Hwasa to Become First K-Pop Female Soloist to Perform on Main Stage of Rock in Rio

Singer Hwasa is set to become the first K-Pop female solo artist to perform at Rock in Rio, one of the world's largest music festivals.

Hwasa will take the stage on the 11th (local time) at the Palco Mundo (World Stage), the main stage of Rock in Rio 2026, held at the Olympic Park in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Rock in Rio is one of the world's largest music festivals, which began in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1985 and has since expanded to cities including Lisbon, Madrid, and Las Vegas. Iconic acts such as Queen, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, and Beyoncé have graced its stages.

The Palco Mundo, where Hwasa will perform, is the main stage featuring Rock in Rio's biggest headliners. This year, artists including Elton John, Maroon 5, and Stray Kids are listed alongside her. Hwasa makes history as the first K-Pop female solo artist to perform on this stage.

During the performance, Hwasa is scheduled to showcase her hit songs, including "Twit" and "Maria," as well as "Good Goodbye," which was released in October of last year.
