On the 20th (Korea time), the 'Lollapalooza Berlin' side announced on its official SNS that Ives has been named in the lineup of the world-renowned music festival 'Lollapalooza Berlin' to be held in Olympiastadion & Olympiapark Berlin, Germany, on July 12-13.
According to the lineup announced on the day, world-class musicians such as Justin Timberlake, Gracie Abrams, and BTS (BTS) J-Hope will participate in the performance. Eve is expected to rise to K-pop's status with a high-quality performance on stage as one of the headliners.
Lollapalooza is a large-scale music festival that began in Chicago in 1991 and is held in many parts of the world, including the United States, France, Chile, and Brazil. In July, 'Lollapalooza Berlin' will be held at a large concert hall with about 74,000 people.
Earlier, in August last year, Ive was the only K-pop girl group invited to 'Lollapalooza Chicago' to stand shoulder to shoulder with famous overseas singers. Despite their first festival debut, they performed 11 songs perfectly for 45 minutes without feeling tired of performance and live performance to the all-band performance, as well as showed a variety of stages by attracting the audience's response, making them the "reliable and new K-pepper" (festival performance) powerhouse.
At that time, major foreign media, including American music magazines 'Rolling Stone', 'Chicago Sun-Times' and 'Billboard', also spotlighted Abe, praising him as a 'global festival powerhouse' every day.
Thanks to the enthusiastic interest, Ive announced early attendance at the 'Lollapalooza Paris' to be held on July 20th. At the time, Ive, the only K-pop girl group to announce the news of entering the second 'Lollapalooza', added the news of his participation in 'Lollapalooza Berlin' and announced the appearance of 'Lollapalooza' for the third time. Abe is the only K-pop girl group invited to the stage three times.
Recently, Ive proved its popularity both at home and abroad by completing its third mini-album 'VE EMPATHY'. 'Ive Empathy' was ranked on Billboard's 'World Album' chart, and the pre-released songs 'REBEL HEART' were listed on 'Global 200' and 'Global (excluding the United States)' for four consecutive weeks.
Another title song 'ATTITUDE' also performed well, making it into the top 10 of the Spotify 'Top Song Debut Global' chart. With the addition of new mega-hit songs that have rocked the world, more expectations are drawn to Ive's 'Lollapalooza' stage in Berlin and Paris in July.
Meanwhile, Ive successfully completed its third mini-album 'VE EMPATHY' released on the 3rd. After winning five consecutive million sellers and 12 music broadcasting awards through Shinbo, they recorded the domestic music charts 'Perfect All-Kill (PAK)' with the pre-released song 'REBEL HEART', sparking another 'IVE Syndrome'.
