Darren “IShowSpeed” is all set to kick off his highly-anticipated Asia IRL stream tour, spanning several Chinese cities, Mongolia, and Hong Kong. The YouTube sensation made the announcement during a livestream on March 19, just days ahead of his March 24 departure date.

“Yes sir, yes sir, chat China tour! China tour is in less than a week you all. I will be heading to China. I wanted to keep my mouth shut, I wanted to wait. But I wanted to tell you all, chat, I will be heading to China, Mongolia, Hong Kong. I will be streaming at all of them three locations, chat,” he told fans.

Despite YouTube’s restrictions in mainland China, IShowSpeed seemed confident that he’d find a way to bring his content to viewers. He emphasized the size of the country and revealed that he plans to travel to multiple cities to truly explore the culture and deliver immersive streams.

“I will be in China for maybe like a week or two. 'Cus chat, China is a big country. China is big country, chat, I will be doing multiple streams in China in different cities, okay? China is a very big country, so I have to do a lot of streams in them cities, I can't miss anything,” he added.

But chat, it's going to be lit!”

Known for his unpredictable and high-energy IRL content, IShowSpeed previously wowed fans with his Southeast Asia tour, including a record-breaking stream in Indonesia in 2024. This new journey promises a similarly wild ride across East Asia—with scenic cities, culture shock moments, and classic Speed chaos.
