On the final night of their 2026 P1Harmony LIVE TOUR [P1ustage H : MOST WANTED] IN EUROPE, the six-member group stepped onto a completely packed arena with the confidence of artists who knew exactly what they were about to deliver – a live, loud, and relentlessly energetic show.

P1Harmony opened with Black Hole, from their fourth mini-album HARMONY : ZERO IN (2022), and it felt like a switch had been flipped. Fire effects, sharp outfits, and powerful live vocals hit the crowd from the very first second. The choreography was perfectly synchronised, the kind that makes you forget how physically demanding it must be. It was a statement entry: we’re here, and we’re not playing safe. End It, from their 2021 EP Disharmony: Break Out, followed with rap verses delivered at breakneck speed; gritty and frankly bloody amazing. Keeho’s high notes, executed flawlessly despite extensive touring, deserved their own applause. Touring fatigue clearly hadn’t touched his vocal control.

By the time Look at Me Now hit, the arena’s energy shot through the roof. During the first MENT, the members addressed the crowd individually before Keeho said with a smile, “What’s up, London? It’s such an honour to be here at the OVO Arena. It’s our last show of the tour and an honour to end it here.” The cheers said everything. Breakthrough, Emergency, DUH!, and Scared drove the set into overdrive, each song hitting harder than the last. The group danced as if it were their first show, not their last. There’s a special joy in artists performing with the freedom and relief of a final date, and doing it in London felt special.

A short instrumental moment before Before the Dawn introduced dramatic lighting and with rock-laden sounds, giving the stage a gritty, almost festival-like atmosphere. And then came the covers, which were impressively arranged and executed. Their funky, sharply styled Uptown Funk (Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars) was super fun with their pitch-perfect vocals. Keeho’s cover of The One That Got Away (Katy Perry) combined distorted effects with his natural tone, demonstrating the full versatility of his voice.

An interlude spotlighted a sleek Soul’s solo dance performance before moving into hip-hop territory with After Party (Don Toliver) performed by Intak and Sticky performed by Jongseob (Tyler, The Creator). The latter was a really good rap moment – effortless pacing, controlled breathing, bars spat like an underground rapper. If Jongseob ever goes solo in hip-hop, the competition should be worried.

Theo’s cover of What’s Up? (4 Non Blondes) – smashing the electric guitar before cheekily slipping into Oasis’ Don’t Look Back in Anger and earning instant British approval – was superb. Back to originals, WASP and Work hit hard with bass-heavy hip-hop and EDM textures. Work, in particular, felt like a London club track, complete with pounding lights and thunderous fan chants. It proved something clear: P1Harmony doesn’t sound like a typical K-pop group, effortlessly moving between genres while keeping their Korean lyrics intact.

BOP, Pretty Boy, and Stupid Brain (from their English-language EP, EX, which made history by debuting at #9 on the Billboard 200) brought the group closer to fans via the extended catwalk. Stupid Brain delivered a beautiful message about embracing imperfection, transforming the arena into the world’s largest karaoke room as thousands sang along.

And here’s the thing – technically, they’re exceptional. As someone raised on strictly live performances (no autotune safety nets), I’m picky. But P1Harmony might genuinely be the kings of live vocals among their peers. Every note was in tune, every harmony stable, even mid-choreography; no shortcuts! By Do It Like This, Jump, and Follow Me, the entire venue was dancing. My legs and back were protesting, but the group somehow had more stamina than everyone combined. Confetti rained down as the members reflected on their first performance in London at a festival years ago, never imagining they would one day headline this arena.

The encore, Dancing Queen, Sad Song, Killin’ It, AYAYA, and Last Call, felt like a victory lap. If you had to sum up the night in one sentence, this was entertainment at its absolute best! The staging was good, the choreography never slipped, and the charisma never dipped. P1Harmony’s journey hasn’t been perfectly smooth, but Wembley proved one thing: they’re no longer climbing – they’re here, now, and on top of their game! And judging by the sweat-soaked, euphoric crowd limping out of the arena, London would happily follow them anywhere next.
