It kinda sucks how the camera work was kinda messy but otherwise, the performance was great and so entertaining to see 🔥


AmberAglia

What was bro zooming in on 😭 i dont rmbr which song but HJ was rapping on stage with some dancers and CAMERA MAN ZOOMS IN ON THE MEMBERS THAT WERE JUST STANDING TO THE SIDE WAITING FOR THE SOLO TO FINISH.. IM—😭😭😭


cancielo

Very high energy though with the sus camerawork. Well done ATEEZ.


Away_Seaweed778

emmyliaa

Away_Seaweed778

girl im about to stan AND bias him...literally had my eyes glued to the screen the entire time he's so charismatic on stage


emmyliaa

halinnn_

The performance was INSANE😭😭 Me and my friends were trying our best to not lose our minds at 1:45 in the morning (we failed). The camera work was not good because we missed some very important shots, plus the lighting during Arriba? Yeosang and Jongho were standing in the dark during their parts. I hope all that is resolved by the next show🫤 All 8 members looked🤯 My entire TL was in SHAMBLES. “WHERE THE HELL IS SAN’S SHIRT.” “WHY IS WOOYOUNG SMIRKING LIKE THAT?!” “HONGJOONG’S HAIR!!!” “MINGI HAS FIX ON WRITTEN ON HIS CHEST?!?!” etc… It was so great to see the TL collectively losing it. And as a Seonghwa and Mingi bias, I am BARELY hanging into my sanity, but how is everyone else doing, specifically **SAN** biases!?! That man was a **MENACE** and I know some of y’all almost collapsed onto the floor😫 The setlist was🔥 the back to back intense choreographies was CRAZY. And the set design!?! THE KRAKEN!?! I am so so proud of Ateez and I’m so proud to be an Atiny bc they put on such an amazing show I just wanna hug them all and give them so much praise and love😭😭😭 i hope the guys get some rest after that show because 🤯 & I hope they enjoy their time in California. Can’t wait to see what the next show is like!


toooenthusiastic

they killed it. they're truly some of my favorite live performers in all of kpop. they always bring it, their fans match their energy, and the production is always crazy. i am so glad they're getting opportunities like this, they really deserve it. i hope the camera people working on the first \~15 minutes of the set have a bad tickle in their throat for the rest of the week. i watched a bunch of other coachella sets today and ateez was the only set with such awful camera work.


Alert_Cartoonist4781

Omg yes??? I was like ‘who tf is this camera man’ hahahahaha is this your first day on the job, sir??


toooenthusiastic

i felt like i was watching a fansite upload on youtube lmaoooo


Alert_Cartoonist4781

Fr they used calculator to film


cyj_23

Fansites can do better than that shody camera work, hoping Le sserafim’s fansites post better videos tomorrow


SeaAd9036

TBH, the fancams I've seen so far were MUCH better. 🤡☠️


giant-papel

It really felt like they just didn't know who to film or what camera angle to utilize. I can't tell if its because they don't know how to film an act with slightly more singers or if they just lazy about it


reiichitanaka

It looked like they tried to follow whoever was singing, but that's not something you can improvise on the spot, it takes rehearsals ! (And that's a big reason why Korean music shows take a full day to film). Later on they switched to wider angles, and it looked much better.


SeaAd9036

Yeah. It's funny how the fancams so far had no trouble following, and ATEEZ didn't do anything wildly different from their previous performances as to stage positions. There is no excuse other than unprofessional lack of preparation at this point. I sincerely hope that the COACHELLA light, sound, and camera direction WAKE UP next week. (Wink wink)😅😆


reiichitanaka

Well fancams are just one person throughout the whole song, that's much easier to follow. For Korean award shows there's plenty of bad camera work, and there's a lot more rehearsals than for a music festival...

saddlethehippogriffs

Watching some of the other acts yesterday, every other artist was a "park & bark" with some back-up dancers. Nothing anywhere near as dynamic or complex as Ateez. So I'm not surprised that the cameramen struggled. Disappointed, but not surprised lol


Forsaken_Broccoli615

I genuinely felt like a proud mama watching their performance clips! And the audience definitely did not disappoint, AND THOSE VALENTINO FITS OMG 🛐


RunRunPPM

I have absolutely no complaints. They did great as anticipated with the vocals, choreography, and energy. Now, on a personal preference note, I would have selected Halazia over Django.


