RIIZE, under SM Entertainment, has once again made a name for itself on the overseas festival stage.
On October 4th (local time), RIIZE became the first K-pop idol to perform at the Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) held at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, delivering a high-quality live performance with a handheld microphone for about an hour, captivating numerous audience members.
The members opened with a powerful performance of 'Bag Bad Back' and 'Siren', and also presented a band version arrangement of 'Get A Guitar', 'Boom Boom Bass', and 'Combo', as well as 'Fly Up', reminiscent of a youth musical, 'Love 119' with an emotional touch, the refreshing 'Impossible', and the hip 'Talk Saxy', totaling 13 songs on stage.
With a diverse atmosphere of music and a newly prepared dance break for ACL, RIIZE also communicated warmly with the audience from the opening greeting, saying, "We are happy to be here with so many world-class artists," which received a positive response. They naturally encouraged sing-alongs during the performance of 'Show Me Love', raising the energy of the venue.
Before the final stage, the members expressed, "We were truly happy to share RIIZE's music with you. Thanks to your enjoyment until the end, we received good energy and were able to finish the stage well. It will be a memory we will never forget," which earned them applause.
Meanwhile, RIIZE, which is receiving much love for its skills and charm as a K-pop 'ONE TOP' artist at various overseas festivals, has already confirmed its appearance at the 2026 Lollapalooza South America, set to perform in Argentina on March 14, Chile on March 15, and Brazil on March 21.
