The 7-member girl group XG appeared on the red carpet of the American Music Awards on May 25, becoming the first solo Japanese artist to do so. The invitation recognized their Coachella performance and Billboard 200 chart entry. They also commented on their ongoing world tour.
The group received an invitation after their Coachella headlining set and their first full album 'THE CORE - 核' entering the Billboard 200 top 100. On the red carpet, members wore individual dresses and told local media they were honored to participate. XG is currently on their second world tour, which includes six North American dates. They will also throw a ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium on May 31 and perform at London's Capital's Summertime Ball on June 6.
