Every spring, the ‘2026 LOVESOME Festival’, which has delivered a unique sensibility through the harmony of music and books, will welcome audiences at Inspire Discovery Park from April 11 to 12.

Following the event announcement, the first lineup revealed eight skilled acts that represent Korean music, sending anticipation to a peak.

This initial lineup stands out for a perfect balance that spans sentiment and energy. Joining are singer-songwriter Roy Kim, who evokes romance across all four seasons, and Jung Seung-hwan, who adds narrative to songs with a sincere voice and sensibility, along with trusted all-rounder Wheein with a distinctive tone and Ha Hyunsang, who paints delicate lyrics over an original sound, all heralding the romance of spring.

Singer-songwriter Hong Isaac, who leaves a lingering resonance with many colors, and TOUCHED, which moves audiences while boasting an overwhelming sound, are followed by a lineup that suits the book of the year Joseon Museum of Art. The band Far East Asia Tigers, which sings memories with intense energy, and Seodo Band, which is creating new contemporary popular music with ‘Joseon pop’, will join to present a diverse musical spectrum.

This year, the festival has chosen Inspire Discovery Park, equipped with state-of-the-art performance infrastructure, as its stage, drawing attention. Here, newly noted as a global K-POP mecca, a large-scale outdoor exhibition and performance that reinterpret the classical aesthetics of the book of the year ‘Joseon Museum of Art’ through a modern sensibility will unfold. Audiences are expected to experience the essence of a festival that is both the most Korean and trend-forward in a plaza transformed into a vast Joseon art museum.

Having set new standards for festivals each season with dazzling lineups, ‘LOVESOME’ has again demonstrated its reputation by announcing a first lineup that captures both popularity and musicality. Long remembered for symbolic stages by artists with global fandoms, this initial reveal is once again drawing the attention of the festival scene as top artists worthy of the legacy built by past performers join the roster.

In addition, following a first lineup that set hearts racing, the second lineup to be revealed later is said to foreshadow an unprecedented roster that surpasses the renown of last year.

Ticket sales for the ‘2026 LOVESOME Festival’, which is drawing attention with a lineup more lavish and grand than ever, will proceed through Yes24 Ticket and NOL Ticket, and further details can be found via SNS.
