Tens of thousands of festivalgoers singing in Korean at one of Germany’s most iconic landmarks — this rare and powerful moment unfolded at Lollapalooza Berlin, held at Olympiastadion and Olympiapark Berlin, as IVE took the stage with their hit song “After LIKE” on July 12 (local time). As the first K-pop girl group to ever perform at the Berlin edition of the festival, IVE delivered a stunning 55-minute live set, complete with a full band, solidifying their status as a premier global festival act.
The electrifying performance began with “REBEL HEART” on the Telekom main stage, as roaring cheers greeted the group. IVE quickly followed with a high-energy performance of “I AM,” then escalated the energy with “Baddie,” which went viral thanks to member JANG WONYOUNG’s deep-toned rap. The group also debuted its festival performance of “TKO,” featuring impactful choreography co-crafted by member GAEUL — a standout moment in the show.
Showcasing their musical versatility, the group delivered crowd favorites “LOVE DIVE” and “You Wanna Cry.” The former radiated IVE’s signature confidence and vibrancy, while the latter revealed a more emotional and vocal-driven side of the group. A cinematic moment followed with the music video teaser for “ATTITUDE,” leading into a passionate live performance of the song, highlighted by LIZ’s powerful high notes and the now-viral “Guinea Pig” choreography that sent the audience into a frenzy.
“Kitsch” embodied IVE’s assertive, playful spirit, while their English single “Supernova Love” deepened engagement with the global crowd. As the set reached its climax, IVE powered through a medley of hits — “Accendio,” “ELEVEN,” “HEYA,” “All Night,” and “After LIKE” — delivering a seamless, high-intensity finale. The emotional highlight came when the crowd sang along in Korean to “After LIKE,” bringing the performance to a heartfelt close.
“We were truly happy and overwhelmed by the enthusiastic cheers and singalongs from DIVE (our official fanclub) and the audience, who stayed with us until the very end despite the rain that began before our set,” IVE shared through their agency, Starship Entertainment. “We sincerely thank not only those who attended in person but also the global DIVEs who supported us via livestream. We’re deeply grateful to the staff and band members who worked so hard to help us showcase our music at Lollapalooza once again. Let’s give it our all for Lollapalooza Paris next week!”
The Berlin performance marked approximately one year since IVE’s breakout stage at Lollapalooza Chicago. With their return, the group reaffirmed their growth and strength as a festival act — blending robust live vocals, tightly synchronized choreography, and dynamic stage presence. The show exemplified IVE’s ongoing musical evolution and commitment to messages of self-respect, confidence, and individuality. These core themes resonated throughout their set, deepening their connection with the audience.
Next up, IVE is scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza Paris on July 20 at the Longchamp Racecourse. With this appearance, they will make history as the first K-pop girl group to perform at Lollapalooza festivals three times, further cementing their global impact.
