ATEEZ proved their professionalism and star power as they dominated the stage at Japan's biggest summer festival, 'Summer Sonic 2024.'
On August 17-18, ATEEZ successfully completed their performances at 'Summer Sonic 2024' in Osaka and Tokyo. The group made a grand entrance, performing alongside a live band that set the stage alight. As leader Hongjoong commanded the stage with fiery energy, the combination of vibrant flags and powerful band sounds made for an unforgettable opening. They followed up with electrifying performances of "Guerrilla" and "Say My Name," captivating the audience from the start.
Expressing their excitement, ATEEZ said, "We are finally here at 'Summer Sonic.' It's an incredible honor to perform at such a prestigious global festival alongside so many amazing artists, and to be in front of an audience with such fantastic energy."
ATEEZ added a special touch to their set by performing "NOT OKAY," the title track of their third Japanese single, and "ROCKY (Boxers Ver.)," from their second Japanese mini-album BEYOND: ZERO, which were well-received by the local fans. The audience responded with enthusiastic sing-alongs, creating a powerful connection between the group and the crowd.
The group also delivered a powerful performance of "WORK," the title track of their 10th mini-album GOLDEN HOUR: Part.1, which recently spent seven consecutive weeks on the U.S. Billboard 200, setting a new record for the group. Their seamless blend of vocal prowess and dynamic choreography demonstrated ATEEZ's unparalleled stage presence. As the concert reached its peak, ATEEZ cooled things down with refreshing performances of "WAVE" and "Dreamers," shifting the atmosphere to a more relaxed and breezy vibe.
As they approached the end of their set, ATEEZ expressed their gratitude, saying, "Time flew by so quickly. We were a bit nervous since it was our first 'Summer Sonic,' but it felt like we just had fun with all of you. We are so happy to have enjoyed this together."
The two-day performance, which filled the venue with deafening cheers and felt like a solo concert, was a testament to ATEEZ's growing global influence. Following their impressive performances at major international festivals like the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Mawazine, ATEEZ's extensive experience from their world tours was on full display, captivating the audience entirely.
Next, ATEEZ is set to perform at 'WATERBOMB 2024 LOS ANGELES' on September 28-29 at the Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles. Before that, they will host their first fan meeting in Japan, 'ATINY’S VOYAGE: FROM A TO Z,' on August 21-22 in Tokyo and August 27-28 in Osaka.
