As the crisp autumn air sets in, the 'ATA Festival 2025' promises to be a spectacular event. Are you ready to dive into the lineup and enjoy the festival to the fullest?
"Since it will be autumn, I'd love to perform 'Tomorrow is Clear,' which we released last fall," said Magenta of the global girl group QWER when asked about the song she wants to perform at the 'ATA Festival 2025.' This was revealed in a QnA video released at noon on the 2nd via TenAsia and ATA Festival's social media channels. In the video, Chodan expressed her excitement about performing by the Han River in September's autumn weather, saying, "I'm really looking forward to it."
QWER is set to take the stage at the global music festival ATA Festival, held at Nanji Hangang Park on September 27-28. The recently released QnA video serves as a preview of the festival's performances. In the interview, the members answered fans' questions candidly, satisfying their curiosity. The interview video is available on TenAsia's social media accounts on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and X. There is also a dedicated Instagram account for the ATA Festival. You can easily find these accounts by searching for 'TenAsia' or 'ATA Festival' on social media.
Given that the festival takes place in early autumn, the heat might still linger during the day. The members recommended using portable fans with cooling functions to beat the heat on the day of the performance. Hina suggested, "It's very refreshing when you hold it to your neck. I highly recommend it." Magenta advised, "Since you can't apply sunscreen to your scalp, make sure to use a parasol." Chodan shared a tip, "There's a cooling spray for your hair. Just one spray when your head feels hot will cool your whole body." Siyun playfully demonstrated spraying Chodan's hair, showcasing her charming side.
Finally, when asked if they had any tips for 'Rock Crabs' (the fandom name) who are self-taught in playing instruments, the members teased, "We'll reveal it at ATA, so see you at ATA on September 28," building anticipation.
QWER will perform on the second day of the ATA Festival, September 28 (Sunday). Other performers on that day include Kim Jaejoong, Ha Sungwoon, 82Major, Tours, Cravity, Eunice, Bad Villain, The Boyz, and New Beat. On the first day, September 27 (Saturday), the lineup includes Kim Junsu, Hwang Garam, H1-KEY, Peppertones, Jannabi, Lee Mujin, 10cm, Say My Name, Park Hyewon, and Kyungseo.
The ATA Festival is an event for all ages, featuring a diverse lineup of artists.
