Starship Entertainment announced on the 4th that IVE performed at 'Lollapalooza Chicago,' held at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. Opening their stage with "I AM," IVE sang 11 songs over approximately 45 minutes, including "BADDY," "ELEVEN," and "LOVE DIVE."

'Lollapalooza' is a large-scale music festival that began in Chicago, USA, in 1991, encompassing popular music genres such as pop and rock. IVE, the only K-pop girl group invited to this year's 'Lollapalooza Chicago,' delivered a concert-like performance that drew a passionate response.

On this day, IVE presented new sides by arranging the stages of "ROYAL" and "ASCENDIO" in rock versions, and "OFF THE RECORD" in a summer festival remix version. After delivering powerful performances with "HAAA" and "AFTER LIKE," IVE concluded their Lollapalooza debut with their first English single, "ALL NIGHT."

The setlist, covering the team's discography from their debut album to new songs, received enthusiastic reactions on-site. Performing all songs live with band accompaniment, IVE also showcased diverse performances, engaging with the audience.

Through their agency, Ahn Yujin expressed, "Thanks to the cheers from many DIVE (fandom name) members and the audience on-site, we were able to perform safely. It was a very valuable experience. We will repay you with great performances at the upcoming encore concerts."

IVE will hold their world tour encore concert, "SHOW WHAT I HAVE," at the KSPO Dome in Olympic Park, Seoul, on the 10th and 11th. Following that, they will perform at the music festival "Summer Sonic 2024" in Osaka on the 17th and Tokyo on the 18th of this month.
