Singer IU revealed a new date for her 10th anniversary tour in a surprise announcement Monday morning.

Her agency Kakao M released a poster on Twitter in the early hours of Monday, revealing that the “Bbibbi” singer will hold a concert dubbed “Curtain Call” at the International Convention Center Jeju on Jeju Island.

The event will mark the first time the singer has held a solo concert on the island in her music career spanning 10 years.

As the name suggests, the new date will also mark the end of her Asia tour, which will see the singer traveling to Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan in December.

IU left a mark on South Korea’s music scene after managing to sell out the Olympic Gymnastics Arena, also known as KSPO Dome, for two dates in a row in November, becoming the first South Korean female solo artist to do so.

Presale tickets for fan club members are available from 8 p.m. Thursday, while general ticket sales begin Dec. 11.
