Epik High is Here: North America Tour 2022 made its stop for the first time in Denver. Epik High is a South Korean alternative hip hop group made up of 3 members: Tablo, DJ Tukutz and Mithra Jin. Excited fans gathered at Mission Ballroom ready to see the group perform their hit songs from their discography.
The excitement was palpable as concert goers expressed how nice it was to see more Korean artists make Colorado a tour stop.
Originally, the Epik High is Here: North America Tour 2022 concert was supposed to be held on March 9th at Ogden Theater but due to weather conflicts, the concert was rescheduled to April 4th at Mission Ballroom. Unfortunately due to a previous schedule, Woosung, their opening act was unable to attend the rescheduled show. The crowd was getting restless as the show hadn’t begun at its original time, but all those worries disappeared as soon as Epik High came out singing their first song “Here.”
“We kept our promise and came back! But what’s greater than this, is that you came back!” Epik High’s Tablo speaks to the cheering crowd. Tablo, DJ Tukutz, and Mithra Jin returned to Denver and expressed that they were excited that they were able to come back and perform for all of their fans in Denver. Epik High put on a show that their fans won’t soon forget.
From the upper balcony to the floor sections, fans were dancing, jumping, and singing loudly to all of their songs. Not only that, the audience were reminiscing when they sang songs that were popular in the early 2000s.
After the concert ended, it was announced for the fans that bought VIP tickets to line up for the “meet and greet”. Fans were eager for their chance to meet and take a picture with all three members. A long line quickly formed outside the main concert room.
From the line, a group of six people were formed together so they could all be seated later in front of Epik High members to take a photo. After the photos were taken, each VIP ticket holder received a signed poster.
Epik High put on another successful show here in Denver. Later that night, each member took it to social media and thanked Colorado fans for coming out to their show and showing them love. Epik High will continue their tour by heading to San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Oakland. Afterwards, they will make their final stop at Coachella on April 15th and April 22nd. Epik High will be the first Korean group to be asked back to Coachella.
