KiiiKiii, a group preparing for a comeback, solidified its global footing by successfully concluding a major U.S. music festival stage.
KiiiKiii attended and performed passionately at Head in the Clouds LA 2026 (HITC LA 2026), held on the 8th in Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California (local time). After Tokyo in March and this LA stage, they were consecutively invited, and their solid live performance and choreography thrilled local audiences.
In a pre-interview, KiiiKiii showcased fluent foreign language skills and personally introduced their new release WhyKiiiKiii, then grabbed attention with a variety of stages during the main performance. After opening spectacularly with DANCING ALONE and Delulu, they consecutively performed BTG, UNDERDOGS, Dizzy and others, proving a broad musical spectrum. Their stage manners, which continued active communication with the audience by making eye contact, also stood out.
In particular, they premiered the stage for a track from the new album to be released on the 10th, Candy Pink Magic Hole Flip Phone (나 어떡해), bringing the crowd's response to a peak. They then enriched the stage with GROUNDWORK and 딸기게임 (Strawberry Cheesegame), and when debut track I DO ME and hit song 404 (New Era) played, an enormous singalong erupted. They perfectly concluded the festival stage with a packed 30-minute setlist.
After the successful performance, KiiiKiii left an emotional comment through their agency. They said, "We are so honored and proud to have been able to appear on the HITC stage twice from Tokyo to LA. Especially since it was the first time presenting a track from the new album WhyKiiiKiii, we were very nervous, but Tiki (the official fan club name) and many audience members responded passionately and enjoyed it with us, so we were really able to perform excitedly."
They added, "We want to continue showing KiiiKiii's music and cheerful energy on various stages. As we are returning soon with WhyKiiiKiii, please show a lot of interest and love for the new songs."
Meanwhile, having warmed up on the global stage, KiiiKiii will, on the 10th (local time), attend the game between the Texas Rangers and the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium at the official invitation of Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Angels, where member Kiya is scheduled to throw the ceremonial first pitch. On the same day they will release mini album WhyKiiiKiii and begin full-scale activities with the title track Pop Off Pop Off.
