NMIXX (8 June, Hordern Pavilion)
Jun. 9th, 2025 03:31 pmAfter performing in Sydney a couple of years ago, on a festival line up with The Boyz and Infinite, it was great to see NMIXX back again for a full concert - this time including a show in Melbourne, Lily's hometown. For this show at the Hordern, it was full though not totally sold out on this cold winter's night. On entry we were handed some freebies: an official poster and pc (I got Jiwoo), and a fan freebie with a bracelet.
The theme of the show was a science lab, which resulted in some utterly dorky and silly VCRs with the girls mixing up potions with themes such as "love" "rockstar" and "alpha" and drinking them because of an impending bomb or something. It made nil sense!
The show was a lot of fun, they are enjoyable performers and they have some great songs. Lily was so cute, Haewon charmed me (my concert bias!), they all had their moments on stage. The momentum of the show ebbed and flowed somewhat, partly due to an extended games ment, so the pacing could have been tightened up; and I do wish there were more recent songs.
Some moments:

Some moments:
- Lily said she cracked up during one song because Haewon made a silly face at her; and Haewon said she thought she was being cool.
- Lily taught Haewon to say "prawns on the barbie"
- The relay drawing game went on way too long. They did six drawings! SIX! That said it did have some cute moments:
- Lily guessing kangaroo: "So easy! Well there is the other one but you wouldn't know that" (she meant wallaby). Bae was quite good at drawing.
- They collectively drew the worst Sydney opera house good lord but it was cute that they tried to get everyone to sing opera
- The word to guess was 'lawyer'. A mess. An audience member drew a picture for Sullyoon. Chaos - For their cover, they did NCT's Kick It.
- At one point Haewon and Lily sang a bit from 4 Non-Blondes.
- Lily: we're 50 and you're 50 and you gave 100 so together we're 150 yay maths!
- When it was encore time, they walked around in the crowd which was a bad idea in this venue - there's no barriers between any sections, so people were leaving their seats on the floor and in the stands to rush over to them, it was total chaos. Do not recommend.
- In the encore they did cover of 5 Seconds to Summer's She Looks So Perfect which Lily said was an iconic Australian song for her generation lol.
- Lily got her Swiftie fanchant moment by getting the crowd to shout "Sydney!" ala Blank Space.
- Men were yelling at Sullyoon during her ment; she was like okay thanks…
- For Break the Wall they said wave your lightsticks, any lightstick is fine! They spotted a candybong in the crowd.
- For the finale they did neverending Home.
- A few Aussie phrases they left the stage with: you ripper, crikey, and of course Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi.
