AKP STAFF

The group ATEEZ performed as headliners at the 'MAWAZINE' Festival in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, on the 23rd (local time). They took to the main stage, 'OLM SOUISSI', for approximately one hour.

'MAWAZINE', started in 2001 and now in its 19th year, is a renowned music festival that attracts over 2.5 million attendees annually. Notably, ATEEZ was invited as the 'first K-pop artist' to perform.

ATEEZ opened their performance with a spectacular flag routine, kicking off with the song 'WIN' from their first full album 'TREASURE EP.FIN : All To Action', signaling the start of their journey on stage.

Their choreography, featuring a flag emblazoned with 'ATEEZ', immediately captivated the audience. The lyrics, "Our ship only goes one way" and "Just go, there's a way ahead," matched their confident stage presence. They further energized the crowd with explosive performances of 'Say My Name' and 'Guerrilla', showcasing their signature powerful energy and captivating stage presence.

Greeting the audience for the first time, ATEEZ shared, "Morocco is very special to us. We filmed the music video for our debut song in the Sahara Desert here, so it feels like coming home." They added, "We want to make today an unforgettable day."

They then elevated the atmosphere with their debut song 'Pirate King', followed by a diverse setlist including 'Answer', 'ARRIBA', and 'DJANGO', offering a rich mix of genres and impressive stage effects that delighted all the senses.

In particular, during 'Good Lil Boy' and 'WAVE', ATEEZ roamed the stage freely, interacting closely with the audience, demonstrating their headliner-worthy stage presence. 


They also delivered passionate and flawless performances of 'Crazy Form' and 'I’m The One', further solidifying their reputation as 'artists you can trust to deliver'.

Before their final performance, ATEEZ expressed their heartfelt thanks, saying, "We are truly grateful to ATINY and everyone who came to see us. We are happy to return to the place where we started and thank you for welcoming us with such passion. We will never forget this."

They concluded with the title track 'WORK' from their 10th mini album, impressing with groovy choreography and rhythmic sensibility, and ended the show with a bang with the energetic and vibrant 'BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS)'.

ATEEZ will next appear at Nihon TV's ‘BEAT AX Vol.4’, held on the 28th and 29th at Makuhari Messe in Japan.
