Streaming sensation IShowSpeed is set to embark on a major international tour across Southeast Asia, following the viral success of his European travels. Announced during a broadcast on July 30, Speed expressed his excitement about exploring new territories, with planned visits to countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore in September. “I’m very excited, we’ve probably got around 30 more days until I’m over there,” he said, indicating that his Southeast Asia tour is just around the corner.
Speed’s announcement of his Southeast Asia tour comes on the heels of his recent European adventure, which garnered significant attention across social media platforms. During his European tour earlier in 2024, Speed visited countries like Norway, the Netherlands, and Albania, creating a stir with numerous viral moments that captivated his global fanbase. His content generated over 2.5 billion views across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube, with his streams consistently attracting between 50,000 to 80,000 concurrent viewers.
Despite the overwhelming popularity, Speed’s travels have not been without their challenges. In Oslo, Norway, he was attacked by a viewer while being escorted to his car, highlighting the security risks associated with such large fan gatherings. These incidents underscore the need for careful planning and security measures as Speed continues his global tours.
Interestingly, IShowSpeed, who rose to fame on YouTube and other platforms, has not been as active on Twitch, another major streaming platform. Despite Twitch’s prominence in the streaming world, Speed’s content and brand have flourished primarily on other platforms, where his unique style and adventurous spirit have found a massive audience.
Looking ahead, Speed’s Southeast Asia tour is poised to be another exciting chapter in his streaming career. Fans in the region are eagerly anticipating his arrival, and his broadcasts from these new locales are expected to draw significant viewer engagement. Additionally, Speed hinted at future travels to the Middle East, with potential visits to countries like Lebanon, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Algeria, further expanding his global reach.
As IShowSpeed prepares for his Southeast Asia tour, his journey reflects both the opportunities and challenges that come with global fame. His ability to connect with fans across diverse regions while navigating the risks of such widespread popularity continues to define his remarkable rise in the streaming world.
