K-pop group TWICE made music history on August 2, 2025, as the first all-female K-pop act to headline Lollapalooza.
The third day of the four-day festival, held annually at Grant Park in Chicago, featured TWICE, who "sealed the Honmoon" as part of their KPop Demon Hunters era with a dazzling drone light show that lit up the Chicago sky and a landmark Lollapalooza performance.

Their performance included “Queen of Hearts” and the title track from their newly released fourth album, This is For, which debuted in July 2025.
This year’s edition of Lollapalooza also featured a lineup of major acts, including A$AP Rocky, Olivia Rodrigo, and Tyler, the Creator.
