ATEEZ Makes History as First K-Pop Group to Perform at La Défense Arena
On February 22, 2025, ATEEZ made history by becoming the first K-Pop group to hold a concert at the La Défense Arena in Paris, France, as part of their 2025 world tour titled 'TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER' in Europe. This venue, which can accommodate around 40,000 spectators, is the largest concert hall in Europe, and ATEEZ's successful solo concert here further solidified their status as a world-class artist.
This performance marked ATEEZ's fourth solo concert in Paris, following their previous world tours: 'The Expedition Tour' in 2019, 'THE FELLOWSHIP: BEGINNING OF THE END' in 2022, and 'THE FELLOWSHIP: BREAK THE WALL' in 2023. The enthusiastic support from local fans has been a testament to ATEEZ's unwavering global popularity.
Additionally, ATEEZ's mini-album 'GOLDEN HOUR: Part.1' released last year reached fifth place on the French Albums Chart, while 'GOLDEN HOUR: Part.2' secured the fourth position, showcasing their significant achievements in the local music scene.
Following successful concerts in London and Berlin, where they added extra shows due to high demand, ATEEZ returned to Paris with an upgraded musical experience that captivated local fans once again.
During the concert, ATEEZ presented a rich setlist filled with beloved hits, dazzling the audience with their renowned performance skills and impressive live vocals, even amidst dynamic choreography. The show featured vibrant lighting, special effects, and powerful sound, creating an immersive experience that combined visual spectacle with emotional resonance.
As they made history at La Défense Arena, ATEEZ expressed their gratitude to their fans, known as ATINY, stating, "It was an honor to share this beautiful night with you. We promise to repay your immense support and happiness, just as you have been a light in our lives, we will be a light for you too."
ATEEZ will conclude their 2025 European tour with a performance at the ING Arena in Brussels, Belgium, on February 25, 2025.
