IVE Captivates Berlin with Historic Lollapalooza Performance

IVE has taken Berlin by storm this summer.

On July 12 (local time), IVE performed at the massive music festival 'Lollapalooza Berlin' held at Olympiastadion & Olympiapark Berlin in Germany. Taking the Telekom main stage, IVE delivered a dynamic 55-minute live band performance that set the venue ablaze.

'Lollapalooza' is a major music festival that began in Chicago in 1991 and has since expanded to various regions, including the US, France, Chile, and Brazil, encompassing popular music genres like pop and rock. This year's 'Lollapalooza Berlin' featured IVE alongside BTS member J-Hope as a headliner.



IVE's appearance at 'Lollapalooza Berlin' marks the first time a K-pop girl group has performed at the event. Last year, they made a stunning festival debut at 'Lollapalooza Chicago,' delivering a performance of such high caliber that it was hard to believe it was their first appearance. This year, following 'Lollapalooza Berlin,' they are set to perform at 'Lollapalooza Paris' on July 20.

On this day, IVE performed a variety of hit songs, including 'I AM,' 'LOVE DIVE,' 'ATTITUDE,' 'Kitsch,' 'ELEVEN,' and 'HEYA,' maintaining boundless energy and engaging the audience with their dynamic stage presence.

During performances of 'After LIKE' and 'Rebel Heart,' the crowd's enthusiastic sing-along left fans watching the live broadcast back home in Korea amazed.



Notably, members who had previously been critiqued for their live performance skills showed significant improvement, alongside the strong vocal performances from An Yujin and Liz, showcasing the group's growth.

This improvement seems to be the result of their first world tour in 2023, which spanned 28 cities across 19 countries. Initially criticized for unstable live performances and lip-syncing controversies during year-end shows, IVE has effectively dispelled these concerns with their latest stage.

Many who witnessed IVE's performance shared reactions such as, "The sing-along gave me chills. It's incredible to hear such a response in Germany, not Korea," "It's amazing they performed so many songs live," "They seem born for the stage," "Running non-stop for an hour is impressive," and "IVE always exceeds expectations with their performances."
