PLT's 1st Tour 2019 We Go Holic in the USA has just ended - not only did we hear the iconic "Igoholic" live, but we went holic, alongside the legends themselves. Here's a flashback of the eleven amazing highlights from their October 18 show at the White Eagle Hall in New Jersey!
1: Gaho's Love for His Fans
The crowd at White Eagle Hall erupted as PLT's first artist took the stage. Gaho, donned in a sleek black jacket over a white tee, brought the microphone to his lips and began his 4-song set with "Going On." Throughout the performance he lingered at the edge of the stage, making eye contact with all of the fans in the audience happily holding their hands.
2: Gaho's Moves in "Pink Walk"
When the jazzy, bass beat of "Pink Walk" began, the audience immediately started swaying along to Gaho's soulful voice. Not only did he break out his top tier vocals, but his fluid dance moves made an appearance as well. We'll never forget Gaho moonwalking, or should we say, pink walking across the stage. He ended the song with a dramatic yet cute pose on the ground.
3: Satellite by Jung Jinwoo Times Two
As soon as you see a mic stand being brought to the stage, you know that you're standing on the edge of a sultry, emotional performance. A spotlight shone down the center as Jung Jinwoo began the first song of his set. A soft synth was barely heard in the background as the crowd roared, drowning out the back-up music.
Suddenly, Jung Jinwoo stopped the music mid-song, and with a big smile on his face, said, "You guys are so passionate I couldn't hear the music! Gonna do it one more time, Sorry!"
PLT fans? Powerful. Jung Jinwoo? Precious.
4: Jung Jinwoo Shares an Unreleased Song
The second song of his set came as a surprise! He announced that the next song was unreleased, and is scheduled to launch this November. Judging by the crowd's reaction, everyone was equally excited and grateful for this moment. The song entitled "Nowhere," is a jazzy R&B track that the fans couldn't help but groove to. Jung Jinwoo's clear, velvety vocals was definitely one of the highlights of the entire night.
5: June Serenades The Crowd
Let's set the scene: a single stool in the middle of the stage, deep blue and indigo strobs giving the stage a cool atmosphere, and light fog pools through the air in motion. Then June appeared charmingly, opening his set with the sweet "Serenade." His soulful voice penetrated through the hearts of the audience as if he was singing to each fan in the crowd personally. And can we just talk about June's falsetto? Because WOW.
6: Music Isn't Limited By Language,and June Proves That
Throughout his performance, June would apologize for his lack of skills in English only to be met with supportive screams from the audience telling him that he's doing great, sweetie!
"Honestly, the only thing I know how to say is thank you," June said in the middle of his set. But through his passionate performances, his music, and the love he showed to his fans, he said so much more than just that.
7: Villain Keeps His Fans Hydrated
Let's face it. The moment Villain stepped out on stage was the moment we knew it was about to get a little bit hotter in the venue. The red lights set the mood as Villain strutted on stage in a white and denim fit that contrasted fabulously with his blue hair. The California native interacted flawlessly with the crowd, throwing jokes and talking back to fans.
In the middle of his set, he threw a water bottle into the crowd and announced that "it's boutta get real hot in here." We love a caring king who tells us to stay hydrated.
8: Villain Took Energy Level To New Heights
Villain's lyrics are raw, hard-hitting, and powerful—his dance moves can be described in the same way. He hardly stood still and instead ran from one side of the stage to the other, jumping and kicking to the beats of his songs. Throw in a few nae-naes and smooth grooving (don't forget hitting the woah) and you've got yourself an epic performance put on by Villain himself.
9: Moti's Dangerous Duality
Can anyone explain to us how someone can be so endearingly attractive yet dangerously powerful at the same time? That's Moti's stage presence.
The deep bass and snares of "Humble" echoed throughout the venue as Moti's deep, husky low-tones brought the crowd to excitement. From the smooth, slow chorus to the swift, hard-hitting verses clearly displayed Moti's musical artistry and versatility.
10: Moti and June Take The Stage With "Go"
The fans came to the show knowing it was a PLT concert, yet up until this point each artist performed solo. When Moti brought June out for "Go," the crowd went absolutely wild. Hearing Moti's hard rap verses next to June's silky R&B vocals live was something we never knew we needed. And now it's something we can never live without.
11: PLT: The Collective
Unarguably the most anticipated moment of the night was when the five artists from Planetarium Records appeared on stage together. If you thought the audience was loud, you should have heard the cheers as PLT opened their collective set with "Blah."
The concert venue transformed into a music club; the lights flashed everywhere as the bodies in the audience jumped along with PLT, who poured their words and hearts out on the stage.
Amongst bops like "Hocus Pocus" and "Glue," PLT performed "Igoholic," from which the USA Tour name was taken. As PLT went holic on stage, so did their fans in the crowd, and what an amazing night it was!
