On August 3, 2025, Katseye took the stage at Lollapalooza for the first time, drawing a massive crowd of 85,000. This marked the largest audience ever recorded for a daytime performance slot at the festival.
Members Sophia, Lara, Yoonchae, Daniela, Megan, and Manon opened with fan favorites like "Gameboy," "Debut," and "Tonight I Might." The performance of "Debut" featured a new breakdance segment that caught the crowd’s attention during their first set.
The group returned after a brief chat with the audience to perform "My Way," "Mean Girls," and "Gabriela." This part of the set included a high-energy Latin-inspired dance break and featured backup dancers for the first time in their live show.
For the third set, they performed "Touch" and "M.I.A." The performance of "M.I.A." stood out for its bold choreography and stage presence, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the festival. Their set ended with "Gnarly," a signature track that had the entire crowd singing along. With the exception of "Gnarly," every song from their debut album 'Beautiful Chaos' was performed live for the first time during this event.
The energy from the crowd was nonstop. Fans were loud, proud, and clearly invested in every moment.
From their early days on the survival show 'Dream Academy' to their rise through Netflix’s 'Popstar Academy: Katseye,' the group has come a long way. Their Lollapalooza debut was a full-circle moment that highlighted just how much they’ve grown. For fans who have followed them from the beginning, it was a reminder of how far they’ve come and how much more is ahead.
