KCON is returning to the Los Angeles Convention Center and Crypto.com Arena this summer, bringing the heat with its 2023 lineup announced on Wednesday (June 14).
ATEEZ, CRAVITY, (G)I-DLE, INI, ITZY, IVE, JO1, Kep1er, Lapillus, SHOWNU X HYUNGWON (from MONSTA X), NMIXX, Rain, Stray Kids, TAEMIN, TAEYONG, THE BOYZ, WayV, xikers, ZEROBASEONE and EVERGLOW are all set to take the stage during the three-day event on August 18 to 20.
Show attendees will be able to enjoy performances, collaborative stages, fan-engaging events, panels, workshops and the return of the Dream Stage, according to a release. The convention portion of the weekend will also reflect 2023’s theme, “BE A KCONer,” by featuring various “missions” to take attendees on a journey through the world of K-culture.
KCON LA 2023 will be presented by Samsung Galaxy as the title sponsor.
Additionally, after making its debut at KCON Japan 2023, “SHOWCASE: NICE TO MEET U” will come to KCON LA to showcase K-pop artists and new performances.
Last year, KCON 2022 Los Angeles reported more than 90,000 fans in attendance in its first in-person event since 2019 — a major hurdle to jump over as KCON celebrates 10 years in the SoCal area.
