NCT 127 brought their explosive energy to Crypto.com Arena on Wednesday, March 11, 2025, for the final stop of their THE MOMENTUM tour. The night was a display of power and emotion as the group gave everything on stage for the LA fans.
A High-Energy Start
Right from the opening beats of “Gas”, “Faster”, and “Bring the Noize”, NCT 127 made it clear that this was going to be a night to remember. The arena pulsed with excitement as the members stormed the stage with electrifying choreography and commanding vocals. After a short VCR intermission, they continued the momentum with “Skyscraper” and “Chain” before finally greeting the crowd.
“LA has to be hot and ready!” they declared, setting the tone for a night. The arena transformed into what they called a “giant karaoke room”—an invitation for the fans to sing and dance along.
A Mix of New and Nostalgic Hits
The set-list was a well-balanced blend of their discography, transitioning from high-energy anthems to sultry and smooth tracks like “Designer”, “Orange Seoul”, and “TOUCH”. A new VCR interrupted the set, featuring an intense, anger-driven story line. This led into performances of “No Clue”, “Pricey”, and “Regular” (English version), before delivering the fan-favorite “Sticker”. We should mention that “Regular” was also a fan favorite due to the intensity of the audience yelling the lyrics.
During a brief MENT, the members checked in on the audience and marveled at the crowd’s enthusiastic response to “Regular”. A spontaneous sing-along moment emerged when they playfully started the lyrics “roll up to the party…” and the entire arena sang back, much to their delight.
Theatrical and Emotional Segments
The group continued with “Whiplash”, “Lemonade”, and “Rain Drop”, the latter featuring umbrellas as props, creating a visually stunning performance. Another VCR followed, leading into a beautiful ballad segment with “Can’t Help Myself”, “Gold Dust”, and “No Longer”—a touching moment that showcased the group’s vocal prowess and emotional depth.
After another short video interlude, NCT 127 reignited the energy with “Far”, “Kick It”, and “Fact Check”. This pushed the concert into its climactic finale.
Encore and Heartfelt Farewells From NCT 127
As the concert neared its end, an encore VCR began that tied up the story line from the previous VCRs. The notes of “Intro: Wall to Wall” and “Walk”, setting up an emotional encore section. The members took time to talk to the audience, joking that while they wished they could restart the concert, everyone had work the next day. Jaehyun left a special video; this was the beginning of “Meaning of Love” that they performed next
They performed “Time Capsule” before launching into the uplifting “Dreams Come True”, during which they playfully tossed balls into the crowd with their autographs. The night closed with their final goodbyes, where they reflected on the tour and their gratitude for the fans.
Johnny shared a personal thought, mentioning that he had joked with Mark about how happiness is something you have to look for, but the conversation later made him reflect deeply. The members reassured fans that they would continue to improve and release new music. Especially teasing Mark’s upcoming solo album, set to drop on April 7.
Doyoung summed up the tour beautifully, stating that it wasn’t just work for him—it was a journey. He advised fans to take care of themselves by drinking water and getting rest. He then hesitantly told them to take care of themselves, specifically showering after the concert which earned a laugh. The final song, “Promise You”, served as a touching farewell. Surprise post-credits VCR featuring Jaehyun had the audience freeze, as they zoomed into his face with a wink. This definitely made the majority of the audience swoon.
As the last stop of THE MOMENTUM tour, NCT 127’s Los Angeles concert was a fitting conclusion to a journey with their fans. If this concert was any indication, the future of NCT 127 is as bright as ever, and fans can eagerly look forward to what’s next.
