Tomorrow X Together’s festival set also featured a live band, helping bring the five-piece’s songs to life. They kicked off the performance with their recent title track ‘Good Boy Gone Bad’, before launching into the ‘The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE’ song ‘Frost’.

Shortly after, the group invited rapper iann dior on stage with them to perform their recent collaboration, the English-language single ‘Valley Of Lies’. It was only the second time the two acts had performed the track together, following an appearance by dior at the band’s second LA concert last weekend (July 24).

The group released their latest EP ‘minisode 2: Thursday’s Child’ in May.
