Katseye trained for this. Is it everything they dreamed?

The global girl group brings Beautiful Chaos to YouTube Theater and the Palladium.

Almost every Katseye performance begins the same way. The bass notes of the girl group's first single “Debut” echo through the venue, bright stage lights shine on its members and a screaming crowd nearly drowns out their vocals.

But roughly a week before heading out on their first official tour, their opening number was met with a few sparse claps.

Inside the Hollywood Palladium, the group — fresh-faced, high-spirited and dressed in their color-coordinated stagewear — held their final dress rehearsal last month. It was both the first time they'd run the show on a stage and the last time they would practice before the sold-out Beautiful Chaos tour.

Their final stop on the North American trek will be in Los Angeles, where they will play the YouTube Theater and the Palladium on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

The global girl group, made of Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Yoon-chae Jeung and Manon Bannerman, are in the midst of a rapid rise to fame. In a matter of months — since the release of their second EP, “Beautiful Chaos,” in June — they have continued to make each of their pop star dreams come true, with anything from the viral Gap campaign, a record-breaking crowd at Lollapalooza and two Grammy nominations.

Recognized for their hypnotic choreography, playful lyricism and fervent energy, the “Gnarly” singers went all out for dress rehearsal — involving an army of backup dancers and repeated blasts of confetti. ‘The group (excluding Bannerman, who was sick) sang nearly their entire discography, highlighting tracks like their TikTok viral “Touch” off their first EP “SIS (Soft Is Strong)” and the Grammy-nominated “Gabriela,” which included its elaborate salsa-esque dance break. They even debuted a new song, “Internet Girl,” which toys with their growing amount of online fame over a pop-punk production style.
