Le Sserafim set to be first K-pop girl group to perform at iHeartRadio Music Festival

Le Sserafim will perform at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Festival in the United States, becoming the first K-pop girl group to perform at the event, its agency Source Music announced Thursday.

The music festival is annually hosted by iHeartRadio, and will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Sept. 18 and 19. Le Sserafim will be performing on the second day.

Artists such as BTS, Cardi B and Snoop Dogg are also set to perform during this year's festival. Performances are streamed through the iHeartMedia radio station, Disney+ and Hulu.

The group also announced that it released a "Sound Coin" version of its albums on Thursday. The collection comprises six releases, from its debut EP "Fearless" (2022) to its fifth EP "Hot" (2025), including "Antifragile" (2022), "Unforgiven" (2023), "Easy" (2024) and "Crazy" (2024).

Each album is designed in the shape of a coin, featuring the album's logo and photo on either side. Fans can access the music and other digital content by scanning the coin-shaped album's NFC tag.

Le Sserafim is set to begin its world tour "Pureflow" with two concerts at the Inspire Arena in Incheon on July 11 and 12. The tour will then move to Asia, the United States and Europe, with 32 shows scheduled across the run.

Le Sserafim is a five-member act comprised of Kim Chae-won, Kazuha, Huh Yun-jin, Sakura Miyawaki and Hong Eun-chae. It debuted in May 2022, under Source Music, a K-pop agency under HYBE.
