KCON LA 2025 Returns to Los Angeles with a Star-Studded Lineup and New Experiences
KCON, the world’s largest celebration of K-pop, is set to make a triumphant return to the birthplace of its global boom — Los Angeles. From August 1 to 3, 2025, fans will gather at the Crypto.com Arena and the Los Angeles Convention Center for a weekend of music, connection, and unforgettable experiences under the banner of KCON LA 2025.
This year’s theme, “KLOVER’S CLUB FAIR,” hints at a festival-style playground reimagined for passionate K-pop fans, complete with vibrant club environments and dynamic stage evolutions. KCON LA 2025 promises more than your standard convention — it will feature the Festival Grounds, filled with interactive booths and surprise activities, the debut of the X Stage for exclusive fan performances, and the ever-popular Artist Stage, offering fans the chance to experience intimate, time-slotted shows by their favorite stars.
Last year, KCON made history by becoming the first-ever K-pop festival to air nationwide during U.S. primetime on The CW Network. KCON LA 2025 aims to continue that momentum with a richer, more immersive experience crafted exclusively for its U.S. audience.
The first wave of the artist lineup has been officially announced, spotlighting 11 powerhouse names in the K-pop industry. Slated to perform are: CRAVITY, Seventeen’s Hoshi and Woozi (HxW), IS:SUE, IVE, IZ*ONE, JO1, Lee Young-ji, NMIXX, P1Harmony, Roy Kim, and ZEROBASEONE, each bringing their signature flair and showmanship to electrify the KCON stage. The lineup is listed in alphabetical order for fans eagerly mapping out their must-see acts.
KCON LA 2025 isn’t just a concert, it’s a global rendezvous point where fans and artists connect in deeper, more meaningful ways. By fusing next-gen stage designs and interactive fan programs, KCON continues to lead the global K-pop movement and shape its cultural impact around the globe.
