Rising boy group &TEAM has wrapped up its first Asia tour with a sold-out concert in Hong Kong, drawing a total of 100,000 fans and cementing its status as a global act.
The group concluded its “2025 &TEAM CONCERT TOUR ‘AWAKEN THE BLOODLINE’” at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong on Saturday, marking the final stop of a two-month, nine-city journey that began in Aichi, Japan in May.
Opening with their third single “Go in Blind,” &TEAM showcased a diverse musical repertoire, from their signature razor-sharp choreography to light-hearted and vibrant performances.
The group brought their core identity of fierce energy and unity to life through immersive stage design and heartfelt storytelling.
The concert featured interactive segments, including a dance challenge with fans that further heightened the energy in the venue. Members also engaged with the crowd in Cantonese and performed a special seasonal set that had the audience singing along in Japanese, creating a moment of unity through music.

“We felt the message and energy we wanted to convey through music truly reached our fans, Rune, transcending language and culture,” the group said in a statement. “As a global group that started in Japan, we’re grateful that our first Asia tour became such a meaningful beginning. We’ll continue working hard to meet fans we haven’t seen yet. Please wait for us a little longer.”
The group’s Asia tour included stops in Tokyo, Bangkok, Fukuoka, Seoul, Jakarta, Taipei, Hyogo, and Hong Kong. They will wrap up the tour with encore performances at Saitama Super Arena in Japan on Oct. 25–26, their largest venue to date.
