On march 12th Ghosties, the fans of Ghost9, are lining up outside the intimate P60 venue in Amstelveen. The excitement is clear in the conversations heard in line. This is the second to last stop of their European tour.

They start with their debut song Think of dawn, this energetic song sets the tone for the rest of the setlist. Reborn and W.ALL follow and keep the energy high and the crowd sings along loudly. After introductions, members take turns doing Aegyo, a form of acting cute. They express how excited they are to be here and hope that the members and fans don't have any regrets after tonight.

The next songs have a lighter feeling, Monday to Sunday, Love Parachute and Up all night have the venue dancing and waving their arms from side to side. To keep the light vibes going they bring up a board with post it pinned to it, on the post its are questions fans wrote before the concert. Questions like “What is your favorite choreo?” get answered by the leader of the group, JunHyung who burst into the choreo of Monster by EXO.

Junhyung leaves the stage because he needs to get ready for his solo stage and the remaining members interact with the crowd, one fan holds up her phone asking for a dance battle, she gets invited on stage for a dance battle with the group! After the amazing dance battle the members ask what a Dutch specialty is, multiple people scream some answers “Pannekoeken” (pancakes) someone else yells “Beer!” .

JunHyung is ready to perform his solo stage at this point and the members leave the stage and a mic stand appears, JunHyung comes up with his shirt unbuttoned and performs his solo song. After JunHyung, JunSeong enters the stage and performs Call me maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.

When all the other members reenter the stage again they perform their next set of songs, Flying all night, Dot, Control and X-Ray. While taking a little water break the members talk about the solo stages and the crowd starts singing Call me maybe again to the group, who cheerfully join in. Junseong asks the fans about a truly dutch song and the crowd starts singing multiple songs.

The next segment starts with RUCKUS and continues with songs they performed on the TV show they participated in ‘Peak Time’; Never Ever by Got7, I Luv it by PSY and FEVER. This concludes the original set and the members share their goodbyes and hope to come back soon. They console the crowd that they do still have the encore left and this isn't truly goodbye.

The encore consists of the songs Awesome day, Down for you and COSMOS. these three songs feel like the perfect ending to a night that felt very interactive and filled with positive energy and i’m sure fans made lasting memories during this concert.
