ATEEZ Brings K-POP to London's BST Hyde Park as Headliner

K-POP boy group ATEEZ has wrapped its headlining set at one of the United Kingdom's biggest music festivals. The group performed at British Summer Time Hyde Park in London on June 28 local time, taking the stage as a headline act.

Launched in 2013, British Summer Time Hyde Park is a major U.K. music festival that runs for about two to three weeks each summer in central London. Past headliners include Taylor Swift, Adele, and Justin Bieber, placing ATEEZ on a stage long associated with global pop stars.

The group opened the roughly 90-minute set with "BOUNCY" before moving through a run of fan favorites, including "Say My Name," "WORK," "Lemon Drop," "Ice On My Teeth," and "In Your Fantasy."

The biggest moment came when ATEEZ performed "BAD" for the first time on any festival stage. The song is the title track of the group's recently released 14th EP. The set then continued with "WAVE," "Adrenaline," "I'm The One," and "GUERRILLA," with the crowd singing along and cheering throughout. The group closed the show with "The Real."

After the performance, ATEEZ shared a message with fans. "It was great to meet you again in London," the group said. "Seeing people from different countries and languages enjoy the music together felt special, and we're happy to perform in a setting like this."

The London date adds another major Western festival credit to a year in which K-POP acts continue to push deeper into the global live circuit, no longer treated as a side category but booked at the top of the bill.
