On August 1st, 2026, IVE brought their signature energy, confidence, and charm to The Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California, for their highly anticipated tour. The six-member group—Gaeul, Yujin, Rei, Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo—delivered a dynamic performance that moved effortlessly between powerful choreography, captivating solo stages, fan interactions, and some of their biggest hits.
A Powerful Opening
As the lights dimmed and the night began, loud cheers filled the stadium as the group appeared center stage in dramatic fashion. The screams only grew louder as “Gotcha” began to play, with Yujin immediately getting the crowd hyped as she asked, “LA, are you ready?” The group did not let the energy drop as they leaned into their darker-concept songs, performing “XOXZ,” “Baddie,” “Ice Queen,” and “Blackhole.” Yujin delivered one of her many impressive high notes during the set as confetti blasted across the venue, adding another dramatic touch to the already commanding opening.
IVE finally took a small pause to greet their fans, with Wonyoung enthusiastically yelling, “What’s up, LA?” The brief break gave DIVE a chance to catch their breath before the group returned to the stage to finish the first segment with “TKO,” “Holy Moly,” and “My Satisfaction.”
Six Members, Six Different Colors
The solo stages offered each member the opportunity to step into her own spotlight and showcase a different side of her artistry and personality. Wonyoung opened the solo performances with the undeniable It Girl energy of “8,” commanding the stage with her polished presence. Rei followed with the bright and girly pop atmosphere of “In Your Heart,” bringing her own playful charm to the performance.
Liz shifted the mood with the dreamy confidence of “Unreal,” enhanced by a shower of confetti that complemented the atmosphere of the stage. Gaeul embraced her unique charm and personality during “Odd,” highlighting her individuality and effortless cool.
Leeseo brought youthful energy and playful confidence to “Super ICY,” keeping the momentum high before Yujin closed out the solo stages with the commanding presence and polished charisma of “Force.” Together, the six solo performances highlighted the distinct colors of each member while showcasing the individuality that makes IVE such a dynamic group.
A Softer Side of IVE
The stage screens came back to life as fans watched Rei backstage waiting for her members. Soon, the group appeared in cute all-white outfits complete with angel wings, creating a stark contrast from the darker and more powerful opening portion of the concert.
After taking a selfie together, the members returned to the stage for “Heartbeat.” They then took a break from the choreography to walk around and interact with fans while performing “Off The Record” and “Flu,” creating a more intimate atmosphere inside the massive venue.
The group eventually gathered center stage to individually introduce themselves and talk about their solo performances. Their conversations gave DIVE another opportunity to connect with the members before IVE teased that their favorite songs were on the way.
The Hits Keep Coming
The mood shifted once again as the members took their positions and the first notes of “Attitude” rang through the venue. In a dramatic costume change, they ripped off their cute outfits to reveal sparkling and iconic stage pieces, immediately transforming the atmosphere and adding another layer of showmanship to the performance.
IVE kept the momentum going with back-to-back fan favorites “Love Dive” and “Rebel Heart.” The performances showcased the group’s ability to balance powerful choreography with their natural charisma, keeping the audience singing and dancing along.
As the concert neared its conclusion, the members wanted to hear DIVE’s loudest cheers. Wonyoung took on the role of conductor as she led a floor-by-floor cheer check, giving each section of the venue a chance to prove just how loud they could be. After saying their goodbyes, the members moved toward the extended stage to close the main set with “Bang Bang.”
An Encore to Remember
Of course, the night wasn’t quite over yet. The cheers from DIVE brought IVE back to the stage for an encore, where the members returned with the same energy and enthusiasm they had displayed throughout the night. They opened the encore with “Wild Bird,” followed by “Supernova Love,” giving fans another chance to see the six members together in a more relaxed and celebratory setting.
The excitement continued with “Kitsch,” a fan-favorite that had the entire venue singing along. Finally, IVE closed out their Los Angeles stop with “After Like,” turning the Kia Forum into one final celebration. With the members interacting with fans and soaking in the atmosphere, the encore served as the perfect farewell to an unforgettable night.
