KATSEYE Set to Bring K-Pop Energy to the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show
KATSEYE is heading for one of fashion’s most recognizable stages. The global girl group is set to perform at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Los Angeles, marking another major milestone in the group’s rapidly growing international career.
According to KATSEYE’s agency HYBE x Geffen, the group has officially been invited to perform at this year’s show. The event is scheduled to take place on Oct. 18 in Los Angeles, bringing together fashion, music, and some of the biggest names in entertainment.
For KATSEYE, the invitation comes at a particularly busy time. The group is currently promoting its latest music while also traveling for its ongoing world tour.
KATSEYE Joins an All-Women Performance Lineup
KATSEYE will be part of an all-women musical lineup at this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The performers announced alongside the group include Megan Thee Stallion, Tate McRae, and Megan Moroney.
The lineup gives KATSEYE an opportunity to share the stage with artists from different corners of the global pop landscape. It also places the group within an event that has historically used high-profile musical performances as a major part of its appeal.
The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been held annually since 1995 and has developed a reputation for combining elaborate fashion presentations with performances from internationally recognized musicians. Over the years, stars such as Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and TWICE have appeared at the event.
KATSEYE’s addition reflects the increasingly global nature of the group and its growing presence outside the traditional K-pop sphere.
Major Moment During the ‘Wild’ Era
The Victoria’s Secret performance arrives shortly after KATSEYE’s latest musical release. The group recently returned with its new EP, Wild, which features the title tracks “Animal” and “Hootie Frutti.”
The release represents another chapter in KATSEYE’s developing musical identity as the members continue to build an audience across different markets. Their hybrid positioning, bringing together the infrastructure of K-pop with a broader global-pop approach, has helped the group attract attention well beyond South Korea.
Performing at a major American fashion event could give the group another opportunity to introduce its music and performance style to a wider audience.
Group Continues Its ‘Wildworld’ Tour
Alongside its new music, KATSEYE is currently in the middle of its “Wildworld” world tour. The tour has kept the group busy with performances for fans in different markets as the members continue expanding their international footprint.
However, the current touring period has also seen changes to the group’s lineup. Members Sophia and Manon are currently on indefinite hiatus.
Their absence means the Victoria’s Secret performance will take place during a transitional period for the group. Despite that change, KATSEYE continues to move forward with its scheduled activities, including its upcoming appearance at the fashion show.
From Global Girl Group to Fashion-Show Performers
KATSEYE’s appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show represents another step in the group’s crossover journey. Since its formation, the group has been positioned as an international act rather than being confined to a single music market, making appearances across fashion, entertainment, and pop culture increasingly important to its profile.
The Victoria’s Secret stage has historically been a place where music and fashion meet, with performances often becoming some of the most memorable moments of the show. KATSEYE will now have the opportunity to add its own chapter to that history.
With the Oct. 18 event approaching, fans will be watching to see how the group adapts its high-energy performance style to the fashion-show setting. Coming amid the Wild era and the ongoing “Wildworld” tour, the appearance could become another defining moment in KATSEYE’s expanding global story.
