One year ago today, ATEEZ made history as the First K-pop Boy Group to perform at Coachella
According to NYLON, ATEEZ made their debut during a primetime slot on the festival’s Sahara stage, where they played a 50-minute, light- and laser-filled show to a screaming crowd of ATINYs that spilled outside the edges of the tent.
Billboard named ATEEZ performance as one of the Best Moments from Coachella Day 1 as the final performers of the night on the Sahara stage with their impeccably precise choreography to go with their 10-song setlist of guitar-heavy pop smashes.
According to NME, ATEEZ made their bid for future greatness with their debut Coachella stage, with performances shot through with ferocious energy and suggested that their history-making relationship with Coachella likely won’t end at becoming the first male K-pop act to take part in the festival.
Vanity Fair France recognised ATEEZ as one of the artists who saved Coachella, describing their performance as a true sensation that electrified the festival, broke boundaries, and brought the spirit of K-pop to an entirely new audience.
SBS News reported that ATEEZ successfully completed their Coachella performances and received favourable reviews, mentioning their solid live performance. KBS News highlighted the incorporation of traditional Korean elements in their performance, showing the beauty of Korea to an overseas audience.
According to LA Times, ATEEZ put on an explosive set to an audience where many were likely seeing them live for the first time - singing, rapping and dancing with a ferocity and skill that showed the work they put in to get there and proof that it's possible to headline one day, while leading a new class of Korean acts working toward it.
Times of India reported that while ATEEZ is celebrated for their dynamic and creative choreography, it's their exceptional live vocals that truly set them apart. Throughout the entirety of their Coachella set, the members delivered an excellent performance, maintaining stable vocals amidst the high-octane dance routines.
According to Billboard Korea Biographical Dictionary, ATEEZ's 2024 Coachella stage left a lasting impression. Both the live audience and those watching the online broadcast, regardless of whether they were fans, couldn't help but be awed by their stage energy, earning them widespread applause.
