| With high-impact performances, the group captivated tens of thousands of fans and generated major buzz during its first festival run in the region.
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 March 14 at Hipódromo de San Isidro in Buenos Aires, Argentina; March 15 at Parque O’Higgins in Santiago, Chile; and March 21 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.