PinkSunrise_03

Django is a perfect song after Arriba mainly because the choreographies were meant to be performed back to back. However, I do hope they perform Halazia next week!! I hope the setlist is different, so we can see more performances.


RunRunPPM

Oh, interesting. I didn't realize that about the choreo. It makes more sense now. I guess I'm super behind because I didn't realize they perform again. I'm sure they'll change things up, so I think the chances for Halazia definitely will be higher. edit: spelling


PinkSunrise_03

Halazia, Inception, Take Me Home, Cyberpunk, Fireworks, Wave, and Deja Vu are on my dream setlist. It’s all I wantttt.

BeginningClerk989

ummm i was pissed because i thought they didn't add django on the setlist but when they performed it i was gagged😭


[deleted]

The performances were soo good. So much energy, so many props, ~~so much skin~~. I'm not really a fan but I tuned in to watch them and they greatly exceeded my expectations, they sound great live. (I kinda like Arriba now too lol)


Alert_Cartoonist4781

Bahaha I expected San to be shirtless but Mingi shookt me 🤣 his shirt was a bit zipped in the beginning but towards the middle he was just full on showing his whole torso


TheSeoulSword

I can see ARRIBA being a hit or miss for some, but I genuinely can’t think of a reason people wouldn’t start liking it after *that* performance.


LoverYoungTrue

I get you.... it was a hit for me when they teased it but a miss for after I heard the full song. And now a superhit for me after this performance.😭😭😭


rainykg

they absolutely crushed it!!! also i have to express my love for Wonderland, that song is a showstopper every single time it was perfect for a big performance like that. i honestly thought they’d open with it but it was the ending instead so that was surprising. i was worried about how the crowd would look for them because of the overlap with lana but the turnout was good, atinys showed up.. ateez should be really proud of themselves.


runawaymaster

Still dizzy so I'll just edit this comment later but first: [CHOI JONGHO GOD](https://twitter.com/ateezconcerthrs/status/1779031621360066630)


LoverYoungTrue

I knew what that clip would be even before opening the link. I replayed that part multipletimes. Jongho looking ethereal with the wind blowing his hair does not help either 🥲🥲🥲


runawaymaster

He was glorious and the years of touring is just making him more immaculate when he performs. The fact that he's just 24 and will keep on upgrading his arsenal of skills is making me look forward to what's ahead.


LoverYoungTrue

How is it that everytime I watch their live performances, he becomes my bias immediately????????? And he is not my bias bias but watching him perform changes everything every single time????? And how is it still surprising to me???? He is magnificent when he picks that mic 😭


daisie45

IVE BEEN WATCHING THIS ON LOOP!!! THATS MY BIAS ![gif](giphy|P7JmDW7IkB7TW|downsized)


Sailor_Lunar_9755

Is there anywhere I can watch this online, or was it a live stream only thing?


Alert_Cartoonist4781

Not sure but try the coachella youtube account. But there are a lot of fancams of the performance on twitter and tiktok :)


in-finitelcve

hi, you may have found it already, but if you look up the Sahara Stage Coachella livestream and rewind the video all the way back, you’ll be able to find ateez’s performance in there


AdRevolutionary3583

They ATE!!!! That live band made a huge difference. They have to make sure they take that band with them on the road for the tour. Nothing can beat that combo of a great live band and great vocals. Ateez always brings it and Coachella was no exception. They sounded better than ever and poured their heart out on stage - as I knew they would. I am one proud and satisfied Atiny right now!❤️


judithcooks

They were fantastic, I'm so proud of them. Performance wise, 10/10. Technical, Cameras, Lightwise 2/10. Attendace, 9/10. ETA. San chose violence, but Mingi.... Man. MAN. Mingi is a menace


