During their headlining set at Lollapalooza 2025 in Chicago, K-pop group TWICE had their microphones cut off after remaining on stage following a crowd-led encore chant.
The group had completed a 21-song performance when fans began chanting for “one more song.”
Members of TWICE stayed on stage in response, visibly interacting with the audience and acknowledging the calls.
As seen in video footage from the event, one member asked the crowd, “You guys want some more?” before their microphones were unexpectedly cut.
Another member was heard attempting to speak before saying, “The mic is—” as the audio feed ended.

#TWICE dominated Lollapalooza, performing 21 songs nonstop and returning for an extra one because the crowd kept asking for more. In the end, their mics had to be turned off — they refused to leave the stage. That’s how powerful they are.

The group remained on stage briefly, continuing to wave, bow, and gesture in appreciation before exiting.
TWICE’s appearance marked one of the most anticipated moments of the festival, drawing a large crowd.
The performance was part of an extended tour of major Western festivals featuring top K-pop acts. Despite the abrupt end, the group completed their full setlist prior to the encore chants.
The moment has since circulated on social media through fan-captured clips and recaps, with no reports of technical difficulties during the earlier part of the show.
