HYBE Unveils Full Lineup for 2026 Weverse Con Festival, Its Biggest Yet
By HQ
HYBE has confirmed the complete lineup for the 2026 Weverse Con Festival, and it's the largest the annual event has seen. Thirty artists are set to perform across two days at KSPO DOME and the 88 Lawn Field at Olympic Park in Seoul on 6–7 June.
The final wave of additions includes ZICO, LE SSERAFIM, and aoen from within the HYBE roster, alongside HIGHLIGHT, Ha Hyun Sang, and others. Virtual idol group PLAVE also features – one of the more intriguing names on a bill that spans a genuinely wide spectrum.
AND2BLE, the group formed from the ashes of ZB1, are also on the lineup. For a group still finding their footing on the live circuit, a festival of this scale is a significant early platform.
Japanese group CUTIE STREET round out the international contingent – a notable inclusion for a group that has been building a following beyond Japan off the back of their debut song "Kawaii Dake ja Dame Desu ka?" and a subsequent Korean-language version. Their Seoul run, CUTIE STREET Live in Korea 2026 SUMMER, follows in late July.
ENHYPEN also return to the festival stage, continuing to reestablish themselves as a six-piece following Heeseung's departure – one of the more closely watched storylines in the group's fanbase heading into the summer.
The booking that will generate the most speculation, though, is SOOBIN of TOMORROW X TOGETHER, who is listed as a solo act separate from the group. It's a billing that invites questions. YEONJUN became the first TXT member to release a solo album when No Labels: Part 01 dropped last November, and whether Weverse Con is simply a one-off solo stage for SOOBIN or a signal of something more in the pipeline remains unconfirmed – HYBE has not announced any solo project from him.
Headlining the festival's Tribute Stage is RAIN, one of K-pop's most enduring solo figures. The stage is designed to honour artists whose influence has shaped the genre, and will incorporate performances from other artists interpreting his catalogue across generations. KIM JAEJOONG is also on the bill – another artist whose influence stretches back to the genre's formative years.
The full lineup spans a deliberately wide range, from emotionally resonant ballad acts to genre-defining idol groups, in keeping with what Weverse Con has positioned itself as: a festival for audiences who don't all want the same thing.
Ticket sales open on 23 April via Weverse membership pre-sale, with general sales following on 24 April.
