Fans are blowing up the internet after hearing the official announcement that K-pop group TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) will be the first K-pop act to perform and headline on Axe Ceremonia.

Not only is the Kpop group TXT the first Kpop group to ever perform at the Ace Ceremonia 2025, but they are also headlining it this weekend. The group comprises Yeonjun, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and HueningKai, who will be performing with artists like Charli XCX, Tyler the Creator, and The Marias

The group shared their excitement by stating,

We’re honored and excited to meet our Mexican fans. We’ve prepared a stage full of color and emotion, with a live band to bring something truly special to Latin America.

This is not the first time TXT has received recognition through a music festival, as the group performed at Lollapalooza Chicago in 2023 and at SUMMER SONIC in Japan further back in 2022. They were one of the first acts announced in the lineup back in October. While asked about the group, the director and the co-founder of the festival, Diego Jiménez, stated:

We like to seek balance, those connections between the past and the present, to create a snapshot of what’s happening today
