🏹💘 ARTMS in BARCELONA 🎯🥰

The happiness this concert brings me is from another planet.

These girls have an incredible energy, charisma, and passion for their work.

Hoping to see them again. 💖

I really hope they come back as a full group and we get LOONA back. 💫

The concert started with "Birth," and from the first second, I knew the night was going to be special. That song has something, I don't know, it conveys a feeling of rebirth that fits perfectly with the new phase of ARTMS. Then came "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy" and "Distress," which kept the energy really high. With "Flower Rhythm," the atmosphere shifted a bit; it was one of those songs that just captivates you without you even realizing it. And to close the first act, "Butterfly Effect," one of my favorites, beautiful and leaving the feeling that there was so much more to come.

The solos were a lovely touch. HeeJin with "Algorithm" in a rock version, wow, what a moment, such a good song and what a great album she has. HaSeul also had her moment with "Let Me In," a song that brought back memories of LOONA and sounded so beautiful live that it was impossible not to get emotional. Odd Eye Circle raised the energy even more with "Air Force One" and "Je Ne Sais Quoi," two incredible tracks that I consider masterpieces.

Then came "Stylish" and "Satellite," two songs that brought nostalgia and melancholy to many of us there. Honestly, they sounded as if time had never passed.

But the best came at the end. "Candy Crush," one of my absolute favorites from this album, turned the room into a party, "Unf/Air" kept the intensity, and "Air" gave me an incredible sense of freedom. "Sparkle" was like a breather before the grand finale with "Virtual Angel," which couldn’t have been more perfect.
It was one of those songs that gives you goosebumps and makes you wish the concert would never end.

Hearing these songs live, with the energy of everyone in the room and their charisma on stage, was one of those experiences that reminds you why live music is so special. An incredible night, one of those that stays with you forever.

This makes me realize that, many times, the things we least expect are the ones we enjoy and love the most. You don’t need to be the #1 fan of something to enjoy it to the fullest.

Be yourself and do the things you like, regardless of what others say or think.

If you’re reading this, I think you already know me a little bit. You know that one of my hobbies as an adult is going to concerts. I can’t explain in words what music and the experience of attending different concerts I’m interested in does to me.

But I’ve never told you that it’s a very tough hobby.
Tough because it’s definitely not a cheap hobby. I think we can all agree that tickets keep getting more expensive and less accessible, and, luckily, there are more concerts I want to attend. That’s why sometimes I have to control myself and make smart decisions about what type of ticket I want to buy or which concerts I should prioritize.

With ARTMS, I went through something like this. I really wanted to see these girls live because I loved "DALL", their first full album as a group.
But of course, I’m sure someone will understand my feeling now. I was never too involved in the LOONA fandom, and I know it’s one of the most beloved groups in the entire industry, plus I missed a lot of lore after the group’s disbandment. So, when I thought about the concert, I felt a huge “Impostor Syndrome” because I thought I wasn’t fan enough or didn’t know all the information about the current situation of the members or the group.

So, after thinking about it a lot, I decided to buy the basic ticket to see these girls. Impostor Syndrome won, but I thought that this way I’d leave more opportunities for people who were bigger fans than me.

So, like for all concerts, on D-DAY, I grabbed my car and drove to Barcelona to get there a bit earlier and try to find a decent spot.

I arrived about 30 minutes before the doors opened for the general admission tickets, and honestly, that’s when I realized how LOONA had never lost their fans. There were already a lot of people in that line, so it was easy to imagine there would be even more people inside with the more expensive tickets.

Honestly, seeing so many people made me happy because LOONA has always been such a beloved group, but seeing that after everything, the members in their different projects [whether with groups or as soloists] still have such great support and an unwavering hope was so comforting.

Luckily, I managed to find a good spot upstairs, next to some very nice girls who let me hang out with them. If they ever read this, I’m thankful they were all so kind to me and that we were able to gather nicely to watch the stage together.

Speaking of the concert, I can say it was one of my favorites of 2024. Despite how I felt before buying the tickets and thinking I wasn’t fan enough to attend, I had a wake-up call. I loved it, enjoyed it so much, and had an amazing time.
I was very wrong because many times I think I need to be an unconditional fan of something to enjoy it to the fullest and not feel judged for not being part of the fandom. I think many people feel the same when we go to concerts or places where we might be judged.

But going back to ARTMS, the "ARTEMISAS," they were absolutely incredible.
I’ll say again that their album "DALL" really got to me and I still love it. I think the songs are really good and keep so much of the LOONA vibe. Also, each and every one of them shone in such an amazing way.

GALERY ARTMS

I really love these photos, truly.

Thinking about this concert makes my heart feel so full. I hope to see them again in 2025 on their tour in Spain.
