The group RIIZE (RIIZE, affiliated with SME) once again made a name for themselves on an overseas festival stage.
RIIZE, the first K-pop idol to do so, performed at the Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) held at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, on the 4th (local time), delivering high-quality live vocals and performances while holding handheld microphones for about an hour, captivating many audience members.
On the day, the members opened with the intense opening of "Bag Bad Back" and "Siren," and presented a total of 13 songs, including the band-version arranged "Get A Guitar," "Boom Boom Bass," and "Combo," as well as "Fly Up," which evokes a youthful musical, the slightly more sentimental "Love 119," the refreshing "Impossible," and the hip charm of "Talk Saxy."
In addition to music with a variety of moods and a dance break newly prepared for ACL, RIIZE communicated warmly with the audience from the opening greeting, saying, "There are many world-class artists here, and we are happy to be here with them," earning a good response, and they naturally encouraged sing-alongs during the "Show Me Love" performance, raising the energy of the venue.
Before the final stage, the members said, "We were truly happy to be able to share RIIZE's music with you. Thanks to everyone enjoying it with us until the end, we received great energy and were able to finish the performance well. It feels like a memory we will never forget," earning applause.
RIIZE, beloved for their skills and charm as a K-pop "one top" artist at various overseas festivals, early on confirmed an appearance at Lollapalooza South America in 2026 and will take the stage in Argentina on March 14, in Chile on March 15, and in Brazil on March 21.
