NEXZ to perform at Rock in Rio, Brazil

Boy group NEXZ has been named to the lineup of Brazil's massive music festival, 'Rock in Rio'. At the festival, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in September 2026, NEXZ will participate in a major global music festival for the first time since their debut, gracing the opening stage before Stray Kids, who will be the first K-pop artist to headline on the same day.

'Rock in Rio' is a world-renowned music festival that began in 1985, famous for stages graced by legendary artists such as Queen and Guns N' Roses. NEXZ is expected to capture the attention of music fans worldwide with their solid live performance skills.

Debuting in May 2024, NEXZ has emerged as a 'global rising star' by excelling in various aspects including music and performance. They won rookie awards at several ceremonies last year and took home two awards at 'The Fact Music Awards 2026'.

In February, they achieved the No. 1 spot on the Oricon Weekly Music DVD/Blu-ray Ranking with a live performance video from their first Japanese live tour.

Following their Hong Kong special concert in March and their Japanese arena tour in May, NEXZ is also scheduled to hold their first-ever Asian tour this year.
