“MZ Wannabe Icon” IVE (An Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, Leeseo) is set to perform at the Rock in Japan Festival 2025.



According to their agency Starship Entertainment, IVE departed for Japan on the 14th to attend the Rock in Japan Festival 2025, held on the 15th at Soga Sports Park in Chiba. Launched in 2000, the festival marks its 26th anniversary this year and is considered one of Japan’s premier music festivals, alongside Summer Sonic and Fuji Rock Festival. Running from September 13–15 and 20–21, IVE will perform on the festival’s LOTUS STAGE today, the third day, captivating local audiences.



Last year, IVE drew attention with flawless “CD-quality” live vocals and passionate performances at global music festivals such as Lollapalooza Chicago and Summer Sonic 2024. Gaining spotlight from international media, they established themselves as a rising powerhouse of K-festival performances. This July, they further proved their presence by dominating stages at Lollapalooza Berlin and Lollapalooza Paris, showcasing greater confidence and charisma.

Now, with their appearance at Rock in Japan Festival 2025, IVE continues this remarkable streak. By being invited to prestigious festivals worldwide one after another, the group reaffirms their strength as one of the most powerful global festival forces, set to once again display their commanding presence on the world stage.
