The world’s largest and No. 1 K-Pop and K-Culture festival returns in 2024! Entertainment company, CJ ENM, made the exciting announcement that KCON will be returning in 2024 to previously visited locations – Japan, United States, Europe, and Saudi Arabia – and will be holding a festival in Hong Kong for the first time ever! KCON HONG KONG 2024 will be taking place at AsiaWorld-Expo from Saturday, March 30 to Sunday, March 31st. With Hong Kong being the previous home of the MAMA AWARDS, the bustling location ranks 6th in K-Pop album sales and is emerging as a key destination for K-Pop superstars to perform. Similar to KCON in other locations, KCON HONG KONG 2024 will create a multi-faceted event that features concerts and a full convention of exhibitor booths covering many aspects of Korean culture.
Following KCON HONG KONG 2024 will be KCON JAPAN 2024 which will take place from May 10-12 and KCON LA 2024, to be held from July 26-28th. In addition to Hong Kong, Japan, and LA, KCON will also be visiting Europe and Saudi Arabia in the second half of 2024, with dates and more details to be revealed at a later time. With KCON continuing to boom and expand, the scale of the entire event is also expected to grow by reaching larger venues, building out stronger productions, and connecting the artists and fans to interact more closely, with more content and special programming specifically and carefully curated for K-Pop fans and K-Culture lovers to enjoy.
Joon-beom Sim, Head of Music Entertainment at CJ ENM said, “KCON has not only promoted artists’ global expansion, but also led small and medium-sized businesses to advance overseas, and has become a festival venue where K-culture and K-lifestyle can be promoted and experienced. As the platform that unites and interacts with global K-POP fans, KCON this year will continue building on its legacy as a K-POP festival that reflects K-POP’s current status and proposes newness.”
