Korea's music fans are in for a treat as the cooler months approach, with a stellar lineup of international artists scheduled to perform across the country. From Grammy-winning pop sensations to legendary rock bands making their long-awaited return, the upcoming concert season promises to deliver unforgettable performances for music lovers of all genres.
Danish singer-songwriter Christopher will kick off the international concert wave on September 6 at the KSPO Dome in Songpa-gu, southern Seoul. The artist, who has captured Korean hearts with his mega-hit "Bad," last performed in Seoul in August of the previous year at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium. Christopher has demonstrated a genuine affection for Korea over the years, first winning over local audiences at the 2017 Seoul Jazz Festival before holding his inaugural solo concert in the country in 2019.
The Danish performer's connection to Korea runs deep, as evidenced by his return to the Seoul Jazz Festival in 2023 following the COVID-19 pandemic. His dedication to Korean fans was further showcased in the music video for his 2019 single "Real Life," which prominently features footage from his Korean concert performances alongside stunning Korean landscapes, including captivating nighttime shots of Gwanghwamun and Gangnam districts.
October will bring two major highlights to Korea's concert calendar, starting with the legendary British rock band Oasis on October 21 at Goyang Sports Complex, located just an hour's drive northwest of central Seoul. This highly anticipated performance is part of the band's Oasis Live '25 world tour and represents their first live show in Korea since their split in 2009. The band previously graced Korean stages in 2006 and 2009, making this reunion tour particularly significant for long-time fans.
American rapper Travis Scott will make his Korean debut on October 25, also performing at Goyang Sports Complex. Known for his high-energy performances, innovative genre-blending music, and chart-topping hits including "Sicko Mode" and "Goosebumps," Scott's concert comes with age restrictions. According to Live Nation Korea, the concert organizer, attendance is limited to those born before October 25, 2006.
As winter approaches, Grammy-winning artist Doja Cat is set to heat up the season with her first solo concert in Korea on December 13. The performance will take place at Hall 10 of Kintex Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. The singer-songwriter, celebrated for her Grammy-winning track "Kiss Me More" and the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper "Say So," will perform for an exclusively adult audience, as the concert is restricted to attendees aged 19 and older. This age restriction reflects the mature content and themes often present in Doja Cat's performances and music.
