Pulse Events, the company known for bringing global music events to New York, has announced today the full artist lineup for Krazy Super Concert that will be held on Saturday, February 10, at BMO Stadium with Taeyang of BIGBANG as headliner as well as Lauv, (G)I-DLE, and ZEROBASEONE, and including previously announced acts aespa and The Boyz. The chart-topping groups and record-breaking artists are set to celebrate the cultural holiday, Lunar New Year.

General admission tickets and VIP packages will be available through pre-sale on Tuesday, January 9, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time via krazysuperconcert.com and public on-sale on Wednesday, January 10, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.

Taeyang is one of the most celebrated acts in Korean music history. This will be his first solo headlining performance in the U.S. in his illustrious career that spans nearly two decades. In early 2023, the icon released his long-awaited EP, Down To Earth, that included the lead single “VIBE (feat. Jimin of BTS)," a smash hit collaboration that reached No. 1 on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales Chart. His first project since 2017's WHITE NIGHT, this body of work remains one of his most popular among other standout collaborations featuring LISA of BLACKPINK, rapper Beenzino, and THEBLACKLABEL’s own Bryan Chase. The global superstar is an accomplished solo artist releasing four massively successful albums including two that have gone No. 1 on Billboard’s World Albums Chart and his global hit “Eyes, Nose, Lips,” which won “Song of the Year'' on all the major Korean award shows that year.

 Multi-Platinum chart-topping singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Lauv is one of today’s most intriguing storytellers. His stories continue to enchant audiences everywhere by converting the magic around him into generational anthems. After introducing himself with viral sensation “I Like Me Better,” he landed a global smash that tallied over 1.1 billion streams on Spotify, while reaching Top 10 chart positioning on Top 40 radio and Top 5 chart positioning on Hot AC radio in the US, and went sextuple-Platinum in the U.S. and platinum in twelve other countries. In 2020, his Gold-certified full-length debut album, ~how i'm feeling~, bowed in the Top 20 of the Billboard Top 200. Lauv kicked off 2022 with an entirely new chapter of music on his second full-length album, All 4 Nothing, and toured globally in 2023 in support of the body of work.

 It’s been a remarkable year for (G)I-DLE, with the release of their first English album, HEAT, which charted the first single off the hit album. The groups first U.S. digital single “I Do,” has charted on the “Pop Airplay” rankings on the Top 40 chart. The group also achieved their biggest milestone by debuting at No. 25 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart. The group debuted in May 2018 with their first mini-album I Am with their popular title track "LATATA.”  Since then, the five-member girl group with members Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi, and Shuhua has racked over 3 billion streams to date with all their singles combined. Their releases have broken into the Top 10 of South Korea's Circle Weekly Album Chart, as well as topping the Billboard World Albums Chart and Billboard 200.

With one of the most exciting debuts of the year, K-Pop rookie group ZEROBASEONE has become a significant force in the global music genre from their strong pre-debut popularity on the hit TV survival show, Mnet’s Boys Planet, bursting onto the scene with their high energy and groundbreaking streaming numbers when they debuted. The nine artists— Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Zhang Hao, Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae, Ricky, Kim Gyuvin, Park Gunwook, and Han Yujin were already international sensations before they realized it, reaching a career milestone of one million Instagram followers in just six days from launch and becoming the first K-Pop group to earn 780,000 pre-orders of a debut album in just five days, and hitting over one million pre-orders in 13 days.
