On January 18, 2025, ATEEZ took to their social media platforms to announce their new European world tour, "TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER." The tour kicked off on the same day with a grand performance in Lyon-Décines, France.
Alongside the announcement, the group shared detailed tour dates, venues, and the highly anticipated setlist for the performances. The tour is scheduled to cover 12 locations across Europe, featuring 28 songs in each concert, and will run until February 25, 2025.
While the announcement thrilled fans, the setlist sparked mixed reactions. Some fans expressed their excitement about the tour, while others were disappointed to find that a few of ATEEZ’s main tracks had been omitted. One fan on X tweeted:
"OHHH THEY REALLY REPLACED TURBULENCE"
Fans shared their thoughts on social media, with comments such as:
"TURBULENCE WHERE..it should be illegal to not play it, same as Answer," a fan expressed.
"Ugh what! Who did this," a fan exclaimed.
"Omg the setlist is meh," a fan said.
Some other fans made comments like:
"No hate but the setlist is a little disappointing…," a fan stated.
"I'm sorry, but why is this so horribly aligned," another fan expressed.
"Some cheered that Halazia was back, some booed that Turbulence was cut but IOMT is their newest song so of course it was added and at the end of the day I love all of their songs anyway so I'm happy regardless of what they perform." a fan made a neutral comment.
