Red Velvet, one of K-pop's top girl groups, is set to perform their first-ever headline shows in the UK and Europe in May and June.

Following their performance in Amsterdam, Red Velvet will travel to Barcelona, Spain for their highly-anticipated set at the Primavera Sound Barcelona festival on June 1. Red Velvet’s London show will be bookended by the group’s second appearance at the Primavera Sound Madrid festival on 8 June.

Not only are they known for their electrifying live performances, but Red Velvet also boasts one of the most multifaceted discographies in K-pop. Combining pop, R&B, electronic, hip-hop, classical, and jazz influences, the group has created a sound that is entirely their own.

Red Velvet has been captivating audiences since their debut in 2014 with their unique sound and chart-topping hits such as "Psycho," "Bad Boy," "Peek-A-Boo," "Russian Roulette," and more. Their 2019 album "The ReVe Festival: Finale" made history as the first album by a female K-pop group to reach the top spot on the iTunes Top Albums Chart in 44 countries, while its lead single "Psycho" claimed the No. 1 position on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart.

Red Velvet had a remarkable year in 2022, starting with their debut UK performance as headliners at MIK Festival in London, followed by the release of their eighth EP "The ReVe Festival 2022 - Birthday," which set a new record by selling over 710,000 copies in pre-orders alone and topping the iTunes Top Albums chart in 44 countries. Their album "The ReVe Festival 2022 - Feel My Rhythm" also garnered high praise from Pitchfork as the highest-rated album by a K-Pop girl group.
