In under a year since hitting the scene, CORTIS has earned a No. 3 debut on the Billboard 200, a place on Billboard‘s 21 Under 21, a Lollapalooza set, a soundtrack single for the Stephen Curry–produced animated film GOAT, a halftime performance at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, collaborations with Juicy J and Teezo Touchdown, and are now hitting the U.S. on their first tour.

On Thursday (Aug. 6), the quintet consisting of Martin, Juhoon, James, Seonghyeon and Keonho came to the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden for its first-ever solo concert in the States. The show proved CORTIS could live up to that already-stacked résumé while pointing to greater promise of what’s to come next for such promising artists.
