The group RIIZE (RIIZE, belonging to SM Entertainment) became the first K-pop boy group to appear at the global music festival "Lollapalooza South America." They completed a stage befitting South America's unique passion and received a strong response.
RIIZE, based on improved stage capabilities after their first world tour, appeared at all performances in the three countries that make up Lollapalooza South America, on March 14 (local time) at Hipódromo de San Isidro in San Isidro, Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the 15th at Parque O'Higgins in Santiago, Chile, and on the 21st at Interlagos Racetrack in São Paulo, Brazil, delivering an unprecedented performance.
In particular, the members performed 14 songs for about an hour with unwavering handheld microphone live vocals and choreography to band accompaniment, including Get A Guitar, Talk Saxy, Siren, Impossible, Boom Boom Bass, Combo, Fly Up and Fame, and prepared audience-tailored remarks in English, Spanish and Portuguese for each show to actively encourage responses and heat up the atmosphere.
As a result, many media outlets covered news about RIIZE and requested interviews, including Argentina's largest daily Clarín, leading digital outlet Filo.news, radio Urbana Play, Chile's state broadcaster TVN, leading daily La Tercera, radio Los40, Brazil's largest media group Grupo Globo's terrestrial channel TV Globo, cable channel Multishow, and Quem Magazine.
In addition, Huston Powell, the overall director of Lollapalooza and an influential figure in the music festival industry, paid attention to RIIZE's performance on site and met and spoke with the members directly. Before RIIZE's Lollapalooza Brazil stage, they also held a sideshow at TERRA SP that presented hit-song stages and communicated closely with fans by taking song requests on the spot and singing them, earning an explosive reaction as audiences sang along to all the Korean lyrics and followed the choreography.
RIIZE will also appear at Japan's music festival "The Performance" on April 10-11, "LOVESOME FESTIVAL" on the 12th, and Thailand's "K2O Songkran Music Festival" on the 14th, and plans to continue showing the prowess of the "festival powerhouse" representing the K-pop scene.
