Marking their second consecutive appearance at Korea’s premier rock festival, the band reaffirmed their status as a rising group with a powerful live presence.
The festival was held from August 1 to 3 at Songdo Moonlight Festival Park in Incheon, South Korea, with CATCH THE YOUNG taking the stage on Day 1. They opened their set with their latest single, ‘Ideal Type’, blending retro-inspired rock riffs with playful synthesizer lines. Drawing the crowd into their performance with lively sing-alongs, they set the tone for the rest of the show.
Their set also featured tracks like ‘My Own Way’ and ‘Talking To Myself’, which highlighted the band’s emotional range and sonic versatility. Meanwhile, performances of ‘Dream It’ and ‘The Legend’ showcased their storytelling-driven sound and tight musical cohesion. Notably, their rendition of Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ brought the energy to an all-time high, as CATCH THE YOUNG added their own playful flair to the iconic song. They closed with their debut track, ‘YOUTH’, much to the fans’ delight, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of their journey so far.
CATCH THE YOUNG’s appearance at the 2025 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival underscored their growing stage presence and evolving artistry, establishing them as a band that lets their music and message speak for themselves. With an ability to captivate audiences through raw, heartfelt energy, the band has cemented its identity as one deeply committed to live performance.
Following their standout set at Pentaport, CATCH THE YOUNG will continue performing across major stages, including the Jeonju Ultimate Music Festival (JUMF) later this month and the Sound Planet Festival in September. Moving between campus festivals, solo concerts, and busking, the band continues to build its identity as a group of young people who are not only emotional and sincere but also full of life.
