Overview
- Jennie headlined and closed Lollapalooza's main Bud Light stage in Chicago on Aug. 1 with an 18-song, roughly one-hour set that mixed solo hits and new music.
- Her agency confirmed she debuted at least one unreleased song during the set while some outlets and fan reports said she performed as many as four unreleased tracks, a detail that remains disputed.
- Fan reaction on social platforms was broadly enthusiastic and produced viral clips of the performance, but local reviews and livestream viewers criticized vocal clarity, sound mix and said parts of the casual crowd left during the set.
- Rookie group CORTIS turned in a separate breakout moment at Lollapalooza with a high-energy, livestreamed Weverse set that amplified K-pop's festival visibility and drew new international attention.
- Jennie is scheduled to perform next at Japan's Summer Sonic on Aug. 14, a date that industry observers say will be watched for adjustments to live sound, staging and set composition after mixed responses in Chicago.
