IVE Confirmed to Perform at Japan's Premier 'Rock in Japan Festival 2025'

Global phenomenon IVE is set to electrify audiences at Japan's most prestigious music festival, 'Rock in Japan Festival 2025 (RIJF)'.

Starship Entertainment announced that the group will depart for Japan on September 14 to join the festival, which takes place at Soga Sports Park in Chiba. Now in its 26th year, RIJF is recognized as one of Japan's top-tier music events, alongside Summer Sonic and Fuji Rock.

The festival runs from September 13-15 and September 20-21, with IVE scheduled to perform on the LOTUS STAGE on the third day of the event.

This booking solidifies IVE's status as a festival powerhouse. In 2024 alone, they captivated audiences at Lollapalooza Chicago and Summer Sonic Japan with flawless live vocals and energetic performances, earning widespread acclaim as a rising force in K-pop festival circuits.

Their international festival streak continued with appearances at Lollapalooza Berlin and Paris in July, where their undeniable charisma and polished stage presence enthralled massive crowds.

Japan has been a crucial market for IVE's expansion. Since their Japanese debut with 'ELEVEN -Japanese ver.-' in 2022, they have cultivated a dedicated local fanbase. Their 'IVE SCOUT IN JAPAN' fan-concert tour earlier this year drew an impressive 100,000 attendees, and their third Japanese album 'Be Alright' dominated Oricon, Billboard Japan, and Tower Records charts.

Most recently, their fourth Korean mini-album 'IVE SECRET' and its lead single 'XO, Ur MY WORLD' achieved significant success on both domestic and international charts.

With the addition of Rock in Japan to their impressive resume, IVE is proving their unstoppable momentum, cementing their position as one of K-pop's leading festival acts on the global stage.

IVE debuted in late 2021 and quickly rose to become a top-tier K-pop girl group, known for their elegant and confident concept. Each member possesses unique visuals and vocal talents, contributing to their widespread appeal. Their participation in Rock in Japan Festival underscores their significant influence and growing popularity within the Japanese music scene.
