Nov. 7-8 at Gocheok Dome: 2026 KGMA Lineup Hits 27 Acts

If you're an overseas K-pop fan planning a winter concert trip to Korea, here's a date to circle. The "2026 Korea Grand Music Awards (KGMA)" will be held over two days, November 7 (Sat) and 8 (Sun), at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul.

As of September 15, three waves of lineup announcements have named a total of 27 acts. The first wave (announced September 4) included RIIZE, ATEEZ, CRAVITY and TREASURE, among 10 acts; the second (September 7) added Young K, LUCY and eight others; the third (September 11) named ITZY, tripleS, Billlie and four more.

A fourth and a special lineup have not yet been revealed, and as of this writing, the ticket sale date, platform and prices have also not been announced. Since there's historically been a gap between lineup reveals and ticket sales opening, it's worth checking official channels regularly.

Overseas fans typically buy tickets to Korean concerts through channels that support international shipping or overseas payment, such as Interpark Global, Weverse or Yes24.

Which of these will serve as KGMA's official ticket vendor hasn't been announced yet, though, so the safer move is to set up accounts on these platforms in advance and wait for the official announcement rather than committing to one now.

The venue, Gocheok Sky Dome, is about a 3-minute walk from Exit 2 of Guil Station on Subway Line 1. Guil Station tends to get heavily congested right after shows end, so for a smoother exit, it can help to walk one stop further to Guro or Gaebong Station instead.

Knowing in advance that there's typically a lag between the lineup announcement and ticket sales can help you avoid missing a suddenly-opened ticket window and having your entire trip plan fall apart. Korea Tourism Times Editorial Desk
