stayc main image

Under the blazing Chicago sun, HYBE’s rising stars KATSEYE and BOYNEXTDOOR didn’t just perform at Lollapalooza—they owned it. From viral on-stage chemistry to career-defining sets, the two groups proved why they’re the talk of the global music scene.

The Defining Moments That Shook Lollapalooza

KATSEYE, the multinational girl group formed through HYBE and Geffen Records’ Pop Star Academy, didn’t just arrive at Lollapalooza they rewrote festival records. The six-member act (Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae) delivered a powerhouse early-afternoon set that drew an estimated 85,000 attendees, marking the largest crowd ever for a daytime slot at the iconic Chicago festival.

A Set That Redefined Expectations

From the moment they took the stage between 2-4 PM, KATSEYE proved why they’re K-pop’s most explosive new act:

"Gabriela": A fiery Latin reinterpretation of Dolly Parton’s "Jolene", blending flamenco-inspired choreography with Spanish lyrics. The performance featured a tango-style dance break that ignited social media.

 "M.I.A.": A sharp pivot into dark electro-pop, showcasing the group’s genre-fluid versatility. Fans noted the track’s haunting production and intricate formations.

Fan Favorites: Crowd singalongs to "Touch," "Debut," and "Gnarly" proved their discography already has staying power.

Why This Performance Mattered

  • Record-Breaking Crowd: Surpassed previous daytime attendance records at Lollapalooza.
  • Global Appeal: Eyekons (their fandom) turned out in force, with fans chanting lyrics in Korean, English, and Spanish.
  • Artistic Boldness: Few rookie groups attempt flamenco fusions or moody electronic switches KATSEYE did both flawlessly.

"We wanted to show every side of us playful, fierce, emotional," Sophia shared post-show. "This is just the beginning."

What’s Next for KATSEYE?

With their Beautiful Chaos era in full swing, the group hints at:

  • More international festivals
  • New music before 2026
  • Potential Netflix documentary follow-up

Final Takeaway:
KATSEYE didn’t just perform they set a new standard for how K-pop acts can dominate global festivals.
