The airport was the first contact between Block B and the Portuguese fans. The boys were able to feel the excitement of the young fans, after hours waiting for them. They arrived on the night before the concert.
Not being enough, some fans chose to sleep at the venue entrance for 2 or 3 nights, hoping to be the first to enter. As the concert was getting closer, more and more fans appeared on the tiny little street where cars passing by was somewhat, a problem.
LX Factory (the venue) it’s actually like a little village, where you can find a bit of everything like restaurants, hairdressers, shops and if you really want, you can even do your tattoo there. A hostel inside LX Factory was exclusively closed for Block B’s preparations for the concert which was only a few feet away. Some fans were surprised to see them on the street while going to the bathroom, or even taking photos on the stairs of the hostel.
Later in the afternoon, fans returned crying from the rehearsal gifted by MyMusicTaste as they had to wait for a few more hours for the real concert. When it finally happened, Portuguese fans were ecstatic. The great investment from MyMusicTaste in this concert was amazing and provided a great night for the fans. Block B were not expecting so much energy as they confessed later on the concert. Through translation PO confessed they weren’t expecting a lot of people, but they 'didn’t need to worry after all’.
Jaehyo also demonstrated his surprise through an instagram video, where you can see Portuguese fans singing Toy without the artists on stage, being one of the best moments of the night.
Not being an ordinary concert, Zico mentioned in an interview that "The audience's hot reaction is awesome, I want to go to Korea and definitely recommend Portuguese performances to other K-pop singers."
Some photos from their Instagram account:
PO got sick right after the Portuguese concert not being able to sing in the next two concerts:
“Hello, this is Seven Seasons.
We regret to inform you that P.O will not be able to participate in the Budapest and London shows of the "Block B 2017 LIVE BLOCKBUSTER IN EUROPE" due to health issues.
However, the six other members will make sure that the two remaining shows will be amazing.
We kindly ask for European BBCs' understanding in this situation.”
