ATEEZ
Yesterday, July 14, ATEEZ kicked off the North American leg of its “TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER” world tour.
After kicking off its new world tour “TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER” in Seoul last January, ATEEZ opened the North American leg of the tour on July 14 at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, United States. This 13-date American tour will stop in 10 cities across North America: Auckland on July 17, Los Angeles on July 20 and 21 (with guest Japanese group BE:FIRST), Phoenix on July 25, Arlington on July 28, Duluth on July 30 and 31, New York on August 3, Washington D.C. on August 6, Toronto on August 8, and Rosemont on August 10 and 11.
An American tour that made noise as soon as ticket pre-sales opened. Less than a day after the pre-sale, the cities of Duluth, Rosemont and Los Angeles added a new date. In addition, ATEEZ will perform this year in American stadiums, once again proving its growing popularity in North America. The group will play two nights at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles and City Field in New York, which has seen Paul McCartney, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga perform. Finally, Globe Life Field in Arlington, a stadium with a capacity of 40,000 people, will host a K-pop boys group for the first time: ATEEZ.
Recently, ATEEZ’s tenth mini album, “GOLDEN HOUR: PART.1“, landed on the US “BILLBOARD 200” chart for five consecutive weeks, breaking the record of the group’s previous album. Additionally, the album was selected as one of the “20 Best K-Pop Albums of 2024” according to Billboard. According to the latter: ““WORK” is one of the catchiest singles. The album takes you on a musical journey around the world and through various emotions.”
Meanwhile, ATEEZ became the first K-pop boys group to perform on the COACHELLA stage last April, but also became the first K-pop artist to perform at the MAWAZINE festival last June. Thus, the group appeared on the stage of major international festivals proving its performing talents through a rich set list and elaborate staging; talents that fans will have to meet during this North American tour.
Finally, ATEEZ will perform at the Oakland Arena in Oakland on July 17.
