ATTEEZ Coachella FULL CONCERT REACTION

Have you checked out their Outlaw album yet? The instrumental that opened it was Wake Up and I also highly suggest Dune. Your electronic soul would be satisfied! The production and vocals in those are insane.

oh dang. i joined the patreon specifically for this and see you watched week 1. rip lmao oh well

If you have time it would be amazing for you to check out the Ateez Lee Mujin Service episodes. 5 Members: Jongho, Hongjoong, San, Seonghwa, and Yunho, all have Lee Mujin Service episodes, it would be a great way to hear some of their voices on a more individual basis. Also, Jongho and San have a duet cover of IUs Dear Name that is absolutely beautiful.

Omg Tim, thank you so much for reacting to Coachella and specifically to this clean recording of Weekend 1! (yes, definitely worth using the X recording for this! Coachella is pretty intense about not letting people reupload their official stream on youtube, so that's why you can only find fancams with the less-good audio quality on yt). I have so much to say, but again, just first want to really, really thank you for the incredibly enjoyable reaction you gave us here for this historic performance -- ATEEZ being the first boy group in kpop history to perform Coachella and raising the bar SO FREAKING HIGH that if the kpop fandom were honest, they'd admit has transcended the entire freaking genre and gone into some kind of Rock n Roll Hall of Fame immortal performance level of epicness and virtuosity in this highest-possible-stakes performance. Someone else mentioned the weekend 2 full stream where they have different outfits and shine in a different way (waaaay more comfortable now that they'd done it once and thoroughly vindicated/done justice to themselves and all of kpop/South Korea proud in weekend 1. Plus, no sandstorm or light/camera work failures during weekend 2!), so if you do end up doing deeper dives and breakdowns of some of the songs, you may want to take a look at that. Weekend 2's WONDERLAND does indeed have a very memorable ending moment for Seonghwa where you get a surprise reminder (because ATEEZ are such heroes/pros/freaking demigods that they make you FORGET that it's not a normal level of athleticism that lets you dance THAT HARD for 45 minutes straight *while singing live* and having to support your diaphragm/all the things on top of the nonstop dancing) of HOW HARD that particular, insane, adrenaline rush of a set was on the eight spectacular, committed, going-for-broke geniuses who were out there putting on that show for us. It truly was unforgettable/inimitable by anyone else, and who knows when ATEEZ will have the occassion to demand this level of epicness and exertion from themselves again. But you are absolutely right that (just as you'll see in the absolute crucible of pain that was Kingdom for ATEEZ), our ATEEZ are diamonds who amazingly don't break under this kind of pulverizing pressure--they just rise higher, and the muses always reward them for it. Jongho, as you pointed out, can do things that most singers on Broadway would struggle to do (especially while dancing that hard! He may hit the choreo with slightly less intensity than the others but it's not because he doesn't have the same fire in his soul and athleticism (omg, HAVE YOU SEEN HOW STRONG JONGHO IS PHYSICALLY? He can literally RIP APPLES OPEN WITH HIS BARE HANDS, and do it while singing high notes beautifully with perfect pitch~ You should watch some of those early viral videos of his tearing apart apples while singing! XD), but because he takes his role of delivering Broadway-caliber, amazingly on-pitch for live singing while dancing vocals to make the best use of those amazing vocal highlight moments/lines that you rightly pointed out EDENARY (ATEEZ's dedicated, small songwriting group that's written all their songs. Hongjoong is a part of EDENARY/works closely with them on every album to do the song production. btw!) has custom crafted to let him and his extraordinary voice shine in the midst of this kpop industry of canned vocals. Oh man, I actually took notes for what I wanted to say in response to your awesome reactions, but this is getting too long, so just briefly: - Thank you for all the technical insights regarding Jongho's slides/the tension that vocal slides create in music, the interestingly laid-back feel that 6/8 time signature creates in our playful and fun track ARRIBA, how unspeakably astounding it is that Jongho "sits up there" in those notes Bflat/C5 and above and just eats those notes with relish while most professional opera and Broadway singers are working so hard just to find those notes in their voices in college. - Love all your love for EXPLOSIVE, EPIC MINGI (yes, he REALLY shined during Coachella -- this is when you can see what that overwhelming Leo energy of his can do on a WORLD STAGE. Like, especially