K-pop sensation IVE is breaking records once again — this time with a third consecutive invitation to perform at the world-renowned music festival, Lollapalooza. On July 20th, 2025, the group will take the MAIN EAST stage at Lollapalooza Paris, held at Longchamp Racecourse, performing a powerful one-hour solo set for thousands of international fans.
This historic moment marks IVE as the first K-pop girl group to be invited three times to Lollapalooza festivals around the world — a monumental feat that reflects their rising global influence.
🔥 From Chicago to Berlin to Paris — IVE’s Global Reign Continues
IVE’s journey through Lollapalooza began in 2024 with their debut at the Chicago edition. Just last week, on July 12, they dominated the main stage at Lollapalooza Berlin, delivering a 55-minute live set with rich band arrangements, powerful vocals, and synchronized choreography.
What made the Berlin performance even more iconic was the audience — thousands joined in Korean fan chants, a moment that local media described as “Spice Girls of Korea.” The group’s charisma and stage command impressed both fans and critics, leaving a lasting imprint on the global stage.
🎤 Lollapalooza Paris 2025 — The Energy Builds
In Paris, expectations are higher than ever. With the momentum from Berlin, IVE is set to light up the festival once again with a fresh, vibrant performance. Starship Entertainment shared a message from the group:
“Lollapalooza always brings excitement and special memories. Riding on the energy from Berlin, we’ll give it our all in Paris. We can’t wait to share our music and spirit with global DIVE and the amazing audience once again.”
Fans across Europe are already buzzing with excitement on social media, gearing up to welcome the girls with open arms.
📈 Record-Breaking Festival Milestone
IVE’s triple appearance — Chicago (2024), Berlin (2025), and Paris (2025) — officially sets a new standard in K-pop festival history. They are the only K-pop girl group to achieve three Lollapalooza invites across multiple continents, proving their worldwide demand and stage dominance.
With back-to-back high-profile performances, IVE continues to push the boundaries of what K-pop girl groups can achieve on the global festival circuit.
⚽ Up Next: K-League Meets K-pop
Beyond the festival stage, IVE is also making moves in sports entertainment. The group is scheduled to appear at the 2025 Coupang Play Series on July 30 at Suwon World Cup Stadium, where they’ll perform during the halftime show of the K League vs. Newcastle United match and take part in the ceremonial kick-off.
This crossover between K-pop and international football is expected to attract a massive domestic and global audience, further cementing IVE’s place as a versatile cultural icon.
🧠 Why This Matters
IVE isn’t just performing — they’re setting a global precedent for K-pop representation on world stages. Their consistency at Lollapalooza showcases the genre’s global power and proves that K-pop girl groups are not just trending — they’re here to stay.
