Last summer, "ELEVEN", which lit up Grant Park in Chicago, echoed once again a year later at Berlin's Olympiastadion.



Girl group IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made history for K-pop girl groups, shaking the world with their global presence. On July 12 (local time), IVE took the main stage as a headliner at the world-renowned music festival Lollapalooza Berlin, held at Olympiastadion & Olympiapark Berlin. IVE is the first K-pop girl group to ever perform on this stage.



Having made a powerful impression at Lollapalooza Chicago last year with a massive-scale performance, IVE once again proved their status as a “global festival powerhouse” at Lollapalooza Berlin. Their live performance, fused with a full band sound, and eye-catching, powerful choreography captivated tens of thousands of fans, drawing massive sing-alongs and cheers. All six members commanded both the stage and audience with their energy and presence, solidifying their name in the global festival scene.



At Lollapalooza Berlin, IVE performed a total of 14 songs over the course of about an hour. From their debut track “ELEVEN” to songs from their full-length and mini albums, along with English-language tracks, their carefully curated setlist reflected a broad consideration for global audiences and received explosive reactions from the crowd.



They kicked off the performance with powerful renditions of “REBEL HEART” and “I AM”, and strategically followed with hits like “LOVE DIVE”, “HEYA”, and “Baddie” to maintain the show’s momentum. English-language songs such as “Supernova Love” and “All Night” helped bridge emotional connections with local fans, prompting spontaneous sing-alongs and engagement.



Their stage setup and performance were a perfect blend of detail and dynamics. Every member delivered stable live vocals, enhancing the performance’s overall reliability. Working in sync with the live band, they amplified the density and impact of the sound. Flexible use of microphone stands and positional changes depending on the mood of each track elevated the stage composition. Their emotive expressions and well-paced transitions between songs gave the performance vibrant energy and flow, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