when you see the contrast with non-world-class bands taking big, high-pressure and visibility stages like Coachella (sorry, but without a shred of bias/malice on my part, a lot of the other kpop bands who've played Coachella clearly crumble/shrink on this stage instead of EXPLODE like ATEEZ and especially our lion-heart Mingi, our epic captain Hongjoong, San the Beast, Seonghwa the God of Drama, and freaking psycho epic vocal god Jongho (and really all of ATEEZ) did here in this incredibly nerve-wracking first weekend), what ATEEZ did with presence, charisma, joy and that "lightning in a bottle" performance/energy/synergy in this concert is just truly, truly next-level. They made it feel so good and right and enjoyable/inevitable too (That's a talent!) that until you watch some of the other kpop bands at Coachella (for example, the girl band who performed the next night at Coachella 2024, or the 4th gen boy group who performed there the following year), you almost don't/can't realize how incredible what they achieved here was, they just made it look SO EASY. - The rock band -- believe it or not, the amazing rock band who performed all the backing music live for ChellaTEEZ had never performed with ATEEZ before this weekend! In fact, every, single song was arranged anew specifically for a rock band backing by the spectacular EDENARY (ATEEZ's dedicated songwriting group). What you need to understand about what this opportunity was for not just ATEEZ but KQ, the tiny indie agency that had literally never created an idol group before ATEEZ (and similarly, the randomly came-together group of songwriters under the head songwriter EDEN who was kind of thrown into becoming ATEEZ's incredible and united songwriting force/author and gives them that signature melodic and epic flavor to their music that makes their songs instantly recognizable no matter what genre they constantly shift and dabble in), are all so engaged with and excited by the art/music they and ATEEZ are experimentally creating and discovering on this journey that is new to all of them. Reaching an insane milestone like this history-making Coachella performance was such a thrill for all of them, they all brought their absolute A-game to every part of this show (their dance crew and choreographers BBtrippin, the amazing stage direction and art department who brought out the Korean dancing lines and flags as well as THE ANIMATRONIC KRAKEN for Wonderland, the whole amazing bar set for ARRIBA that debuted here at Coachella, btw -- it's later integrated into their Towards the Light concert tour (which is another amazing, virtuosic work of live performance by ATEEZ you should check out!)). Also, how cool is it that they--a kpop idol band--took a moment to feature and give mini solos to all the rock band members in the midst of ARRIBA? This may be common in the west, but I don't think any kpop band has ever done such a thing/highlighted anyone outside the idols onstage. This is one of the many ways ATEEZ and KQ show how they are truly great collaborators and artists who respect other artists, whether above or below them. A courtesy they CERTAINLY never received from the "more prestigious" Big4 agency bands they interacted with, especially in their early and even middle days like here at Coachella. - Just wanted to note that you're right -- San is, indeed, a trained martial artist (a third-degree black belt in taekwondo, in fact! His father runs a taekwondo dojo so Sannie has trained since he was little). You can see him do a beautiful roundhouse kick on camera in the BOUNCY music video~ Okay, enough from me! Just really, really wanted to thank you again for this reaction and hope you'll do some deeper dives/breakdowns of some of the songs (Coachella's official youtube channel has Guerilla up, so you can do that one. But check out the other commenter's full Weekend 2 vid as well as feel free to react to this vid again too!). Especially that sandstorm that you can VISIBLY see throwing dust/sand/dry desert air into their faces throughout this full 45-minute set... go back and watch Jongho close his eyes and basically pray for just a split second before he went for his B5 *at the end* of that freaking set... Just-- MIRACULOUS. ATEEZ is truly something beyond, and I'll never understand how they aren't more admired and renowned because they are THE REAL DEAL.

ATEEZ stage presence is intense! In press - including this performance - the word I most often see used to describe them on stage is Electrifying. You are right - Mingi is a BEAST on stage. With different camera work you can really see the Demon Line (Hongjoong Seonghwa San) get pretty insane when they perform live too. They all really light up on stage! I will always mourn the camera work that could have been if it hadn't stopped working the moment they started performing in that sandstorm **sob**

