KCON LA 2026 just got even more epic.
Last month, entertainment company CJ ENM announced that KCON will return to Los Angeles this summer, Aug. 14-16, as well as its lineup. To continue building excitement, the annual convention celebrating Korean music, beauty, food and culture announced Wednesday (April 22) a new set of artists joining the slate. Five new performers will hit the stage across the three-day convention.
Girl group H//PE Princess and debut members from PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SHINSEKAI will perform on Friday, joining the previously announced NCT 127, KickFlip, &Team and more. The next day, seven-piece boy band MODYSSEY will join acts like ZEROBASEONE, ILLIT and izna. Finally, EVAN — the K-pop solo artist formerly known as Heeseung and previously of ENHYPEN — and Korean and Japanese boy band NEXZ will take to the stage on Sunday alongside TOMORROW x TOGETHER and Allday Project.
KCON LA 2026 wil be EVAN’s first North American solo performance and H//PE Princess, MODYSSEY, NEXZ and PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SHINSEKAI’s first time at the convention. They all join a lineage of incredible KCON LA performers, including SEVENTEEN, RIIZE and aespa.
Since its 2012 debut, KCON has grown into the world’s largest K-pop fan and artist convention. KCON LA 2025 saw more than 100,000 fans for its three days of festivities. KCON LA 2026 will be held in Downtown Los Angeles’ Crypto.com arena and will feature showcases and interactive booths highlighting Korean culture.
