At noon on the 22nd, through the social media accounts of Sound Planet Festival and Rolling Hall, four acts were newly added to the lineup: Xdinary Heroes, Red C, akuruyo-sheep, and Joha.
The surprise-revealed fourth lineup for ‘Sound Planet Festival 2026’ includes Xdinary Heroes, who performed on both days at last year’s Sound Planet Festival and left a strong impression on the audience, heightening fans’ anticipation. At that time, they presented a special collaborative stage with YB, one of South Korea’s leading rock bands, drawing attention for a set rarely seen at other festivals.
The Japanese band akuruyo-sheep likewise received an enthusiastic response with a distinctive set during their appearance at last year’s Sound Planet Festival. In March, they visited Korea as opening guests for shows by Crying Nut and Macguffin, leaving a strong impression on local music fans, and with a major debut in Japan scheduled for this August, they are expected to meet audiences again with an even more mature presence.
‘Red C’, also newly announced, met domestic audiences for the first time through a Rolling Hall show in May, making a mark with fresh energy and a distinctive performance. In addition, singer-songwriter Joha (JOHA) is expanding their reach, building a musical world of their own through genre-crossing experimentation and a captivating tone.
CEO Kim Cheon-seong said, “This edition of Sound Planet Festival was selected as an excellent content project in the Korea Creative Content Agency’s popular music performance production support program, and we have made even greater efforts in programming so that it will be a festival offering richer and more diverse attractions for audiences. We also hope it will be a space that presents stages which, along with the joy of discovering new artists, leave a deep impression on audiences.”
Meanwhile, among this year’s ‘Sound Planet Festival’ lineup, the Japanese band ZUTOMAYO is drawing attention as this is their first appearance at a festival in Korea. They have proven their presence by taking the main stages of Japan’s major music festivals Fuji Rock Festival and Summer Sonic, and through an arena tour in Japan they have attracted about 120,000 attendees, making them a leading J-POP band.
In the previously announced lineup, in addition to ZUTOMAYO, artists representing Korea and abroad such as UVERworld, Kim Junsu (XIA), YB, Guckkasten, Urban Zakapa, and Damons Year were included, drawing strong interest from music fans. Tickets can be reserved via Melon Ticket, and for global audiences they can also be purchased through Damai Ticket and Maiseat in China, and Eplus in Japan. Further details are available on the official website and social media channels.
