Tomorrow X Together Ignites Lollapalooza with Headliner Power After Billboard #1 Success
The boy band Tomorrow X Together (TXT) - comprising members Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai - turned up the heat during the night in Chicago with their performance at 'Lollapalooza'.
On August 6th (local time 5th) in Chicago, Illinois, Tomorrow X Together dazzled for approximately 90 minutes on the BUD LIGHT STAGE, closing the show. Their performance spanned from their debut album to their latest tracks, exemplifying what it means to be a main stage headliner at a massive music festival.
This marked the first time a K-pop group headlined this festival, and TXT delivered an unforgettable show to the audience. The concert was broadcast on YouTube and Weverse (outside the US) and Hulu (within the US). Approximately 120,000 viewers tuned in on YouTube, while around 75,000 watched on Weverse.
The venue, brimming with fans, resonated with chants of "TXT!" even before the performance started. As the countdown began, the atmosphere reached its climax. The group launched their set energetically with songs like '0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) feat. Seori' and 'Dear Sputnik'.
Across their concert, TXT performed a diverse set of 20 songs, all backed by a live band. From group songs to Yeonjun and HueningKai's 'Lonely Boy', to Soobin, Beomgyu, and Taehyun's 'Thursday's Child Has Far To Go', and collaborations like 'Happy Fools (feat. Coi Leray)' mashed up with 'Players', the night was unforgettable.
The audience, singing along in unison, amplified the experience. The self-composed track 'Blue Spring' was particularly standout, as thousands of fans lit up their phones, singing along to a song that hasn't even officially been released yet. Another highlight was the debut live performance of 'Do It Like That', a collaboration with Jonas Brothers. The group also surprised fans with the news of an upcoming remix with Jax Jones set to release the following week.
Expressing gratitude, Tomorrow X Together said, "Being at 'Lollapalooza' this year was truly enjoyable. We feel we've experienced a proper summer here and have created memories we'll never forget. We're thankful to have met you all as the dream headliners of this stage."
Looking forward, they teased, "We have our continuing world tour and an upcoming album, along with various activities that will surely surprise you."
The finale showcased their Billboard 200 #1 mini-album 'Name of the Game: TEMPTATION' title track 'Sugar Rush Ride'. TXT dominated the stage with explosive energy till the end, with grand fireworks, and the roaring applause from the audience felt akin to their solo concert.
After Lollapalooza, Tomorrow X Together will continue their second world tour 'TOMORROW X TOGETHER WORLD TOUR <ACT: SWEET MIRAGE>' with stops in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 9th and Bulacan, Philippines on the 13th.
