BTS’ J-Hope is officially returning to the global stage as a headliner for Lollapalooza Berlin 2025, and fans are already rearranging their schedules to witness it. The announcement came on February 19, when the full artist lineup was revealed. Alongside J-Hope, the lineup includes K-pop girl group IVE and major international names like Justin Timberlake, Gracie Abrams, Raye, Benson Boone, Armin van Buuren, and Brutalismus 3000. The news has stirred excitement among ARMY, who remember his historic solo performance at Lollapalooza Chicago in 2022, where he became the first South Korean artist to headline the event.
Lollapalooza Berlin 2025 will be held over two days, on July 12 and 13, at the Olympic Park and Olympic Stadium in Berlin. IVE is scheduled to perform on Saturday, July 12, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM local time on the Telekom Main Stage. J-Hope will take the same stage the following night, Sunday, July 13, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM local time. The venue is well-known for its large capacity and multi-stage setup, which allows for a mix of genres and performances. The festival is expected to draw massive crowds, including fans from around the world traveling to see their favorite acts live.
For those who won’t be able to attend in person, Lollapalooza Berlin will be streamed live through its official YouTube channel. This makes it possible for fans globally to tune in and enjoy the performances from wherever they are. The festival has also released a mobile app, available on both the App Store and Google Play, that offers real-time updates, artist information, stage maps, and schedules. Whether attending on-site or watching from home, the app helps fans stay on top of everything happening throughout the event.
This Berlin appearance marks another milestone in J-Hope’s growing legacy as a solo performer. His 2022 set in Chicago received widespread praise for its bold energy and diverse music selection, and it introduced him to a new audience beyond BTS. His return to the Lollapalooza stage now carries even more weight, especially after his time away for military service. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if he will perform his recent post-service singles like “Sweet Dreams,” “MONA LISA,” or “Killin’ It Girl,” along with older tracks from his album “Jack In The Box.”
The inclusion of IVE in the festival lineup is also meaningful for K-pop fans. This will be the girl group’s Lollapalooza debut, and their set is expected to draw both longtime followers and curious newcomers. With both IVE and J-Hope performing, the 2025 edition of Lollapalooza Berlin becomes a major moment for K-pop on the global music stage. Fans of both artists are preparing for a weekend full of high energy and unforgettable performances, whether they’re joining the crowds in Berlin or watching the livestream at home.
