Boy band Omega X will kick off its "Keep Goin" world tour in the United States and Mexico this week, its agency IPQ Entertainment said Wednesday.

The 11-member band will perform in eight cities in two countries, starting with a concert in New Jersey on Friday, followed by stops in Chicago on Sunday, Atlanta on Nov. 29, Fort Worth on Dec. 1, San Juan on Dec. 3, Mexico City on Dec. 6, San Jose on Dec. 8 and finish in Los Angeles on Dec. 10.

"As this is a tour held for the first time in a year, Omega X is getting ready to give For X a stage filled with diverse events," the agency said in a press release.

Omega X recently dropped its third EP "iykyk (if you know, you know)" on Nov. 7 and announced that it will embark on a world tour during the showcase held on the same day.

The band sold 80,000 copies of the album within the first week of release, a meaningful growth for the band, according to IPQ Entertainment.
