CORTIS marked a major touring milestone on August 6 with its first full solo concert in the United States, performing at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The show was part of the group’s 2026 Put Your Phone Down Tour, which began its North American run earlier that week.
During the New York performance, the group kept the focus on direct interaction with the crowd and the energy of the live show. That approach fit the tour’s Put Your Phone Down theme, encouraging fans to stay present rather than experience the entire concert through a screen.
The set included songs such as GO!, What You Want, TNT, REDRED, ACAI and YOUNGCREATORCREW, giving CORTIS room to showcase both choreography and a growing catalog of material.
One memorable moment came during GO!, when the members adjusted their choreography in real time. The relaxed response added a spontaneous element to a carefully staged performance.
For CORTIS, the New York date represented another step in expanding its live presence in North America, with additional U.S. stops scheduled throughout August.
