We are off kicking our 2025 concert season with an absolute bang! – P1Harmony kicked off with their high-energy performance in London, delivering a show that was as dynamic as it was intimate. From the moment the clock struck 8:30 PM, the group captivated fans with a mix of charisma, choreography, and heartfelt connection. It’s time to have 2 hours full of fun in London’s Troxy with THEO, KEEHO, JIUNG, INTAK, SOUL and JONGSEOB!

The opening song of the show, ‘Street Star’, sets the tone with an explosion of red confetti, bringing the audience into the vibrant energy of the night. (And here’s what we also know, it’s gonna be a night to remember). KEEHO’s guitar solo on ‘Emergency’ followed, adding an extra layer of energy to the performance. Despite the small stage, P1Harmony made the most of every inch, commanding the space with impressive finesse. As expected the third song on the setlist, ‘Everybody Clap’, had the crowd singing and clapping along. After we got into a party-mood by ‘Everybody Clap’ and ‘Heartbeat Drum’, the group effortlessly transitioned into ‘I Am You’, where the vibe softened into something more chill and laid-back, showing their versatility in style and mood.

In between songs, KEEHO shared a story about their recent Nando’s trip, where they had nearly everything on the menu. And you know, the Brits love a nice cheeky Nando’s! – The group’s interaction with the crowd is hilarious, and honestly, we didn’t expect anything less from them. Something else that was very noticeable is how much the group has improved since their 2020 debut, particularly in terms of vocal stability. I was personally amazed by how they maintained such impressive vocal control while pulling off a full choreography for every song.

After performing their hit ‘Killin’ It’, which was an absolute highlight and crowd favourite, the visuals started taking centre stage during their latest comeback ‘SAD SONG’, with a haunting backdrop of a house burning in the distance. It doesn’t only match the recent concept photos of the album, but also perfectly complements the track’s story about overcoming loneliness and focussing on positivity. Between sets, a spectacular interlude video explained their concept of ‘Utopia’, presented in English with Korean subtitles. It was a striking visual experience that added an extra layer of meaning, allowing the members to reach their international fans in a unique and thoughtful way.

The solo performances were another standout aspect of the show. THEO’s cover of Oasis’s ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ was a typical British crowd-pleaser, creating a massive singalong that perfectly suited the London crowd. INTAK, on the other hand, turned up the heat with his performance of Victoria Monét’s ‘On My Mama’, accompanied by fiery choreography that had fans screaming and dancing along. JONGSEOB’s rap section with ‘Praise the Lord (Da Shine)’ by A$AP Rocky was another crowd highlight which also brought a lot of diversity into their solos. His flawless flow and stage presence showed why he’s one of the main rappers within the group. The maknae effortlessly getting the crowd involved in the performance. SOUL then delivered an awe-inspiring dance break, combining popping and breakdancing with intense energy, while KEEHO’s cover of Billie Eilish’s ‘Wildflower’ created an emotionally charged moment, leaving fans speechless.

JIUNG ended the solo section on a fun note with an upbeat and fun version of Justin Bieber’s classic ‘Baby’, which had the entire venue dancing along.

After the solo performance where each member could show their talents, the group came back together with full energy by performing ‘Pyramid’, getting the crowd surprised once again with their synchronized choreography and electrifying energy. The interaction with fans was constant throughout the evening, and during a chat session the members shared personal stories and talked to fans who could vent about their own relationships drama, adding a personal and funny layer onto the show. As the night drew to a close, ‘JUMP’ became a fan favourite, with the entire audience jumping along in sync with the members. The show ended with ‘Countdown To Love’, a visually stunning performance complete with massive balloons and a final shower of confetti that filled Troxy.
