K-pop group TXT to headline Lollapalooza music festival

South Korean music group Tomorrow X Together is set to take the stage at the upcoming Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago, US, as a first-time headliner.

Also called TXT, the band first performed at the gala in 2022.


According to a press release, TXT will become the second K-pop act after BTS member j-hope to headline the festival, scheduled to run from August 3 to August 6 this year.

The group -- comprising Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai -- will perform at Lollapalooza 2023 on August 5 from 8.30 pm to 10.00 pm.

The performance will be available for live viewing for global fans everywhere on Weverse Live, YouTube, and Hulu (only in the US), the release said.

At the gala, the quintet will be accompanied by a live band and will present a set list of songs from their discography.

TXT's headlining set includes a premiere live performance of the summer anthem "Do It Like That" released in July. Rapper and singer Coi Leray will make a special guest appearance for another exciting performance of "Happy Fools (feat. Coi Leray)," the release stated.

A special viewing event of the headlining performance will be held in the band's native South Korea for their fan group MOA (Moments of Alwaysness), it added.

Netflix approves $25 billion buyback after scrapping Warner Bros bid

Highlights

  • Netflix board approved a $25bn share repurchase on 22 April, with no expiry date.
  • The move follows Netflix abandoning its $83bn bid for Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets.
  • Netflix stock has fallen more than 10 per cent since weak Q2 guidance, closing at $93.24 on 22 April.
Netflix has approved a $25 billion share buyback programme, using capital it had kept aside for its failed bid to buy Warner Bros.
The board gave the green light on 22 April, with the decision disclosed in an SEC filing the next day.
There is no expiry date on the programme. It comes on top of an existing December 2024 buyback that still had $6.8 billion left as of 31 March.

Earlier this year, Netflix pulled out of an $83 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets after Paramount Skydance made a rival bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount then paid Netflix a $2.8 billion exit fee.

Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters had already said the company would restart share buybacks once the deal was off.

Netflix shares have had a rough ride. They hit an all-time high of $134.12 in June 2025, then fell more than 40 per cent when the Warner Bros deal was announced.
