‘Ashes to Light’ marks the group’s first Japanese studio album in over four years, ever since the release of their album ‘Into the A to Z’ in March 2021.
‘Ashes to Light’ will deliver the message of “new hope rising from hardship” and will include nine tracks, four previously released singles, ‘NOT OKAY,’ ‘Days,’ ‘Birthday,’ and ‘Forevermore,’ alongside five new songs.
Leading up to the album drop, ATEEZ will embark on their ‘IN YOUR FANTASY’ Japan tour, starting with a three day concert in Saitama (Sept 13-15), followed by shows in Nagoya (Sept 20–21) and Kobe (Oct 22–23). On September 17, ATEEZ will also hold a special showcase event to perform the new songs and connect with fans.
‘Ashes to Light’, set to release on September 17.
