ATEEZ boasts the status of 'Stadium Artist' through this North American tour. While the two-time performance in Los Angeles will be held 'BMO Stadium', their New York concert will be held, 'Citi Field' is famous for being performed by world-renowned musicians such as Paul McCartney, Beyonce, and Lady GaGa. In addition, Arlington's performance venue 'Globe Life Field' is a large stadium with a capacity of more than 40,000 people, adding meaning to ATEEZ's first K-pop boy group entry.
Recently, ATEEZ made headlines by climbing 18 spots compared to the previous week while listing on Billboard's main album chart 'Billboards 200 (July 13)' with its 10th mini album 'Golden Hour: Part 1(GOLDEN HOUR: Part 1)' for five consecutive weeks.
In addition, Billboard also praised the album, which was selected as the "20 Best K-Pop Albums of 2024" released by Billboard in the United States, saying that "'WORK' is one of the most eye-catching singles" and that the rest of the songs are also "Making music travel around the world through various emotions".
In particular, ATEEZ was the first K-pop boy group to perform on the stage of the 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' in April, and in June, it was the first K-pop artist to appear as a headliner at the 'MAWAZINE' festival, showing the true value of the 'Performance Master' with a rich set list and sensuous stage production. Global fans' expectations are rising as it is a North American tour that will be presented after being on the global festival stage.
ATEEZ will continue performing at Oakland 'Oakland Arena' on the 17th after launching a North American tour in Tacoma.
