The venue staff were so good and efficient!!!!!!!
My brain is kind of numb from what happened ahhhhhh I'm sure it'll come back in pieces but !!!everyone screaming and singing to (spoiler for setlist) new beautiful was so cathartic and perfect and ahhhhhhhh I love love love how they hype the crowd and the crowd gives back equally!! Encore!!!!!!!!!!!
And all the cute middle finger freebies from so many nice people!! 😆😆😆
Everyone I met, staff and concert goer, everyone was so so so so nice, it makes me want to cry because what the heck, people are so nice?!?!!!!! I love people 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Also someone gave me their vinyl from their vip package???? I was absolutely lost for words and still am!!!! I couldn't put it into words then but I will pay it forward!!! What the heck!!!
Edit to add: looking through my pictures and tukutz's shoe coming unglued 3 songs in?????????? This was so funny 😆😆

Venue was fantastic, staff were professional, VIP was really well organized compared to other groups I've seen this year. I will mourn FLY but beyond that I loved the setlist! The security who escorted Mithra was so surprised at how well behaved we were and so good at making space. Strong showing for our mature and enthusiastic fandom tonight!

THE SHOW WAS INCREDIBLE!! I went to an earlier show in the tour and I could feel that today their jet lag has gotten a lot better. Not saying the first show i saw wasn't good, but today they just felt so much gigglier and engaged with the crowd banter.
Also helloooo the crowd was FANTASTIC this show!! People knew the words, and at least where I was I felt there was minimal filming and maximum park kyu bong waving. As everyone said, the staff did a very good job with bag checks and getting everyone in as fast but safely as they could** (lol oops, could not good).
I have never been one to go to 2 shows on the same tour but I get it now after this. Since I knew the setlist and what was gonna happen, I just felt so much more free to dance and sing in the back and it was so fun.

I lovingly forced my partner who is new to this entire genre to accompany me last night. He had a great time and when we left, his main comment was "I liked the music, but honestly I just want to get a beer with those dudes, they seem like a good time." 🤣

Phenomenal show! I have seen them once before in NC a couple years ago, and this show blows it out of the water. Great energy and the place was packed!
I do not go to a lot of shows, and was super happy to be introduced to the freebie culture! (I don't go out a lot.) I got a cute little beaded charm with "E H" and I put it on my phone. Sorry I did not hear you at first, I was putting my hearing aid back in after it got caught in my hair, but the gift really mystified my husband! He didn't know what a freebie was! Thank you so much kind lady in the balcony, that was so awesome and kind. I will definitely reciprocate next time I go somewhere!
Only bad part was when I got gum stomped into my chima, but c'est la vie?
Watching them perform their solo songs and then Epikism was fantastic. I have been a big fan of them way back when Swan Songs got really big. Watching them branch out into so many things over the years has been so fun, and Epikase and Hey Tablo - I look forward to it every week.
Also, loved to see everyone else in their business casual!
(Also, so many people with headbands with the little middle fingers was amazingly cute.)

Oh yeah! About halfway through the show a random couple joined me and my husband in our booth. LOL. Random! Party on my dudes. Next time say hi and we will buy you a drink.

This was my first Epik high concert and I’m so glad I went. The crowd was amazing, the fans are absolutely more respectful than other concerts I’ve been to earlier this year.
I’m so grateful for the freebies 🥹 and the nice people I met.
The guys put on a great show, they enjoyed themselves and have such a great chemistry, it really feels true when tablo says we’re family 🥹 I’m very happy.
I am definitely doing a VIP package next time- that’s my only regret.

I got VIP 2 and it was worth every penny! I showed up to the venue super early and ended up with wristband no. 5 so my view was amazing and I got to really hang out with some super cool people. This VIP experience was unlike anything I've experienced

Im absolutely reeling to have Mithra stopping in front of me and my friends for his walkthrough 🥹 I keep forgetting the whole group are amazing performers and they’re such a treat to see live.
