Early in August, NewJeans trended on Twitter when it performed on the opening day of Lollapalooza 2023 at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. Bunnies – the girl group's fans – couldn't help but share how proud they were of their idol group and trended #LollaJeans and #Newllapalooza on Twitter at the time.
Performing at Lollapalooza 2023 makes NewJeans the first female K-Pop act to achieve such a milestone. It now joins TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) and BTS' J-Hope as the first K-Pop performers at the Lollapalooza music festival. TXT is the first K-Pop act, and J-Hope is the first solo K-Pop idol to perform at the festival.
According to setlist.fm, NewJeans performed a total of twelve songs during its Lollapalooza stage, including "Hype Boy," "Cookie," "Hurt," "Attention," "Ditto," "OMG," "New Jeans," "Super Shy," "ETA," "Cool With You," "Get Up" and "ASAP."
