For its Paris “debut“, KATSEYE sets the Accor Arena on fire.
On September 9th, KATSEYE took the stage at the Accor Arena as part of its “WILDWORLD TOUR“. Despite the absence of SOPHIA and MANON, DANIELA, LARA, MEGAN, and YOONCHAE treated the Parisian audience to an evening filled with energy and emotion. Invited by Live Nation France, KSTATION TV had the opportunity to attend this debut concert in Paris.
Even before the four members stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere inside the Accor Arena set the tone. The highly energetic crowd first welcomed FILIZ, who opened the show. Then, the lights gradually dimmed and anticipation built in the venue; KATSEYE’s Paris concert was about to begin.
From the very first seconds, the group set the pace with “Hootie frutti“, followed by “Internet girl“, “That Way“, “Touch“, and “Mean girls“. On stage, DANIELA, LARA, MEGAN, and YOONCHAE executed their choreography with unwavering energy. Despite the absence of SOPHIA and MANON, the show lost none of its intensity. On the contrary, the four members seemed determined to give Parisian EYEKONS (fandom name) a night to remember.
“Your energy is already incredible.” – MEGAN
It was a memorable evening for fans, just as YOONCHAE had promised: “A lot is happening tonight, so stay ready.” That promise was quickly fulfilled by DANIELA, who chose a fan to dance the chorus of the hit song “Gabriela” with her, a moment of connection that drew an immediate reaction from the crowd.
These spontaneous moments gave the concert a special dimension. KATSEYE frequently bridged the gap between the stage and the pit, with the members constantly interacting with its fans. In a venue the size of the Accor Arena, this sense of closeness plays a major role in the evening’s atmosphere.
A prime example is the performance of “Time lapse“, during which the members head down into the heart of the standing area to sing and meet their fans up close. It is a moment that perfectly illustrates the group’s desire to make the fans a genuine part of the show.
But before that, the members present a unique version of “Gabriela“, introduced by a remarkable dance solo from DANIELA that recreates the staging of their Coachella performance. The group then moves straight into “Pinky up“, singing along with the crowd, before making way for MEGAN’s dance solo, which once again showcases the full extent of her talents.
The concert continues with “Animal“, “Tonight I might“, and “I’m pretty“. For this last song, the audience is once again invited to sing along with the group. Then, the mood shifts with LARA. The singer performs “Unloveu“, a song she wrote herself. After the high energy of the previous performances, this moment offers a genuine change of pace within the concert. Alone with just her voice and the song’s emotion, LARA manages to captivate the entire venue before being joined by the other members. Following this more intimate interlude, KATSEYE gradually picks up the tempo again with “My way” and “Bel air“, which introduces a dance solo by YOONCHAE, before wrapping up with “M.I.A.“
As the concert nears its end, the members of KATSEYE aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to the Paris fans. They return with their debut single, “Debut,” followed by a special performance of “Iconic by mistake“. To close out the evening, the group thanks its fans one last time for their presence and support before performing “Gnarly“, an explosive final number that allows the four members to end the concert on a high-energy note.
“Thank you for being here; you’re making this an exceptional night. You’re the loudest crowd we’ve ever had.” In French: “Kisses (bisous).” – DANIELA
“We love coming to Paris; we’ll definitely be back. I love you.” – MEGAN
“Thank you for making this dream come true; I love Paris and hope to come back.” – LARA
“Your energy is amazing; thank you for tonight.” – YOONCHAE
To conclude, the highlights of this concert were the intense energy of the fans at the Accor Arena and KATSEYE’s ability to forge a genuine connection with their audience. With a mix of spectacular performances, solos, acoustic moments, and fan interactions, DANIELA, LARA, MEGAN, and YOONCHAE succeeded in making this first Paris show a truly memorable evening for EYEKONS.
Finally, KATSEYE will continue its tour on September 22 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., USA.
