Riize wrapped a busy run of festival appearances across Japan, Korea and Thailand this month, delivering high-energy sets and drawing strong audience responses at each stop.

The group performed at the Performance festival, held at K-Arena Yokohama, April 10–11. Their set featured Japanese releases including “Lucky,” “All of You” and “Flashlight,” along with a joint stage of “Boom Boom Bass” with the Japanese boy band The Rampage.

In Seoul, Riize took the stage at the Lovesome Festival at Yonsei University’s open-air theater on April 12, where the group presented live band versions of “Get A Guitar,” “Love 119” and “Fly Up.” Responding to repeated encore calls, they added a surprise performance of “Bag Bad Back,” closing the night as headliners.
