Aespa Parallel Lines World Tour

First concert of 2025 baby!

I was never a huge girl group fan until last year when I was really impressed with a few groups, and when I saw Aespa was touring I knew if the ticket price was reasonable I’d love to go. Prudential Center is a GREAT venue with hardly a bad seat in the house, easy to get to, plentiful close parking, and even a few places to eat within walking distance! Snow didn’t stop us (from making the drive or wearing adorable outfits). I based my outfit off of the MV for ‘Drama’ and nailed it in both look and comfort.

I believe this was their first world tour, so I wasn’t expecting an insane set design but I was pleased with the animations on the screens behind the girls and the few set pieces they did have worked really well for their songs. Outfits were cute enough (nothing mind blowing though). But I don’t want the somewhat lackluster start of this concert review to take away from some really AMAZING points.

1- the on stage camera work was insane, A+ to whoever was in charge of that. Up close and moving with the girls gave a really cool perspective and added another level of depth to the performance.

2- I was very impressed with their vocals. As many people know, using loud backtracks and lip synching is not uncommon but I will say without a doubt those mics were ON. I love to go to concerts to hear a live performances and I was very happy to hear them all sing live- and their vocals were GREAT!

Their interactions with the crowds and Ments were short but cute, and their later half with the relaxed songs and encore were very fun. I got to hear all the top songs that originally sucked me into Aespa and they all did their solo songs from the newest album. The crowd was energetic and into it but definitely a different vibe from the boy groups.

Sadly no freebies or mingling beforehand as it was freezing and snowing but thankfully that meant they moved those entrance lines FAST and got everyone inside. Merch was not sold out but lines were very long and because they released merch ahead of time we had already gotten what we wanted.

Overall despite the cold and not feeling my best I really enjoyed myself and would 100% see them again! Cheers to the first of many for 2025!
