SBS Gayo Daejeon Returns This Summer: Set for August 9 at KINTEX

This summer’s can’t-miss mega music festival for K-pop fans, the "2026 SBS Gayo Daejeon," has locked in its date and venue.

On April 17, SBS announced that the "2026 SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer" will take place on August 9 at KINTEX in Ilsan.

While the "Gayo Daejeon" is traditionally a year-end K-pop staple, SBS has been mounting a summer edition as well, cementing it as a go-to seasonal festival for fans. Now in its third year, "Gayo Daejeon Summer" is teasing even bigger performances and refreshingly cool stage production.

Top-tier artists who dominated the first half of 2026 at home and abroad will come together for special stages you won’t see on regular broadcasts.

The artist lineup for "Gayo Daejeon Summer" will be revealed in phases.
