G-DRAGON WORLD TOUR ACT III : M.O.T.T.E 'MOMENT OF TRUTH THE END'
As an European fan you know too well that when your favourite group or artist goes on an World Tour what they actually mean is almost everywhere else, but definitely NOT Europe.
Probably some of you that follow Zutter on Instagram (@zutter.co.uk) might be familiar with my 2 nights of waking up at 3 am (10 am Hong Kong time) trying to get my hands on some tickets. Which I did on Friday… but from a reseller, because the official site was at its traffic limit and non responsive.
So here I was Monday morning brushing my teeth, still a bit upset for paying a VIP ticket price for a normal seated ticket, thinking ...
“If it was in London, I bet the connection to the server would be better and I could have gotten even a VIP on the official sale website…”
Toothbrush down, check phone as a normal millennial…
STARE IN SHOCK…
G-DRAGON FB 3 MIN AGO - EUROPE DATES….
YOU HAVE TO BE JOKING WITH ME…
...
STARE IN SHOCK SOME MORE…
Probably that was most of everyone’s morning today when the news broke.
Actually, I personally said:
This can not be happening x 17 times
I am in shock x 12 times
Must be a dream x 9 times
It seems that when G-Dragon said World Tour he meant it ! Finally, Europe! So here I am Monday night, instead of writing about Dean’s concert from last night in Koko which was LIT, I am writing about G-Dragon’s MOTTE World Tour - cue Trailer.
As the tour has begun for a couple of weeks now, a lot of fancams, photos and other stuff are surfacing online so lets start with the most important topic…
…THE TRACK LIST
While there are a couple differences between the Seoul and the Singapore track list it seems to be just to the fact that CL and IU will not be touring with GD … so no, we will probably not get to hear The Leaders or IU’s newest single Palette featuring GD, but here are all 22 songs that he will be singing:
-
Heartbreaker
-
Breathe
-
A Boy
-
But I love you
-
Obsession
-
Michigo
-
One of a Kind
-
R.O.D.
-
That XX
-
Black
-
Missing you + You do (band)
-
Who You
-
I Love it
-
Today
-
Crayon
-
Superstar
-
Middle fingers up
-
Bullshit
-
Divina Comedia
-
This Love
-
Crooked
-
Untitled, 2014
And to get you ready for the concert Zutter made you a playlist with all the 22 tracks in the concert order.
Now, lets talk about the second most important thing when attending a concert…
THE TOUR MERCH
All already available on YG E-SHOP so even if you miss out on the concert you could still get yourself some tour merchandise for your kpop collection. There are a lot of different things you can choose from: phone cases (come in a lot of different models and for a lot of different phones such as iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel, Huiwei P9, LG G5), poster, towel, hand fan, slippers, water bottle (for when you are thirsty for GD ^-^), toothbrush set (considering when I found out, I am considering getting this as a fun reminder of the day), paperweight, finger ball, short sleeve and long sleeve T-shirts, wind jacket, caps, wooden postcard, stickers, magnets, cross bag, ticket album, bandana, ring, charms, pin badges and shorts.
It sounds overwhelming, but don't worry! Zutter has you covered this time as well. We've selected the must have items for you. (Click the photo for shopping link)
TICKET PRICES
Yes the prices sound obscene, but for having G-Dragon, KWON JIYONG, in London rather than having to fly somewhere, pay for a hotel AND the ticket (resell price), sounds pretty good to me. After all... Europe...
