XG to Release Pre-Album Single “GALA” on September 19 Ahead of 1st Full Album
Last weekend, XG made their first-ever appearance at a-nation 2025, one of Japan’s biggest summer festivals, electrifying fans with a commanding performance. In a surprise announcement, the group revealed their first full album will drop on 23 January 2026 — and now, they’ve unveiled the first taste: a pre-album digital single.
“GALA” will be released on 19 September, Friday.
A high-energy runway anthem, “GALA” fuses futuristic synths, hard-hitting rap, bilingual flows, and driving house beats into a cinematic, performance-driven showcase called “X GALA”. Boldly breaking fashion conventions, the track defines XG’s self-created genre, X-POP — a world where music, power, and glamour collide in one unforgettable moment.
The cover art further captures the song’s dazzling visual universe, building anticipation for its arrival.

XG 1st Full Album – Out 23 January 2026
XG’s first full-length album isn’t just a debut — it’s a declaration. Stripping away trends and surface-level gloss, the record dives straight into the heart of music, identity, and existence.
Effortlessly crossing genres, the album takes listeners on a journey across shifting times and spaces, all anchored by XG’s unmistakable energy and bold spirit. At its core is their unshakable identity — a sound that refuses to be boxed in.
This is the official birth of X-POP, XG’s self-defined genre. Built on the belief that good music stands on its own, the album captures the most honest reflection of XG yet — while setting the stage for limitless possibilities to come.
Fans can experience XG up close at the XG 1st WORLD TOUR “The first HOWL” EXHIBITION at Laforet Museum Harajuku in Tokyo (1-7 Sept), featuring curated live photos, stage outfits, immersive video content, and exclusive merchandise.
In October, XG takes their energy abroad with the CHINA FESTIVAL TOUR, performing at MDSK Music Festival (Beijing, 2 Oct), Strawberry Music Festival (Guangzhou, 4 Oct), and Luzhou Galaxy Left Bank Music Festival (Luzhou, 7 Oct).
With “GALA” as the first glimpse of their X-POP universe and a full album that pushes every boundary, XG is proving that their music isn’t just heard — it’s felt, lived, and experienced. Are you ready to step into their world?
