Hip-hop trio Epik High will release its new album, "Pump," on June 20.

"Pump" is set to be Epik High's first music release in about seven months since its single, "Screen Time," was released in November last year. Epik High released a pre-announcement video on social media on Tuesday, along with a mostly obscured tracklist.

The band also revealed plans on Wednesday to begin its North American tour on Aug. 22. Epik High revealed the schedule for "Epik High The Pump Tour N. America 2024" on social media the same day.


The trio will start their tour, "Epik High The Pump Tour N. America 2024," with a concert in Vancouver, Canada on Aug. 22. It will travel through 23 North American cities until Sept. 25, including Seattle, LA, Dallas, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, Atlanta and Tampa, Florida.

This is the trio’s first tour in about a year and four months since its 2023 European & North American Tour, "All Time High," which concluded in April last year.

Epik High held an encore concert for the trio's 20th anniversary at Inspire Arena in Incheon on March 16. The group performed in the "2024 Daegu Hip-Hop Festival" on May 5 and announced its participation in the "Tone & Music Festival 2024" on June 16, which will be held at Olympic Park in Songpa District, southern Seoul.
