Seventeen made history as the first K-pop group to perform on the main stage at Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England, showcasing their global influence.

The 13-member band captivated the audience on the Pyramid Stage with hits like "Maestro," "Ready to Love," "SOS," "Clap," "God of Music," and "Headliner."

“It’s unbelievable that we are the first K-pop group to perform at Glastonbury,” Woozi proclaimed.

Glastonbury, the UK's largest music festival, hosts artists across various genres, including rock, pop, jazz, and electronic music. This year’s event featured over 20 main stage performances by artists such as Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA.

Seventeen engaged actively with the audience, performing fan favorites "Rock With You" and "Hot," while showcasing their diverse talents through subunit performances.

Unique to their performance was the inclusion of subunit showcases: the hip-hop unit with "Lalali," the performance team with "I Don't Understand But I Luv U," and the vocal group with "Youth Anthem." Joshua and Vernon's English track "2 Minus 1" added to the concert’s atmosphere.

The encore featured an enthusiastic rendition of "Very Nice," with the audience passionately joining in.

Seungkwan further elevated the energy by interacting closely with fans using the microphone.

Following their Glastonbury performance, Seventeen will continue their activities in Asia, including an appearance on Japan's Fuji TV 'FNS Music Festival' and fan meetings at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome on July 23 and 24.
