[Concert Recap] LYKN in Paris

LYKN, a rising Thai pop boy band, is quickly gaining international recognition, and their current world tour, Dusk & Dawn proves just how far their reach goes. After stops in Warsaw and Berlin, the group brought their high energy performance to Paris on April 4th, marking another milestone in their growing global presence.

From the moment fans entered the venue, the atmosphere felt like they were ready to party. The crowd, many dressed for the occasion and waving LYKN lightsticks. Even before the group appeared on stage, fans were already singing along to music videos playing on the screens, along with content from other artists under the same label.

When LYKN finally took the stage, the reaction was explosive. Opening with *First sight*, they immediately set the tone for a night filled with energy and strong crowd engagement. Their stage presence was undeniable, choreography, supported by background dancers, and a constant interaction with the audience kept the energy going throughout the show.

One of the standout elements of the performance was the production. The use of fire/ sparkles effects added an extra layer of excitement. Beautiful animated backgrounds where being shown during the whole performance.

The concert also gave each of the five members a moment to shine through individual solo stages. These performances showcased their talent. From emotional ballads to upbeat dance tracks, ensuring there was something for everyone in the audience.

Between songs, the members made a clear effort to connect with the crowd by speaking in English, notably without French translation. While unexpected, this added a personal touch and demonstrated their commitment to reaching their international fans.

A particularly memorable segment came during their performance of *Charm*, where they introduced a playful “sexy version” of the choreography. Each member took turns performing, drawing enthusiastic reactions from the crowd. A spontaneous moment, where Tui began beatboxing while the others sang, added a unique and entertaining twist.

What stood out most throughout the night was the genuine appreciation the members showed toward their fans. They expressed how meaningful it was to perform outside Thailand and seemed visibly moved by the audience’s response. Especially as most of the fans don’t speak Thai still sang along to their songs.

The group also treated the audience to unexpected surprises. A brief performance of *Last Twilight*, previously removed from the setlist, sparked a loud reaction. Later, in a creative staging choice, the members reappeared among the audience, walking along the staircases while singing, creating an intimate connection with fans before returning to the main stage.

They closed the concert with their latest single, *No Way*, ending the night with a banger. As they left the stage, their final message “je t’aime” and telling the fans they will try to come back next year, felt like a fitting conclusion to the performance.
