Cortis captivated 50,000 attendees at Lollapalooza Chicago... also performed a collaborative stage with Juicy J

CORTIS took the stage at the global music festival ’Lollapalooza Chicago’ held in Chicago, USA. CORTIS (Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, Gunho) performed on the ’T-MOBILE’ stage at Grant Park in Chicago on the 1st (local time), with an estimated audience of about 50,000 people attending. Despite the challenging conditions caused by rain throughout the day, which made the ground muddy, many fans gathered. Even before the performance began, the venue was filled with voices chanting ’CORTIS,’ and many fans were seen wearing official merchandise T-shirts and bandanas. CORTIS started the stage with ’GO!’ and ’What You Want,’ engaging with the audience. They then performed their hit songs such as ’REDRED,’ ’ACAI,’ and ’YOUNGCREATORCREW,’ maintaining unwavering live vocals amid intense choreography, headbanging, and performances crossing the stage. During the ’TNT’ remix stage, the members went down to the floor, breaking the boundary between the stage and the audience. The highlight of the performance was the surprise appearance of Juicy J, a legend of Southern hip-hop in the United States. CORTIS and Juicy J performed a joint live stage of their collaboration song ’MOTION (feat. Juicy J),’ released on the 31st of last month. The stage, combining Juicy J’s rap and Memphis sound with CORTIS’s performance, received great cheers from the audience. CORTIS showed respect by calling Juicy J their ’big brother,’ and Juicy J displayed close chemistry by linking arms with the members. This performance was streamed live on the global superfan platform Weverse, Disney+, and Hulu in the US, Japan, and South America, with over 167,000 viewers watching on Weverse Live alone. It was reported that viewers from 185 countries and regions, including Korea, China, the UK, Germany, France, Canada, Vietnam, and Indonesia, watched evenly. Through their agency Big Hit Music, CORTIS shared, ″We were really happy to be part of ’Lollapalooza Chicago,’ a dream we have had since we were young. The passionate concert atmosphere we vaguely imagined while working on our mini-album 2 ’GREENGREEN’ unfolded into reality, which was overwhelming and joyful.″ They added, ″We will work hard to show CORTIS’s energetic stage in the North America, Seoul, and Japan tours as well.″ Starting on the 4th in Toronto, Canada, CORTIS will continue the ’2026 CORTIS TOUR PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN IN NORTH AMERICA’ in six North American cities until the 16th. This tour is part of their first tour, which began in Incheon in July and will continue to Kanagawa, Japan, in September.
