Look Who’s Coming to Europe! Part 1

European readers, we are in for a treat this year. Over the next 12 months, so many of our favorite K-Pop, K-R&B, and K-Rock artists will be making their way to Europe, treating us European K-music fans to some amazing live performances. With it still only January, there are likely more exciting concert announcements to come, but for now, here are just some artists I can’t wait to see perform live in Europe this 2025.

“MIST”- ATEEZ

In their first full-length album, Treasure EP.Fin: All to Action, ATEEZ dropped gorgeous R&B sounds with "MIST." This dreamy track highlights the members' strong vocal skills as they sing from a place of fear and uneasiness, with their voices excellently projecting the emotions of the lyrics. With breathtaking high notes, stunning adlibs, and impressive vocal flows, ATEEZ made sure to mark their place as one of K-Pop's strongest groups from the very beginning. 

“Magic”- Tomorrow X Together

TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) dive into disco-pop vibes in their song "Magic," the third track from their second studio album The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE.  This track projects fun and happiness with a feel-good chorus that instantly makes you smile and groove to the beat. Whenever you feel down, play “Magic” on full blast and feel the sweet vocals of TXT instantly lift up your mood.  

“You” - aespa

As a casual listener of aespa, the thing that comes to mind when I think of their music is the highly, energetic, and almost futuristic tracks that I love listening to. So, it always surprises me when I come across a slower or more laidback track from aespa such as the beautiful and light R&B track "You" from their fourth mini-album, Drama. Against an acoustic guitar and orchestral backtrack, "You" highlights the members' stunning vocals, with the song also capturing a nostalgic girl group feel.
