&TEAM 'BLAZE THE WAY’ at explosive Yokohama shows, announce first-ever dome concert — gig report

&TEAM kicked off their 2026 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR ‘BLAZE THE WAY’ with back-to-back shows at K-Arena Yokohama on 13 and 14 May— and capped off the explosive opening night with a career-defining announcement.

From the moment EJ, FUMA, K, NICHOLAS, YUMA, JO, HARUA, TAKI, and MAKI stormed the stage with ‘Back to Life’, ‘Lunatic’, and ‘War Cry’, the energy inside the arena barely let up. Armed with razor-sharp choreography, live-band intensity, and commanding stage presence, , the nine-member HYBE group delivered a set that felt both polished and deeply personal.

One of the biggest highlights of the night came with the live debut of ‘Rush’, which immediately drew deafening cheers from the crowd. Meanwhile, ‘Go in Blind’ received a tour-exclusive dance break, pushing the performance into overdrive and showcasing the group’s evolving confidence as live performers.

Built with direct creative input from the members themselves, BLAZE THE WAY feels like a statement of intent from a group continuing to sharpen its artistic identity. Throughout the concert, the members balanced high-impact stages with heartfelt moments, constantly interacting with fans and reflecting on how far they’ve come since debut.

The emotional peak arrived during the encore, when a surprise teaser video lit up the screens to reveal that the tour will conclude with encore performances at Belluna Dome on 5 and 6 September. The announcement marks &TEAM’s first-ever solo dome concert — the biggest venue headline show of their career so far, and a milestone long dreamt about by both the group and fans.

“We kept our promise to LUNÉ,” member K shared during the show. “We’ll never forget the feelings we had when we first dreamed of this, and we’ll keep working hard sincerely, one step at a time. We want to continue growing as a group that is truly devoted to music.”

Following a breakout 2025 that saw &TEAM become the first Japanese act to surpass one million CD sales in both Japan and Korea while also landing multiple Billboard chart entries, the group’s latest tour opener felt less like a victory lap and more like the beginning of something even bigger.
