IVE Shines at Lollapalooza Paris, Making K-Pop History

The popular K-Pop girl group IVE (안유진, 가을, 레이, 장원영, 리즈, 이서) set the stage ablaze at the Lollapalooza Paris festival on July 20, 2025. Performing at the Hippodrome ParisLongchamp, they delivered an electrifying one-hour set on the MAIN EAST stage.

Following their appearance at Lollapalooza Chicago last year, IVE made history as the first K-Pop girl group to perform at Lollapalooza for two consecutive years across three cities, including Berlin and Paris.

Dressed in striking burgundy and black outfits, the members showcased a punk-inspired style that highlighted their individual personalities while maintaining a cohesive look. Their presence on stage radiated confidence, instantly captivating the audience.

The performance kicked off with their hit song 'REBEL HEART,' but faced a brief audio issue during 'I AM.' However, the group handled the situation with poise, finishing the set and later re-performing both songs to ensure a flawless experience for the fans.

Leader An Yujin (안유진) played a crucial role in maintaining the atmosphere, guiding the group through the performance. The audience responded enthusiastically, cheering as IVE continued with a medley of hits including 'Baddie,' 'LOVE DIVE,' 'ATTITUDE,' and 'Kitsch.' The live band added depth to their performance, enhancing the energy that resonated with the crowd.

Among the highlights were performances of 'TKO' and 'You Wanna Cry,' tracks from their third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which had the audience singing along in Korean, showcasing IVE's global appeal.

The group's festival performance continued with chart-topping songs like 'Accendio,' 'ELEVEN,' 'HEYA,' and 'After LIKE,' elevating the excitement. They also connected with local fans through their English tracks 'Supernova Love' and 'All Night,' with the latter encouraging sing-alongs to close the show on a high note.

Reflecting on their experience, IVE expressed gratitude to their fans, stating, "Every moment from preparing for Lollapalooza to performing and interacting with the audience was truly joyful. We sincerely thank our global DIVE (official fan club) and local fans for their warm welcome, as well as our supporters in Korea. We will continue to strive to show even better performances in the future."

Looking ahead, IVE is set to participate in the '2025 Coupang Play Series' on July 30, where they will perform at the Suwon World Cup Stadium during the match between Team K League and Newcastle United.
