• Ailee, San E and Jay Park Touring Together Across United States with One Surprising European Stop

    A trio of K-Pop stars—Ailee, San E and Jay Park—will take part in a "world" tour featuring five North American dates during March.

Generally one act plots a few dates across the United States and can do well enough.
