Boy group NEXZ has been named in the line-up of the Brazilian mega-music festival "Rock in Rio."

According to JYP Entertainment's agency on the 13th, NEXZ (Tomoya, Yuwoo, Haru, Sogan, Seita, Huei, and Yuki) will decorate the opening stage of the large-scale music festival "Rock in Rio" held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from September 4th to 7th, 11th to 13th (local time) in 2026, and will participate in a large global music festival for the first time since its debut. On the same day, NEXZ opened the festival's spectacular opening ahead of JYP senior group Stray Kids, who will be the first headliner in K-pop artists' history, and will shine its presence as a "next-generation performance powerhouse."

Rock in Rio, one of the world's largest music festivals, began in Rio de Janeiro in 1985 and was held in Lisbon, Portugal, Madrid, Spain, and Las Vegas, USA, and is also well-known as a stage where leading artists of the era, including Queen, Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and MUSE, passed through. Expectations are high for NEXZ, which makes a strong impression with its solid live performance and excellent performance skills, to perform on stage that music fans around the world are paying attention to.

Since NEXZ made its global debut with its first single "Ride the Vibe" in May 2024, it has distinguished itself in various fields, including music, performance, and various contents appearances, and has been a "global rising star." Last year, he won trophies at various music awards such as 'ASEA 2025', '2025 TMA', '2025 KGMA', and '10th Anniversary AAA 2025' and opened 2026 with a strong performance by winning two gold medals at the '2026 The Awards'.

In February, he ranked first in the Oricon weekly music DVD and BD rankings (2026.02.16~02.22) with his video work "NEXZ LIVE TOUR 2025 "One Bite" in Budokan," which contains the live performance of Japan's first live tour "NEXZ LIVE TOUR 2025" (one byte).

With the momentum, they will perform solo as part of the special concert "NEXZ SPECIAL CONCERT <ONE BEAT>" in Hong Kong on March 28 and 29. In May, he will enter his first arena tour and second live tour 'NEXZ LIVE TOUR 2026' in Japan, and will also hold his first Asian tour since his debut this year.
