K-pop icon SEVENTEEN has once again made history, becoming the first K-pop act to headline the prestigious Lollapalooza Berlin on Sept. 8 at the iconic Olympiastadion & Olympiapark.
SEVENTEEN drew a massive crowd on Sunday, with the two-day festival reporting around 110,000 attendees over the weekend. This successful return to the European stage came shortly after their standout performance on Glastonbury’s main Pyramid Stage last June.
The 13-piece act delivered a dynamic 90-minute headlining set with a live band, showcasing their hit-packed discography and commanding stage presence to a crowd of devoted fans and intrigued onlookers.
Kicking off with the high-energy hits “Super” and “DON QUIXOTE,” they immediately captivated the audience with their impeccable synchronized choreography and powerful vocals.
“We know how much you have waited for us. Not only is it our first time in Berlin, it’s our first time to perform at Lollapalooza, and it’s our first time to headline it. It’s all thanks to you guys,” member Vernon said.
The performance then shifted to a more feel-good atmosphere with tracks like “Darl+ing,” “Ready to love,” and “Rock with you,” which exuded a refreshing vibe perfect for the early autumn evening, making the crowd sway in tempo. Fans were also treated to SEVENTEEN’s diverse musical spectrum through unit stages—including BSS’s “Fighting (Feat. Lee Young Ji),” the vocal unit’s “Cheers to youth,” the performance unit’s “Spell”, the hip-hop unit’s “Fire” and SVT LEADERS’ “CHEERS”.
The night reached its peak with power-packed performances of “MAESTRO,” “SOS,” and “HOT,” before transitioning to more hopeful tunes of “Headliner,” “Together (English ver.),” and “God of Music.” As the lyrics of “Together (English ver.)” were displayed on the LED screen during the performance, the crowd sang along in unison, vividly illustrating the group’s impact in conveying togetherness and positive energy through their music.
SEVENTEEN ended their historic performance with an extended rendition of their hit “Very Nice,” stretching out over four encores as the crowd danced with exuberance.
Following their history-making performance, the 13-piece act is set to return this October with their highly anticipated 12th Mini Album and [RIGHT HERE] world tour, showing no signs of slowing down.
