Group ATEEZ will be entering KSPO DOME (formerly known as the Gymnastics Arena), known as the ‘K-pop dream stage’.

On the 16th, 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’, contains the meaning that we all have our own light and let‘s go towards that light. Last year, ATEEZ, who performed in various regions including Seoul, Japan, North America, and Europe, organically incorporated these performances to deliver a message of support and encouragement to not be swayed by the gaze of others and to find one’s own light.

In particular, they performed at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, their first stadium stage in North America, for the tour, and became the first 4th generation K-pop artist and the second K-pop artist to perform at New York City Field, after BTS.

They were also the first K-pop boy group to enter Globe Life Field, a large-scale stadium in Arlington. They showed off their status as a ‘global trend group’ by gathering an audience of approximately 200,000 people through a total of 13 performances on the 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 Defense Arena in Paris, France, which can accommodate about 40,000 people.

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 proven their unrivaled popularity by entering K-POP Dome, 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 their global fans with an upgraded setlist, stage composition, and powerful performance.

The concert will be held at the K-POP Dome in the Olympic Park in Seoul on March 22nd and 23rd. Fan club pre-sales will open on January 31st at 8 PM through YES24, and general sales will open on February 3rd at 8 PM.

Meanwhile, ATEEZ will kick off their ‘Towards the Light: Will to Power in Europe’ on the 18th, performing 14 times in 9 countries starting from Lyon, France to Brussels, Belgium.
