KCON is officially back and bigger than ever! Entertainment powerhouse CJ ENM has revealed the full artist lineup for KCON LA 2026, set to take over Crypto.com Arena and the Los Angeles Convention Center from August 14 to 16.
Leading this year’s highly anticipated M COUNTDOWN STAGE are some of K-pop’s biggest names, including NCT 127, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, and ZEROBASEONE. They’ll be joined by a dynamic mix of global acts such as ILLIT, P1Harmony, TREASURE, JO1, and rising names like MEOVV and ALLDAY PROJECT. Solo performances from TAEYONG and YEONJUN add even more star power to the three-day event.
Since its launch in 2012, KCON has grown into a global phenomenon, blending live music with immersive cultural experiences. This year’s theme, “Walk in SOUL CITY,” invites fans to explore a vibrant, city-inspired festival celebrating all things Korean, from beauty and food to storytelling and lifestyle.
Beyond the main stage, KCON LA 2026 will expand its festival grounds with multiple stages including ARTIST STAGE, X STAGE, and DANCE STAGE. The returning SHOWCASE on X STAGE will spotlight emerging talent such as ONE PACT, RESCENE, and So!YoON!, continuing KCON’s tradition of introducing rising stars to a global audience.
KCON EXPRESS presale tickets will be available from April 1 through April 2, with general sales opening April 3 via AXS. With an expanded program and a powerhouse lineup, KCON LA 2026 is shaping up to be one of the biggest celebrations of Korean culture yet.
