SEOUL, Mar. 14 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korean boy group Seventeen will headline this year’s edition of the Lollapalooza Berlin music festival in September, the group’s agency said Thursday.
The 13-member group was included on the list of headliners for the festival, which is taking place on Sept. 7-8 at Olympiastadion Berlin in the German capital, Pledis Entertainment said.
Lollapalooza Berlin is a global music festival featuring a lineup of big-name pop stars each year. This year’s performers include Sam Smith, Martin Garrix and Burna Boy.
This marks the first time that Seventeen will be performing at a major music festival in Europe. It is also the only K-pop act invited to the festival this year.
Seventeen set a record last year by selling a cumulative 16 million copies of albums in South Korea. The group will be kicking off its encore world tour with concerts at the Incheon Asiad Main Stadium on March 30-31.
