ARTMS concludes North American run in Vancouver with performance at Vogue Theatre

The Story

ARTMS wrapped up the North American run of their world tour with a Vancouver show at the Vogue Theatre on Tuesday, October 27, according to the review published October 31.

The concert marked the group’s second performance in Vancouver, after an April 2025 show at the same venue, and the band returned following a short break before heading to European dates in November. ARTMS arrived in the city as a four-member lineup for the tour, with HaSeul on hiatus while recovering from shoulder surgery.

In addition to the lineup update, the review noted the band performed with new material and a different setlist from their earlier Vancouver appearance, including fan-facing moments connected with OURII, the name for ARTMS’ fandom.

The show opened at 7 p.m. with an introductory video featuring “mysterious, poetic phrases,” followed by “Hyper Crush” from the group’s latest EP earlier this year. The set then moved through “BURN” and “Blue Blood,” with outfits changing throughout the night.

After early songs, the members greeted the audience and referenced the new setlist prepared for this tour. The review also described crowd interaction moments that included a call-and-response-style line directed to Vancouver about diving into “blue blood.”

Later in the evening, ARTMS slowed the pace with “Candy Crush,” which the review described as performed without choreography to spotlight vocals. Four backup dancers joined for multiple numbers, and the set included solo and unit performances featuring songs “sAvioR,” “Twilight,” and “Be Natural,” as well as “Singing in the Rain,” “Eclipse,” and a cover of ABIR’s “Tango.”

Between performances and after the solo and unit segments, members spoke with the audience and discussed setlist decisions for upcoming dates, including that both unit stages would be changing for the European leg. The review also reported comments during these segments about rearranging “Singing in the Rain” as “same but different” and that Kim Lip planned to change her “Twilight” solo stage for the next leg.

The main set continued with “Starlight,” “Not Friends,” “Icarus Gang,” and “Born Stunner,” performed back-to-back with backup dancers. The review described “Born Stunner” as the standout performance of the night, and noted the group acknowledged the physical challenge of performing both songs consecutively.

For the encore, ARTMS returned with “Pixel Memory,” described in the review as the first time Vancouver’s OURII had seen the track performed live. During final remarks, the members expressed their appreciation for support across the North American tour and thanked the Vancouver audience, concluding with a group photo pose using their arms to form a “V.”
