EXO to release first live concert album

Just in time to ring in the holiday season, K-pop group EXO will release the group’s first live concert album on Monday, SM Entertainment said Wednesday.

The live album will feature EXO’s previous concert series at the Seoul Olympic Park’s Gymnastic Stadium from May 23-25. The upcoming release will include a total of 36 tracks, including the group’s monster hits “Growl,” “Overdose,” “Wolf” and “History.”

Along with a digital album, EXO will also be releasing the 2-disc physical album in stores across the country.

Apart from the group’s new live album, EXO fans can look forward to hearing a new holiday tune with the release of EXO’s upcoming Christmas single “December, 2014,” which will be released Friday through the mobile game “SuperStar SMTOWN.”

The new single will mark the act’s second holiday release after EXO’s first Christmas album, “Miracles in December,” dominated the top of charts upon its release last December.
