aespa will hold the '2025 aespa LIVE TOUR -SYNK : aeXIS LINE' at the KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Seoul, from the 29th to the 31st, kicking off their third world tour. With global fans' expectations rising, we introduce some points to enjoy the concert even more.
■ Newly drawn Line, at the center stands aespa
In March, aespa received praise for maximizing immersion by incorporating large LEDs, rotating turntable sets, lifts, stunning lighting kinetics, pyrotechnics that change with the mood of the songs, confetti, upforge, silver rain, and various special effects in the concept of a multiverse expanded worldview at their encore concert.
This concert will also be structured with sequences and storytelling that highlight aespa's unique color. In particular, 'aeXIS LINE' is a title inspired by 'Axis Line,' meaning 'center axis,' and aespa has prepared stage devices that visually embody a more empowered performance and confident messages, with notable details in the stage sets that correspond to each song, featuring uplifting elements installed on the main stage and protruding stage, aiming to captivate the audience with its overwhelming scale.
■ Spoiler alert! Meeting 'Rich Man' for the first time at 'aeXIS LINE'
With aespa's new mini-album 'Rich Man' set to be released a week before the concert, various unreleased new song stages will be unveiled, including the title track 'Rich Man.' Notably, aespa has announced that the new album will present a clearer individuality and musical color, along with a powerful message: "I am enough as I am. I am a 'Rich Man'," increasing anticipation for the sixth mini-album that will be unveiled for the first time during this performance.
Additionally, a solo stage showcasing the four distinct personalities will be prepared for this performance. aespa's solo songs, such as 'UP (KARINA Solo),' Dopamine (GISELLE Solo), Bored! (NINGNING Solo), and Spark (WINTER Solo), which were introduced during their second standalone concert, achieved top rankings in major music charts, generating significant popularity, so the new solo songs to be unveiled this time are also worth paying attention to.
■ Enhanced flavor with band live performance 'Soe Mat'
aespa will fill the core stage composition of this concert with a band live performance, offering a vibrant 'Soe Mat' stage. Drawing on experiences from various global large festivals, including 'SUMMER SONIC 2025' held in Tokyo, Japan, expectations are high for aespa's performance, enhancing the synergy and completeness of the band session.
Having announced an upgraded Seoul concert, aespa is set to continue an active global tour with a total of 15 shows, including Fukuoka on Oct. 4-5, Tokyo on 11-12, Aichi on 18-19, Tokyo again on Nov. 8-9, Bangkok at Impact Arena on 15-16, and Osaka Castle Hall on 26-27, with arenas accommodating over 10,000 people.
