ATEEZ - COACHELLA
After attracting attention during the first weekend of Coachella, ATEEZ demonstrated its title as “Leader of the Fourth Generation” once again.
On April 19 (PST), ATEEZ performed a second time on the Sahara stage of Coachella, the largest festival in the United States. After a memorable first performance on April 12, ATEEZ members (HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, JONGHO) came back stronger than ever to present a passionate show that warmed up the burning Coachella audience. A performance that attracted a large number of festival-goers and artists, including Colombian singer J BALVIN and American rapper BLXST, showing the international popularity of ATEEZ.
For 50 minutes, the group showed the diversity of its discography through unique performances and perfectly crafted stage production. It was with the famous “Say my name” and “HALA HALA” that this second show opened before setting the stage on fire with “Guerilla (flag version)”, “Crazy form” and “Rocky” – fiery performances marked by choreographies’ intensity and the members’ energy.
Subsequently, ATEEZ highlighted South Korean culture with “The real (흥:興 Ver.)“. The group captivated the audience’s ears by adding traditional instruments like the kkwaenggwari, drum, janggu, taepyeongso and gong, as well as various dialects reflecting the diversity of the country. Additionally, ATEEZ captain HONGJOONG took this moment to give some hints about an upcoming comeback by writing on his fan “Golden Hour”. A new clue which adds to those scattered at Coachella over the last two weeks.
ATEEZ continued its set by highlighting the group’s storytelling with “Arriba” and “Django“. Indeed, in a Western atmosphere, the members presented a powerful performance constructed like a short film. A short film which changed the atmosphere with the highly anticipated “Bouncy (K-hot chilli peppers)” and “Wonderland (Symphony No. 9 “From the new world”)” which captivated the public and ATINYs (fandom name). The scenography marked the audience for its numerous visual effects, and the vocal prowess of the members, particularly those of JONGHO, left festival-goers and online spectators speechless.
After 10 intense and unforgettable songs, the group’s members thanked the festival-goers and ATINYs with many emotions announcing at the same time the return of the group on tour for this summer.
“We had a truly incredible experience over the last two weeks. Thanks to Coachella, we felt there were no boundaries in music. Thank you for creating unforgettable memories for us.” – HONGJOONG
“Thanks to ATINYs, ATEEZ was able to be present at Coachella. I am sincerely grateful to you.” – SAN
Therefore, ATEEZ managed to create a legendary scene and achieve a career milestone by becoming the first K-pop male group to perform at Coachella. The group has thus attracted the attention of music fans worldwide and placed themselves as “the artist with the most powerful performance”.
Finally, on April 20, ATEEZ will throw out the first ball of the baseball match between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets game. The match will be broadcast on the American channel Fox Sports at 1:05 p.m. (PST).
