Group Ive will appear at Japan's largest music festival.
According to the 'Summer Sonic' official website on the 1st, it was named in the lineup of 'Summer Sonic 2024', which will be held at Osaka World Expo Commemorative Park in Osaka, Japan on August 17th and at ZOZO Marine Town & Makuhari Messe in Tokyo on the 18th.
'Summer Sonic' is Japan's largest urban music festival, visited by about
200,000 people every year, and invites not only Japan's top artists but
also world-class musicians to present performances of various genres. Ive,
who has enjoyed explosive popularity in the local market and received a
lot of love, once again proves his global presence by appearing on 'Summer
Sonic'.
Even before his official debut in Japan, Ive's debut song 'Eleven' was
selected as the theme song for Fuji TV's 'Virtual Adventure Island 2022',
and he has been in the spotlight of NHK's special program
'SONGS+PLUS'.
Afterwards, Ive, who officially debuted in Japan in October 2022, topped
the Oricon daily chart with the Japanese version of 'Eleven', entered
'Eleven' at 9th on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart, and won the Record
Association of Japan with his debut single album 'Eleven'. They showed off
their potential by being listed on the 'Gold Disk' selected by
.
Their first Japanese album 'Wave', released in May last year, ranked
first on the Oricon Daily and Weekly Album Charts, Tower Records' All
Stores Comprehensive Album Chart, and Billboard Japan Weekly Top Album
Sales Chart. Recently, on Billboard Japan's latest 'Streaming Song' chart,
the title song 'I Am' from the first full-length album 'I Have Ive'
achieved 100 million cumulative streams.
As evidence of this rising popularity, Ive will hold an encore
performance of his first world tour 'Show What I Have' at Tokyo Dome in
Japan on September 4th and 5th, about two years after his official debut
in Japan.
Following his entry into the Tokyo Dome and confirmation of his
appearance in 'Summer Sonic 2024', attention is focused on the global
moves that Ive will show in the future, as he is further solidifying his
position in Japan.
