2026 Seoul Music Festival

Seoul is home to countless people, diverse tastes, and an equally diverse array of music. For some, there’s a song that has stayed with them for a long time; for others, there’s music waiting to be discovered. The 2026 Seoul Music Festival presents “Seoul-style music curation,” which connects different types of music, people, and generations into a single flow. This year, the Seoul Music Festival is creating an even more profound musical experience through a collaboration with the Korean Popular Music Awards. From performances by award-winning and nominated artists of the Korean Popular Music Awards—recognized for their artistic and musical excellence—to popular artists beloved by the public, musicians presenting new sounds, and legends who have been cherished across generations, you can experience a diverse range of music all in one place.
