Rapper Psy and several other K-pop artists managed by YG Entertainment will hold a joint concert in Shanghai in August, the agency announced on Wednesday.

Dubbed “YG Family 2014 Galaxy Tour: Power in Shanghai,” the joint concert will kick off on Aug. 30 in the Chinese city, the country’s second-largest entertainment firm by sales said in a statement.

The agency said Shanghai would be the base of its future overseas operations, engaging other Chinese cities and Southeast Asian countries. The agency did not disclose the exact dates and roadmaps for these plans.
