It has been revealed that 2NE1‘s first world tour, “NEW EVOLUTION” would be participated in by a famous director.

On the 25th, YG Entertainment revealed, “For 2NE1’s first world tour, the choreographer for Michael Jackson’s ‘THIS IS IT’ concert, Travis Payne, and Beyonce’s tour band leader, Divinity Roxx, would be participating, ” he said.

On July 28 and 29, at the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium in Seoul, Korea, the workings of two of today’s talented and influential people, who have worked with some of the best musicians today like Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Janet Jackson, etc, would be revealed.

He choreographed Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson’s short film/music video, “Scream,” which was awarded the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography. He has also been responsible for the choreography of such respected artists like Usher, Beyonce, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and Jennifer Lopez.

The session band playing for the concert, would be joined by Divinity Roxx, the musical director and bassist of Beyonce’s world tour. The powerful stage presence of the band, which didn’t have a male musician, has even become a hot topic in Korea.

The two, who will be joined by other staff and directors, would be going on tour with 2NE1 for their world tour that will be held in ten different cities, in seven countries, and which will be kicked off by the concert at the Olympic Stadium on July 28 and 29. The “New Evolution” tour concert is already being greeted with a lot of expectations and excitement from international fans, as they get ready to meet 2NE1 not only in Asia, but also in the US and Europe.

On the other hand, 2NE1’s impending comeback is drawing a lot of attention.

On the afternoon of the 25th, YGE’s official blog (yg-life.com) uploaded 2NE1’s new logo for their comeback, with the phrase, “2NE1 COMING SOON,” anticipating that the girls would be making their comeback in the music scene in no time.
