HYBE, the Korean entertainment conglomerate known for groundbreaking acts like BTS and SEVENTEEN, is set to expand its flagship music festival, Weverse Con Festival, to India for the first time. Scheduled for March 27 and 28 in New Delhi, the event marks the inaugural overseas edition of Weverse Con Festival, which has been held solely in Korea since its inception in 2023.
HYBE India will collaborate with the festival organizers, bringing together top K-pop artists alongside renowned Indian musicians, culminating in a two-day celebration of music.
This marks a significant milestone for both HYBE and the Indian music scene, as Weverse Con Festival breaks its territorial boundaries for the first time since its launch. Initially featuring 20 acts in its debut year, the festival has expanded to accommodate 30 acts this year, signaling a growing diversity and appeal. The lineup for the India debut will be revealed in October, further building anticipation for this culturally rich event.
Beyond the live performances, Weverse Con Festival India will offer fan participation events and programs, providing attendees with unique opportunities to immerse themselves in K-pop culture beyond the concert stage. The festival's design emphasizes bridging the gap between K-pop and Indian music, aiming to create a harmonious fusion of these two vibrant music cultures.
By bringing together fan communities from both regions, HYBE envisions Weverse Con Festival India as a platform for cultural exchange and musical innovation.