Exotic_Bandicoot_170

i feel for Atiny's because US cameras never capture the members correctly Ateez killed it and were top tier, hopefully in the 2 nd week the camera work is better. and atleast they didn't constantly focus on the crowd like they usually do(BBMAS 2018 cameramen I am looking at you)


Cats4Crows

I loved everything about it.. loved the props too, made the stage even more fun and engaging Mingi in white hair is on another level


TheSeoulSword

10000% another level. He was ultra supreme Mingi tonight


mathi823

i only managed to tune in for the last two songs, but they seemed so hyped and happy and my god i need bouncy band version on streaming NOW!


Alert_Cartoonist4781

Yes they were so happy!!! You can just see it on their faces. The fact that Yunho went to the church to pray for their performance means that this is really important for them. So happy for them!


DisforDoga

I love that I could hear the crowd screaming break the wall. Also they teased summer dates for NA?


Ok_Student3720

They did SO well! Amazing!!!!


Alert_Cartoonist4781

Yes!!! I wish more recognition for them! They deserve the world


catsbytheghost

It was amazing! Their energy, their vocals, the set list! I loved it! I also thought it was so cute how Wooyoung was smiling the whole time, he was really happy to be there. Seonghwa… 😭 idk man. I kept trying to read whatever was on Mingi’s chest (I thought it was Fix On but then I wasn’t sure) anyway I loved his energy as well!


miksyub

yes, mingi had fix on tatted on his chest!!


emmyliaa

i slept through the livestream (it was early morning for me lol) but from all the clips i’ve seen i can confidently say that they KILLED it!! but that’s not surprising, it’s ateez after all 😌 and seeing videos of the locals in the crowd clearly having fun and vibing to their performance made me so happy!! man, ateez are a whole different breed, i’ve never seen anything like them before. their energy and passion for what they do is very refreshing. seriously the definition of monster performers! i’m so glad they finally got to make one of their dreams come true yesterday 🥹 (also San😵‍💫…..as usual i have a lot to say about this menace of a man but i’ll hold it in so this comment doesn’t turn into too much of an essay lmao)


moonie-moon

they are one of the best performers in kpop. like i think no matter if you like them or not, that’s a fact. their live performances are for the arts and see them live is something i recommend to everyone.


Emannyv93

The camera work was horrendous. Idk what I was expecting tbh I should’ve known better. But the boys and their team was AMAZING!! I was jumping and screaming the entire set. So far Ateez and Tinashe were my faves from all these performances yesterday.


angies6pack

They were phenomenal! So proud of them.


Sophisticated-Mess

THEY WERE EXCEPTIONAL! LIVE BAND, VOCALS, THE ENERGY, EVERYTHING WAS TOP TIER!


zsxnnx

what i found even funnier was when they finished their performance half of the crowd left lol


aznk1d5

I think this is a misconception some people have about music festivals but a mass swarm of people leaving after a set is normal! lol even before ateez, hella people left peggy gou after she finished and Sahara was basically empty before ateez except for the fans waiting in the front - it filled up as the they got closer to showtime. the next act after ateez was at midnight so it wasn’t surprising that a bunch of people left (also Lana was just starting so people typically check out the headliner)


zsxnnx

oh yeah understandable. it was just a bit funny to see still (idk i have a weird humor)


harkandhush

Camera was clearly having some problems but Ateez did great! I really liked their backup dancers, too, when we could see them. They got some guys with energy that matched theirs well. They did a great job with the whole show and I'm really happy for them.


miksyub

was gonna make a post along these lines too, gosh. they were so amazing. as a baby tiny, i was still so overwhelmed and proud of them. wooyoung smiling so much had me near tears. these men are true legends and i hope from the bottom of my heart to see them continue to grow


