The group ATEEZ will be entering KSPO DOME (formerly known as the Gymnastics Arena).
On the 15th, their agency KQ Entertainment announced through their official SNS that the 2025 ATEEZ World Tour ‘’TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER‘ Finale in Seoul’ will be held.
The title of this world tour, ‘TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER’ FINALE IN SEOUL’, contains the meaning that we all have our own light and let‘s go towards that light. ATEEZ, who performed in various regions including Seoul, Japan, North America, and Europe last year, organically combined these performances to deliver a message of support and encouragement to not be swayed by the gaze of others and to find their own light.
Through this tour, they performed at ‘BMO Stadium’ in Los Angeles, their first stadium stage in North America, and became the ‘first 4th generation K-pop artist’ and the second K-pop artist after BTS to perform at ‘Citi Field’ in New York. In addition, they became the first K-pop boy group to enter the large-scale stadium in Arlington, ‘Globe Life Field’, and showed off their status as a ‘global trend group’ by gathering an audience of approximately 200,000 people with a total of 13 performances on their North American tour.
In addition, ATEEZ, who headed to Europe with a tour of the same name, added performances in London and Berlin due to the explosive response from fans. They also garnered attention by being the first K-pop artist to hold a solo concert at the ‘La Défense Arena’ in Paris, France, which can accommodate approximately 40,000 audiences.
In this way, ATEEZ has been expanding the scale of their stage at a frightening pace through their world tour since last year, and through this Seoul finale concert, they have once again proven their unrivaled popularity by entering the KSPO DOME (formerly the Gymnastics Arena), which is considered a dream stage for many artists.
Approximately 1 year and 2 months after starting their 2024 world tour, they will decorate the finale in Seoul, where it all began, and they plan to repay the enthusiastic support of global fans with an upgraded setlist, stage composition, and powerful performance.
The 2025 ATEEZ World Tour ‘Towards the Light: Will to Power‘ Finale in Seoul’ will be held on March 22nd and 23rd. It will be held at the KSPO DOME (former Gymnastics Arena) in Seoul Olympic Park, and fan club pre-sale tickets will open on January 31 at 8 PM through YES24, and general sales will open on February 3 at 8 PM.
