The wait is finally over for European &Heart! On Monday, 18th May 2026, the highly anticipated 2026 ONE PACT WORLD TOUR in Europe [OUTSHINE] officially kicked off, choosing London as its very first stop. Taking the stage at the Islington Assembly Hall, this marked the group’s first-ever performance in the UK, and the energy in the room was electric right from the start.
ONE PACT has come a long way since their powerful debut. First capturing global attention as standout contestants on the survival show Boys Planet, the group—consisting of Jongwoo, Seongmin, TAG, Yedam, and Jay Chang—quickly proved themselves as talented, self-produced idols. While Jay Chang unfortunately could not join the lineup for this European tour due to his other schedules, the remaining four members brought more than enough passion and energy to fill the stage.
Their artistic growth was brilliantly displayed earlier this year in February, when they returned with their second mini-album, 1’ONLY. Showcasing a much more mature and refined sound, tracks like “SANE” proved that ONE PACT is a force to be reckoned with.
We have been following their journey closely, and it was a pleasure to sit down and interview the group some time ago during their Pink Crush promotions. Seeing them transition from that era to the massive international stage they commanded in London has been incredible.
Before the main show even began, the excitement was already building across the city. Here is how the night unfolded.
After a short intro video, ONE PACT lit up the stage with a powerful mash-up of O.P + GOAT, followed by FXX OFF. It was a strong starting set that led into a short greeting from the group. They didn’t want to waste too much time speaking, though, as they were incredibly excited to perform for their fans at this massive European tour opener.
100! was up next. I personally love this song and it was such a treat seeing it live; I have a great attachment to this track, probably because it’s the song related to the interview we did together during that promotion period. B2U followed right after, and then ONE PACT took a brief moment to introduce themselves properly before jumping into the next set.
They continued the show with Blind and the iconic YES, NO, MAYBE, wrapping up that specific set with Pull Up and DESERVED. The members then took another moment to enjoy interacting with the crowd before performing Lucky, WILD, and Vampire (special track).
One of the ultimate highlights of the night was TAG’s solo stage with a cover of Radiohead’s Creep. It was so sweet—TAG was holding a red rose, the staging was beautiful, and the fans all sang along. The rest of the members then rejoined TAG on stage to continue the show with I Still Do and Sane. Unfortunately, the main set was coming to an end, closing out with DO U FXXXING LOVE ME—and what a way to finish, complete with some amazing confetti!
After a short pause, it was time for the encore, which was something that couldn’t be missed. It started in a very cute way, with a “video call” from backstage projected onto the main screen. It was so funny and well thought out! It was completely new to me, and I found it to be the perfect way for them to get closer to the fans.
They opened the encore with Never Stop, after which they thanked the fans and took the classic group photo with the crowd. They then continued with CONFESSION and Signal.
But it wasn’t over yet! ONE PACT surprised everyone by performing an extra song—a brand-new, unreleased track from an upcoming project. It is very bubbly and a song you can easily vibe to. It was so nice to hear it live, and I can’t wait for the official release. Unfortunately, that truly wrapped up the night.
That was all from ONE PACT’s show in London! I was so pleased to finally be able to see them live. It was their first time performing in London, and they truly showed exactly what they are capable of. I really look forward to their upcoming new work, and hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long for it!