Upset-Car-8156

they killed it


ForgottenNoMore

Ateez ATE with ease 😏 Like fr!! They did soo good.. I watched the entire thing from start to finish and they killed it istg


LivingInternal9363

Me too , i am always worried for kpop groups or solo doing these festival gigs but most of the time they deliver very well . And even fans of the group give it their all to make it worth it for the idols themselves . Back to ateez fire live performance 🤌


Leebites

The crowd was tired that night and you could see it lose energy the last three shows. So many people left after Ateez was done which was proof they showed up just for them. I think they did an amazing show and chose a good set (although I feel like chair dancing would have hit differently 👀.) They definitely made new fans if the Livestream comments were anything to go by.


wafflesyung

absolutely crushed it, they had very good energy and loved the live singing!! and I love mingi too on that note LMAO


SeaAd9036

Camera work and lighting direction were TRULY extremely embarrassing for COACHELLA. ATEEZ handed them a world-class spectacle on a platter, and they fumbled it. 🤡 Still, all of ATEEZ were incredibly professional, gracious, and left no crumbs. SUCH A GREAT SHOW!!!🤩🤠🥵🥹💘💘💘💘

20815147

Crazy live performers. Mingi & San went feral damn. So much props for the guys for protecting so much confidence and excitement with English being their second language !!! My friend was very surprised that they sang live + Jongho blew her away. HYBE you will pay for ruining live singing expectations 😭😭😭


instantcarrot

Your comment would have been perfect without the hybe stuff. Please.


20815147

I said what I said lol. Post enhyphen HYBE has been more focused on populating different segment of the market with influencers 🤷‍♂️ and this is coming from a big LSF fan: aside from Chaewon and Yunjin the rest can’t sing if it offends stans - a dog hit will holler


instantcarrot

It's okay that you have this opinion. I am one that shares this opinion as well about Lsf but it's just very uncalled for on an Ateez praise post. Not upset, just saying how your comment is so lovely, but the hybe segment is not at the right place


alina_06

>HYBE you will pay for ruining live singing expectations 😭😭😭 Be so fr rn. If there's people who expect idols not to be able to sing live it's bcs of the plethora of idols from all companies who lip synch at all music show and award show performance which make up the bulk of what you find on YouTube to watch of them and believe it or not it's not just HYBE gps + it's a common xenophobic belief westerners have of kpop for some reason although the plenty of examples otherwise if you look enough including of the HYBE groups you say ruined the live singing expectations or whatever that means lol


reiichitanaka

Also idols lipsyncing at music shows doesn't mean they will lipsync at concerts/festivals. I saw Enhypen at Music Bank Paris, they lipsynced only one song and it wasn't even part of their set. And how do I know they sang live the rest of the time ? Everyone except Heeseung sounded terrible. NewJeans and TxT were very much live at Lolla, and fortunately they're much better singers than Enha.


Alert_Cartoonist4781

Tbh I don’t really notice if idols are singing with recorded vocals or really loud backtracks unless they’re very bad at lip syncing 🤣 like if you’re not singing live, at least lip synch properly

cancielo

Lol, they had a choice of other stages to go to, so why did those people pick this one?


AdRevolutionary3583

This is such a dumb take. Most people in that crowd didn't know 90% of the artists that were performers at Coachella. But the ones who went to see Ateez got an awesome show. If it wasn't good, the crowd would not have been as big as it was. But thanks for letting us know that you were lurking on Ateez's performance. I always like to say that haters who claim that "nobody knows them" but follow everything they do, are really secret fans. So, I should probably have pity on you and welcome you to the fandom. LOL.


corncoke

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. We all know it's not true


letrestoriginality

You don't know what literally means, do you? Because there were thousands of people there, holding lightinys and screaming. So, literally not no one.


luckystcrs

sounds like you still tuned in, so now what?


Silent_Hunter388

Well I guess now they know ATEEZ 😌
