Wednesday November 19th, a cold day but that doesn’t stop FriendZ from lining up outside of P60 in Amstelveen. You could already feel the energy they were going to bring with them tonight, it promised to be a great night! 

We had the amazing opportunity to ask the members some questions before the VIP benefits started!

Since it is the first time in the Netherlands we asked them if there were any landmarks or places they wanted to visit while they were here; they really wanted to visit the windmills. 

Staying on the topic of the Netherlands, of course we asked them if they have tried any local food. “We want to try all the cheese” was the answer given and we had a little laugh after we told them that there are a lot of different types of cheese here. 

When asked about performing in Europe they told us that they get a lot of energy from FriendZ and that is how they are able to put on such amazing and energetic performances. And lastly as a message to Dutch FriendZ they said that they really hope that they have an amazing time tonight and they really want to come back soon!

This concert TrendZ had an opening act; ABM Crew, a K-pop cover dance crew that recently made it to the second round of Holland’s Got Talent. They performed an impressive mix of Katseye’s Gnarly and CORTIS’s Go and Fashion. They hyped the crowd up and really got them ready for TrendZ

After the lights dimmed and the crowd screamed for them, TrendZ entered the stage and opened the concert with TNT and Trauma. After a quick introduction and hello’s they go right into Chameleon and Clique. While catching their breath after these energetic songs they talk about writing and composing Chameleon, the single album on which ra.L, Hankook and Yechan have writing credits. This is a perfect segway into talking about their new song; Crime which is a more sexy vibe, something they haven't done before. Crime is performed next. 

Havit enters the stage alone and with a single spotlight he starts singing Payphone by Maroon 5, later during the song Hankook and Yoonwoo also step on stage and the three of them together with a crowd singing along loudly perform the rest of the song. Leon enters the stage next and when the first notes of his solo cover start playing the crowd goes crazy, its Guilty by Taemin. 

All the members rejoin Leon on stage to perform their next song Villain. What follows next is an impressive medley of dance covers; Saja boys’s Soda Pop and Idol, Cortis’s Fashion, Stray Kids Ceremony, Seventeens Thunder, Aespa’s Whiplash, Ateez In My Fantasy and Enhypen's Fatal Trouble. Afterwards they ask the crowd who their favorite Kpop group is, this of course is a trick question because the answer is TrendZ! They continue about the cold weather here but that the fans helped them to get warm again. 

The next two songs are Vagabond and Ven Conmigo. In this little ment they ask about our favorite dutch things and the crowd yells out all different kinds of things from Cheese to Clogs. Yoonwoo mentioned how he heard that the cheese here is really good. Glow, My way and Nightmare are next on the setlist and then its already time for the group photo and they even film a challenge with the crowd for their new song Crime. OYE and ddoO ddoO are next followed by the goodbye’s and promises to come back soon, especially since they were pleasantly surprised by the energy and screams tonight. closing out the night with Forevermore and New Dayz, at least that's what they want us to think, of course there is the real last song; Go Up.
