They are the only K-pop boy group with a solo stage.
They aim to expand their global fanbase alongside their new release.
CORTIS is set to perform at the renowned music festival 'Lollapalooza Chicago' in the U.S. from July 30 to August 2 at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. Notably, they are the only K-pop boy group participating this year, and despite being less than a year old, they will showcase their talent on a solo stage. Lollapalooza, which began in 1991, is a massive summer music festival attracting over 400,000 fans and around 170 artists annually. The lineup this year boasts big names like Charli XCX, Olivia Dean, and Lorde. CORTIS has shown remarkable growth since their debut, with their first album 'COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES' entering the Billboard 200 at number 15 and selling over 2 million copies within six months. They will also release a new title track on April 20, followed by their mini-album 'GREENGREEN' on May 4.
CORTIS's appearance at Lollapalooza marks a significant milestone in their rapid ascendance. As K-pop continues to gain traction globally, opportunities for international performances are increasingly becoming available. Their stage at this festival offers a chance to cultivate a new fanbase. The immense scale and diversity of Lollapalooza present a challenging yet rewarding opportunity for K-pop artists, and CORTIS is well-positioned to solidify their unique identity through this experience.