I'm so glad you watched the concert <3 It really is such a great performance, and I was so excited to hear what you thought of it. I think it’s their stage presence in particular that makes the guys from ATEEZ so special—at least to me. They really get the crowd going and get the whole audience involved with their massive fanchants etc. (I mean the break the wall thing in guerilla is really something lol). I was lucky enough to see them last winter on their “Towards the Light” tour, and I still don’t regret a thing, even though the organization was a disaster and the ticket prices were astronomical. None the less: One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Ateez is a group where you really see what they’re capable of when they perform live. So: SO cool that you reacted to Coachella-teez. I’d be so happy to see more videos from you about them. But for now, thank you so much for this vid. <3

"I doubt any of these guys even drink" - we have to get him watching a drunkteez compilation 😂

If you decide to do a deep analysis, please use the stream from Week 2. Because of the sandstorm, some of the cameras on Week 1 were not working so Week 2’s cam work was far superior. Also, there was a viral moment during Wonderland in Week 2, where Seonghwa screamed and cried (he didn’t even know he was crying at the time) his way through the last push to break through his exhaustion. It made a great performance even more intense. After this performance, Jongho passed out right after he walked off stage. He said the sandstorm made it hard to breathe. Then, the next day he went and took vocal lessons from a famous trainer in LA. He is a beast!

Watching Ateez at Coachella is always a blast! They're so explosive, it never fails to amaze me how they can still sing while doing such heavy choreo. I kinda wish you saw their 2nd performance instead because the camerawork in this show was terrible and there were many issues due to the extreme wind. Some of the cameras aren't working at all or constantly cutting out, and the camerapeople clearly didn't know the choreo because half the time the member who's singing isn't even the one being filmed (this was much better during the 2nd performance!) The members mentioned it was difficult to sing due to the sandstorm but they did such a great job despite everything! Besides the superior camerawork (and less wind/sand) they in general felt more at ease during their 2nd show imo. There was also an iconic moment during weekend 2 where Seonghwa, during Wonderland's sword scene, was so exhausted he screamed to hype himself up and keep himself from collapsing which was audible even without the microphone. You're so right when you say these men all are high performance athletes, it's crazy. Edit: you can watch weekend 2 here https://www.bilibili.tv/en/video/4791904200950272 (I think you have to log in for higher quality) They mostly do their talks in English during international concerts even though most of them speak barely any English (they all have improved a lot over the years though!). Personally I prefer it when groups use a translator instead because it sounds less rehearsed, which can come off a bit flat/insincere imo - Jongho always makes me laugh because he sounds really sarcastic at times when reading from the prompter 😂 But I really appreciate them going the extra mile and putting in the effort of speaking in English. I think it'd be fun for you to watch one of their full tour concerts to get more of a feel of their song variety, I think Towards The Light: Will To Power would be really fun to check out because the show has such a cohesive storyline and setting (very musical theatre) + they perform their duo songs. They have a lot of hype songs but they specifically picked the hard hitting ones for this festival setting, they have plenty of calmer songs too!

I LOVED IT OMG OMG OMG, I wanted you to watch this so bad! The only tiny thing I would just wish so badly is you pause when you are going to say something lengthy, you missed many parts, or that at least you don't look at the camera so in case something comes you see it. You missed the crazy San solo down dance I wanted to dieeeeee I was like "please notice, please notice, please notice, look at the video!" at around 42:50. It's ok you did notice many things and you did mention his dance in another earlier part of the video. At times I just scream at my screen like TIIIIMMMMMMM WATCH hahaha but I like to hear what you want to say, just pause if it's too long, maybe? Loved all of this, it was hype as hell! Never stop! And even if you don't change a thing i am here for the long run!

YAAAY so happy youre checking more of ateez out

ohoh tim dont say fist group they were the first male group there was quite a few female groups before abd everyone was getting real feisty for atiny being proud of them

for the metal voice part in guerrilla that is one of the most beloved fan chants lol. atinys go crazy doing it every single time. Ateez mentioned hoe they often can't really hear the beat over the screaming.also i still remember clips going viral that year from the other livestrams where there was currently no act, bec you could hear atiny shouting the break the wall. Honestly one of my fave part of guerilla!

the song playing in the beginning as intro is called wake up! or atleast it's the track.... I think the outlaw ep which it is from is genuinely my favourite ateez release

Thanks for this! They deliberately used a lot of their most aggressive and explosive music here. I think you've only really been exposed to that side of them and it's definitely a big part of what they're known for BUT they do have a lot of songs that are very much not this style and feel. I think that's what you need to see next from them.
