After much speculation, NCT (엔시티) has confirmed that they’re making their full-group return later this year to celebrate their 10th anniversary. The group announced the NCT 2026 project earlier today, dropping a link to the official website.
Despite recent departures and line-up changes, group activities are in full gear, with all sub-units participating. The website also unveiled the slogan for the project, which is “Everything, All At Once, Neo.” There are tons of exciting activities planned for the entire group, so here’s a rundown of what they are:
Unit Comeback & New Release
As usual, an anniversary event will surely include new music and albums. According to the website, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV and NCT Wish will all release new albums later this year. There are also plans for NCT Wish to release a Japanese album in the third quarter of 2026.
Pop-up
The anniversary project also features plans for a pop-up happening in Seoul. Titled “Neo Ground”, the pop-up will take place from 15th (Friday) to 23rd (Saturday) May 2026. SM Entertainment will share more details later, but it’s unclear whether the pop-up will be available in other cities or countries.
Exhibition
Also happening later this year is the 10th anniversary exhibition, “Neo Dimension”. So far, the website has only revealed that the event will take place in the third quarter of 2026. The exhibition will take place in Seoul, but like the pop-up, it’s unclear whether it will tour other countries.
Concerts & Fanmeetings
Most excitingly, the anniversary project also teased that NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV and NCT Wish will hold concerts and fanmeetings later this year. Besides NCT Wish’s concert and fanmeeting, the live performances will kick off in the third quarter. While not included in the list, NCT JNJM (Jeno & Jaemin) will also hold a tour later this year, from June to August.
The group also teased that more activities are planned for the rest of the year and 2027, confirming that the 10th anniversary celebration will continue well into next year. However, it’s unclear whether there are plans for another NCT U or NCT Nation release.
