A variety of attractions, including a listening zone and busking performances
The 2026 Seoul Music Festival will be held on October 24 at Nodeul Island, whose waterfront has recently been renovated. Launched in 2019, the Seoul Music Festival is a signature music festival where citizens and tourists alike can enjoy music for free in an open space and experience the charm of Seoul.
Nodeul Island, the venue for this year's festival, is set to be transformed into the "Nodeul Global Art Island" by 2030. The waterfront area, where construction was completed first, opened to the public last September.
The Seoul Music Festival's main performances will begin at 5 p.m. The festival will bring generations together through music in a range of genres, including fusion rock, ballads and folk. The lineup includes Chu Da-hye Chagis, Nerd Connection, Kwon Jin-ah, Rooftop Moonlight, Paul Kim and the Kim Chang-wan Band, with GLL performing in the opening set.
In addition to the main performances, the festival will offer activities for citizens, including an album exhibition and listening zone organized in collaboration with the Korean Music Awards, busking performances and music talk shows. The activities will run from noon at Nodeul Square on Nodeul Island, where photo booths and karaoke facilities will also be available.
Advance tickets, made available on a first-come, first-served basis on September 30, sold out in just one minute, demonstrating the festival's huge popularity. Early reservations also closed for Seoul Sarang Donghaeng Seats, dedicated seating for large families who may find it difficult to attend performances with young children, socially vulnerable people and international visitors.
Tickets for the main performances are now sold out, but standing-room viewing may be available in some open areas, depending on conditions at the venue. Citizens who cannot attend in person can watch a live broadcast on Live Seoul. Anyone can take part in the festival activities by visiting the venue at the scheduled times.
