The K-pop boy group ATEEZ made history by being the first to take over the Coachella stage.
ATEEZ successfully wrapped up their second performance at America’s largest music festival, Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (hereafter Coachella), on the 19th, following their first performance on the 12th.
On their second Coachella performance day, ATEEZ kicked things off by shouting, “We are back Coachella!” They then took the audience by storm with passionate performances of “Say My Name” and “HALA HALA,” earning a heated response from the crowd.
They continued to rock the stage with diverse performances of “Guerrilla (Flag Version),” “Crazy Form,” “ROCKY,” and “The Real.” In particular, their performance of “Crazy Form,” the title track from their second album that topped the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, showcased an intense performance that brought the crowd to a fever pitch.
Furthermore, their rendition of “ROCKY” captured the audience’s attention as they became boxers adorned in red robes and championship belts, showcasing a captivating choreography brimming with punch-throwing movements.
Their rendition of “The Real” mesmerized the audience with its infusion of traditional Korean cultural elements, highlighted by enchanting sounds of conventional instruments and endearing Korean lyrics like “This is what real coolness is.” ATEEZ showcased the epitome of K-performance, with member Hongjoong adding a unique flair by wielding a fan adorned with the phrase “Golden Hour.”
The performances of “ARRIBA” and “DJANGO” were enhanced by props evoking a Western atmosphere. In “ARRIBA,” the band members took turns performing solo, amplifying the entertainment factor. Meanwhile, “DJANGO” featured a striking moment where member Yunho performed atop a table, accentuating the lyrics “I’m a lonely gunslinger, bang bang bang bang,” leaving a lasting impression.
At the end of their performance, ATEEZ expressed their gratitude, saying, “We’ve had an amazing experience these past two weeks. We’ve felt that there are no boundaries in music through Coachella. Thank you for creating unforgettable memories with us.” They also expressed deep affection for their fans: “It’s thanks to our fans that ATEEZ could stand on the Coachella stage. We sincerely thank our ATINY (official fandom name).”
Additionally, with “BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS),” they brought a unique and fiery flavor to the stage, infusing the venue with boundless energy. Finally, their rendition of “WONDERLAND (Symphony No.9 “From The Wonderland”),” enhanced by Dvorak’s Symphony No.9, showcased member Jongho’s remarkable vocal prowess with his soaring high notes, sending thrilling chills down the audience’s spine.
As soon as ATEEZ took the stage at Coachella, many musicians from the festival lineup, including Colombian artist J Balvin and American rapper Blxst, came to witness their performance, showing ATEEZ’s global appeal.
