In April, Aespa made their debut US live performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California.

“This is actually our very first time performing in such...in front of such a large audience and we are so happy to be here and we are ready to party,” Giselle told the audience.

Recently, Aespa and SM Entertainment signed a global partnership with Warner Records.
