&TEAM has wrapped its first series of activities in the United States, centered on performances in Los Angeles in August. The group performed at the GRAMMY Museum and KCON LA 2026.

The GRAMMY Museum event, "Global Spin Live: &TEAM," sold out immediately. On August 12, the group performed five songs for an audience of 200, including "Go in blind (Korean ver.)" and "Deer Hunter (Korean ver.)." The museum's moderator, Emily Mei, stated it was "maybe the best performance I've ever seen." The full talk and performance will be posted on the GRAMMY Museum's official YouTube channel.

At KCON LA 2026 on August 14, &TEAM performed six songs on the ARTIST STAGE, followed by "Rush" and "Deer Hunter (Korean ver.)" on the M COUNTDOWN stage at Crypto.com Arena.

During the event, members EJ and NICHOLAS shared that they had come to LA four years ago to see a BTS concert, imagining if they could ever perform there themselves. The group also collaborated with HYBE's Latin pop group SANTOS BRAVOS for a special stage, performing BTS's "2.0" and "Permission to Dance."

Billboard covered the KCON performance with an article titled "&TEAM Proved Why They're Performance Monsters," noting their synchronized choreography. Music media outlet InMusic called the collaboration with SANTOS BRAVOS "one of Friday's standout moments."

Outside of formal stages, &TEAM met fans at a pop-up event at the hello82 LA store, where over 1,000 fans lined up. The group also made a surprise appearance at a "Random Play Dance" street event on August 13, dancing to their own songs and other K-pop tracks with attendees.

The group's third EP, 'We on Fire,' released in April, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 52, the highest position for a Japanese boy group.

&TEAM continues its Asian tour before a Korean comeback with the mini-album 'Mark on Me' on September 8. The group will hold its first solo dome concerts in Japan and South Korea later this year.
