RIIZE is making history as they gear up to perform at the prestigious Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival later this year! This would make the idol group the first K-pop act to perform at the event!
RIIZE To Join Austin City Limits Music Festival
On May 6 local time, the ACL Music Festival officially unveiled its star-studded 2025 lineup, revealing that RIIZE will be joining the roster of global acts as the first K-pop group ever to perform on the festival’s main stage. This groundbreaking appearance marks a major milestone not only for RIIZE but also for K-pop’s continued expansion into global music festivals.
RIIZE will take the stage during Weekend One, scheduled from October 3 to 5, sharing the bill with internationally acclaimed artists such as Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, Doja Cat, The Strokes, Doechii, Luke Combs, and John Summit. Their inclusion in such a diverse and high-profile lineup reflects RIIZE’s rapidly growing international presence and musical influence.
The Austin City Limits Music Festival, held annually in Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, is one of the most iconic music events in the United States. Known for its eclectic mix of genres and world-class performances, ACL has become a key platform for artists to connect with a global audience—and RIIZE’s participation marks another step toward K-pop becoming a regular fixture at major international festivals.
As excitement builds for their ACL debut, RIIZE is also preparing to return to the music scene with their first full-length album, ‘ODYSSEY’, which is set to drop on May 19 at 6 p.m. KST. This comeback is expected to showcase the group’s artistic growth and further solidify their position as one of the most promising fourth-generation K-pop acts.
With a festival performance on the horizon and a major album release imminent, RIIZE’s 2025 is shaping up to be both career-defining and history-making.
