TOUR’ in support of the group’s new EP ‘WILD,’ and that, based on promotional materials, Manon Bannerman does not appear to be part of the tour lineup. The same report placed the tour window from September 1, 2026, in Dublin through November 27, 2026, in Mexico City.2
LOS40 also reported on May 13, 2026, that KATSEYE had officially announced ‘The Wildworld Tour,’ covering dates in Europe and the Americas, and identified Manon’s non-participation as a notable absence followed by fans. Its report added that the group’s side had not offered extensive additional detail about that absence.3
The official ticket notice, however, is narrower. It confirms the tour and ticket schedule but does not separately explain Manon’s status for individual dates. That distinction matters because the absence has been reported through tour coverage and promotional-material interpretation, while the ticket notice itself focuses on sales access and does not provide a dedicated lineup update.1
Hiatus Timeline And Ticket Facts
Manon’s current status connects back to the February 2026 announcement of her break from group activities. Korea JoongAng Daily reported on February 21, 2026, that HYBE and Geffen cited a Weverse notice saying, “Manon will be taking a temporary hiatus from group activities,” and that the group would continue scheduled activities during her absence.4
Further reporting before the tour announcement showed the hiatus continuing into the spring. Marie Claire reported that Manon was not joining KATSEYE’s Coachella performances on April 10 and April 17, 2026, and said HYBE x Geffen confirmed before Coachella that “Manon remains on hiatus.” The same report said she was also absent from the ‘Pinky Up’ music video and audio release.5
Press Association coverage published via Westmeath Independent on May 13, 2026, framed the tour announcement as coming after the Swiss member had announced a temporary hiatus to prioritize health and wellbeing. That report described the 2026 schedule as a fall arena tour across Europe and North America.6
| Item | Confirmed or reported detail |
|---|---|
| Tour name | ‘KATSEYE: THE WILDWORLD TOUR’1 |
| Ticket membership pre-sale | May 20, 2026, local time1 |
| General ticket sale | May 21, 2026, at 3 p.m. local time1 |
| Reported opening date | September 1, 2026, in Dublin2 |
| Reported final date | November 27, 2026, in Mexico City2 |
| Manon status before tour announcement | Temporary hiatus from group activities, first reported in February 20264 |
The available facts therefore point to two parallel developments: KATSEYE’s tour rollout is proceeding with ticket information now public, and Manon’s break from activities remains the relevant background to questions about whether she will appear on tour.
What The Official Notice Does And Does Not Say
The Weverse notice is the main official source for ticketing. It confirms that membership pre-sale begins on May 20, 2026, and general ticket sales begin on May 21, 2026, at 3 p.m. local time. It does not, based on the provided notice summary, list a separate explanation for each member’s participation status.1
That leaves Manon’s tour absence supported by entertainment reports rather than by a standalone tour-lineup statement quoted in the official ticket notice. For readers tracking whether KATSEYE Manon will appear at specific dates, the most accurate reading is that reports published on May 13, 2026, say she does not appear to be included in the tour materials, while the prior official health-related hiatus remains the stated background.
