HYBE's large-scale music festival, the Weverse Con Festival (Weverse Con), will be held in New Delhi, India, on March 27 and 28 next year.

This marks the first time the event, which first began in 2023, will be held overseas.

HYBE introduced, "'Weverse Con Festival India' is a festival where K-pop and Indian music, as well as the fan cultures of both countries, meet in one place," adding, "Top-tier K-pop artists traversing the globe and local Indian artists will fill the stage for two days."

In addition to the performances, fan-participatory events and K-pop culture experience programs will be provided.

Since establishing its Indian subsidiary last year, HYBE has been pouring efforts into local fan exchanges, such as holding auditions in 23 cities across the region and hosting fan experience events.

HYBE stated, "'Weverse Con Festival India' will serve as a venue where the 'multi-home, multi-genre' strategy aimed at promoting the convergence and synergy between local and K-pop cultures is realized, and it will be a celebration for Indian fans who have supported K-pop and its artists," adding, "We will make it a festival that further richly expands HYBE's global entertainment ecosystem."

The lineup of performers for "Weverse Con Festival India" will be unveiled this month.
