KCON Germany 2024

Soon in Germany: the biggest K-Pop festival

The one and only K-Pop festival named KCON is finally coming to Germany, more precisely to Frankfurt on the Main, known as a financial center and for its trade fair exhibition grounds. The biggest K-Pop festival will take place on the 28th and 29th of September at the well known Frankfurt Trade Fair. The bombastic line-up includes 15 different groups and artists from South Korea with some of them who have never been to Germany before.

The festival is organized by CJ E&M Entertainment, one of the leading Entertainment companies in South Korea. They have been hosting the KCON since 2012 in multiple countries, including the US, Japan, and Australia. After European KCON festivals in Spain, Italy, and France, now, for the first time in KCON history, it is finally coming to Germany!

Let’s get into the details. The festival is divided into four different sections: the KCON Stage, a food and dance area, the Meet and Greet Stage, as well as the M Countdown Stage.

On the 28th of September, the KCON Stage will be in hall 3, where Dreamcatcher [드림캐쳐], izna [이즈나], Lee Young Ji [이영지], ONF [온앤오프], and THE BOYZ [더보이즈] will hold their performances, consisting of four to five songs of each.

Moreover, fan and artist contents, and booth areas will also be provided next to both sides of the KCON Stage. In the afternoon, fans can build a greater connection with their favorite artists and groups at a meet & greet, which will take place in the forum. Throughout the day, visitors can dance to their favorite songs and eat delicious food at the M2 Food Lounge inside of the Agora Hall.

The doors to the M Countdown Stage are planned to open at 7 pm. It offers various live performances from EVNNE [이븐], ILLIT [아일릿], JO1 [ジェイオーワン], KISS OF LIFE [키스 오브 라이프], MIYEON ((G)I-DLE) [미연 ((여자)아이들)], NOWADAYS [나우어데이즈], THE BOYZ, and YUGYEOM (GOT7) [유겸 (갓세븐)] with singer MIYEON from (G)I-DLE and actor HWANG IN YOUP [황인엽] being announced to be the MCs of the show. During M Countdown, chosen fans will have the opportunity to dance together with ILLIT to their song Magnetic, which had gone viral on TikTok, on the Dream Stage.
With everything at the same place, on the 29th of September, EVNNE, JO1, Kep1er [케플러], KISS OF LIFE, and YUGYEOM will perform four to five songs each on the KCON Stage. The meet and greets will take place just like the day before. With the same MCs, this time, the M Countdown Stage will be taken over by Dreamcatcher, izna, Kep1er, KEY (SHINee) [키 (샤이니)], Lee Young Ji, LUN8 [루네이트], and RIIZE [라이즈]. For this day, the Dream Stage will be filled with fans and RIIZE to dance to the group’s popular song Get a Guitar, which is a total mood maker, if I may say so.

German K-Pop fans have eagerly waited for the KCON to come to Germany. In the past twelve years, the festival was mostly held in Asia and the United States. It has been hosted in Europe before, but only four times—twice in Spain and one time in Rome and Paris. Finally, it’s time for Germany and tickets are still available!

If you need any more reason to decide whether you want to go, then here is your cue. Come for your favorite artists and discover groups you probably didn’t know about. This is the best chance you can get to see as many K-Pop artists as possible and there might not be another one in the near future. So, what are you still waiting for?
