The buzz on r/lollapalooza is electric as fans gear up for KATSEYE’s Lollapalooza 2025 performance, scheduled for August 3. Riding the wave of their breakout hit “Gnarly” and their eagerly awaited EP Beautiful Chaos dropping June 27, KATSEYE is expected to pull a crowd rivaling the legendary turnout NewJeans commanded at Lolla 2023.
Redditors are already drawing parallels between these two K-pop sensations, debating whether KATSEYE can match or surpass NewJeans’ iconic festival presence. Though the festival lineup remains packed with heavy hitters like TWICE, Olivia Rodrigo, and Tyler, The Creator, KATSEYE stands out as a rising star with broad pop appeal.
While official details on KATSEYE’s exact set time and stage have yet to be confirmed, their momentum—highlighted by their Billboard Hot 100 chart entry—foreshadows a major crowd presence. Alternative stage battles are expected as well, with Rebecca Black drawing notable anticipation at Perry’s stage.
As Lollapalooza approaches, eyes are fixed on whether KATSEYE will ignite the festival with the same energy and cultural impact that NewJeans set just two years ago. This could be one of Lolla 2025’s most talked-about breakout moments.
