NMIXX Makes History at Viña del Mar Festival and Releases New Track 'TIC TIC'

K-pop group NMIXX is set to release their new single on the 26th, following their historic appearance at the Viña del Mar Festival.

On February 25th, NMIXX made a groundbreaking appearance at the 2026 Festival de Viña del Mar, held at the Quinta Vergara Amphitheater in Chile. As the first K-pop artists to be invited to this prestigious Latin American festival, which boasts over 60 years of history, NMIXX delivered a passionate performance in front of a massive audience.

Expressing their excitement, NMIXX stated, "In 2025, we attended the festival as guests, but this year, it's an honor to perform as artists." They captivated the crowd with performances of their hit songs like 'O.O', 'DASH', 'Love Me Like This', and 'Run For Roses', while engaging with fans in the local language.

Particularly, their performances of 'Soñar (Spanish Ver.)', 'DICE' with the chant "Vamos amigos", and 'RICO', which features Latin pop sounds with Spanish lyrics, thrilled the audience. A surprise collaboration with local artists Katteyes and Kidd Voodoo on 'Ponte Lokita' added to the excitement. The highlight was their performance of the new track 'TIC TIC (Feat. Pabllo Vittar)', first unveiled at the Brazilian Carnival in São Paulo on February 16th.

With approximately 2 million attendees at the São Paulo Carnival and their historic performance at the Viña del Mar Festival, NMIXX continues to energize iconic Latin American festivals. They are set to officially release 'TIC TIC (Feat. Pabllo Vittar)' on the 26th. This marks their second collaboration with Brazilian artist Pabllo Vittar, following last year's 'MEXE'. The track features a fast-paced rhythm and an addictive chorus, embodying the 'MIXX POP' genre. It conveys a message of enjoying life without regrets in a fast-paced world, with member Lily contributing to the lyrics.

Ahead of the release, the members shared through JYP Entertainment, "We are excited to connect with more fans through 'TIC TIC (Feat. Pabllo Vittar)'.
