RIIZE takes over Latin America at Lollapalooza!

SHOTARO, EUNSEOK, SUNGCHAN, WONBIN, SOHEE, and ANTON successfully marked RIIZE’s first Latin American tour and debut in the region with a standout run across Lollapalooza Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, making history as the first male K-pop group to perform across all three countries.

“Performing at Lollapalooza in Latin America was an unforgettable experience for us,” RIIZE shared in a group statement. “The passion and energy from the crowd were beyond anything we imagined, and even from the other side of the world, we truly felt connected with our fans through our music. We’d love to come back.”
 
RIIZE expanded their connection with local fans through electrifying performances on 14 March at Hipódromo de San Isidro in Buenos Aires, Argentina; 15 March at Parque O’Higgins in Santiago, Chile; and 21 March at Autódromo de Interlagos in São Paulo, Brazil.
 
Following their [RIIZING LOUD] WORLD TOUR IN TOKYO DOME 2026, the group brought their signature energy to Latin America with dynamic, high-impact sets that combined live vocals, powerful choreography, and band-backed arrangements. Across their performances, RIIZE delivered a setlist of 18 songs, featuring fan favorites such as “Get A Guitar”, “Talk Sexy”, “Siren”, “Impossible”, “Boom Boom Bass”, “Combo”, “Fly Up”, and “Fame”.
 
With audience-specific remarks in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, RIIZE created a deeper connection in each country and elevated the overall live experience, generating strong media interest across the region and engaging with numerous outlets to discuss their journey in Latin America and their growing global presence.
 
In Brazil, this momentum extended beyond the stage through a series of high-profile appearances and cultural experiences in São Paulo, including an appearance on The Noite com Danilo Gentili, a visit to the iconic ZIV Gallery at Beco do Batman where they took part in a graffiti session, and personalized Santos FC jerseys worn during their Lollapalooza soundcheck. The experience was further highlighted by a special “Welcome to Brazil, RIIZE” display at Roda Rico; the largest Ferris wheel in the country.

Building on the success of their Latin American debut, RIIZE will continue their global activities with upcoming performances at major festivals across Asia this April, including Japan’s The Performance, Lovesome Festival, and Thailand’s K2O Songkran Music Festival.
 
About RIIZE

RIIZE is a six-member K-pop boy group under SM Entertainment, known for shaping a distinct musical identity with Emotional Pop – a sound rooted in honest storytelling and real-time emotional growth. The group’s name combines the words “Rise” and “Realize,” symbolising a team that grows together while turning dreams into reality. Since their official debut in September 2023 with the hit single “Get A Guitar,” RIIZE has rapidly emerged as one of the most dynamic and successful new acts in k-pop. 

Composed of members SHOTARO, EUNSEOK, SUNGCHAN, WONBIN, SOHEE, and ANTON, RIIZE quickly captured global attention, breaking records as the fastest K-pop group to reach 1 million Instagram followers and becoming a favourite across music, fashion, and advertising industries. Within just four months of debut, they swept four Rookie of the Year awards, signaling their arrival as a top-tier act. 

In 2024, RIIZE continued their meteoric ascent with hits like “Love 119” and their first mini album RIIZING, achieving consecutive million-seller status and selling out fan concerts across 19 cities worldwide. Their global appeal was spotlighted early on when, just three months after debut, they were tapped by Louis Vuitton as House Ambassadors – a collaboration that underscored their rapid international impact. The group ended 2024 by surpassing 1M followers on Spotify, becoming the first among the boy groups who debuted in 2023 to reach this milestone. Their debut single, “Get A Guitar” also hit 100 million streams at the end of last year, further demonstrating the meteoric rise of the group. 

Most recently, the group released their debut full-length album ODYSSEY, which achieved over one million sales, marking RIIZE’s third consecutive million-seller and further solidifying their position as one of K-pop’s most impactful rising forces.
