The group ATEEZ has entered La Défense Arena, becoming the first K-pop artist to do so.
ATEEZ successfully completed their performance for the 2025 World Tour 'TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER' IN EUROPE at La Défense Arena in Paris, France, on the 22nd (local time).
La Défense Arena is the largest concert hall in Europe, accommodating approximately 40,000 spectators. ATEEZ achieved the remarkable feat of hosting a solo concert here, proving their unique presence as a 'world-class artist' once again.
ATEEZ's solo concert in Paris marks the fourth in their series, following the 2019 World Tour 'The Expedition Tour,' the 2022 'THE FELLOWSHIP: BEGINNING OF THE END,' and the 2023 'THE FELLOWSHIP: BREAK THE WALL.' This is a result supported by the enthusiastic backing and support of local fans, highlighting ATEEZ's unwavering global popularity.
Previously, the mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR: Part.1,' released last year by ATEEZ, ranked 5th on the 'Top Albums Chart' through the French National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (SNEP), while their mini album 'GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2' ranked 4th, achieving significant results on local music charts.
With the enthusiastic response from fans, ATEEZ confirmed their enhanced global status by successfully completing concerts in London, UK, and Berlin, Germany. In Paris, where they returned after about a year, they captivated local fans once again with upgraded music and performances.
On this day, ATEEZ showcased a rich setlist composed of beloved hits, brilliantly painting the night in Paris. They displayed their undeniable prowess as a 'performance mastery group' while demonstrating unwavering live performance skills amid dynamic group choreography, captivating both eyes and ears. Furthermore, the colorful lights, various special effects, and grand sound combined to enhance audience immersion, creating a well-made performance that captured both visual enjoyment and emotional impact.
As ATEEZ set yet another record at La Défense Arena, receiving the warmest cheers, they expressed their sentiments at the end of the performance: "It was an honor to share this beautiful night with ATINY (official fandom name) here. We will certainly repay the great support and happiness you have sent us, and just as you have become a ray of light in our lives, we will also become your light."
ATEEZ will conclude their 2025 European tour 'TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER' IN EUROPE on the 25th at ING Arena in Brussels, Belgium.
