'2026 LOVESOME festival' has unveiled the final lineup that will complete this spring.
The festival, held April 11-12 at Inspire Discovery Park, takes the book of the year, "Joseon Art Museum," as its theme.
The previously announced first lineup featured numerous artists representing emotion. Singer-songwriter Roy Kim, vocalist Jung Seung-hwan with a deep resonance, unique-voiced Wheein, lyrical-sentiment artist Ha Hyun Sang, Isaac Hong, who has unfolded a delicate musical world, band Touchd with explosive band sound, the intense rock energy of Geukdong Asia Tigers, and Seodo Band, which connects tradition and modernity with the genre "Joseon-pop," joined, completing LOVESOME's distinctive emotional lineup with a total of eight acts.
The subsequently announced final lineup added artists who possess both mass appeal and topicality. Leading with ONE TOP RIIZE, which opened a new era in the K-pop scene by recording consecutive hits based on its unique genre "emotional pop," and Highlight, which demonstrates the standard of K-pop stages with singular live performances built on numerous hit songs, the lineup also includes artist Rothy, who paints the heart with a voice that flows like a wave, KIK, which naturally triggers the explosive unity of three toward one, and singer-songwriter Song Sohee, who carries roaming inner stories and freely swims in search of her own color, once again proving LOVESOME's distinctive genre expansiveness and planning capability.
Singer-songwriter Jang Beomjune, who sings everyday emotions and the textures of the seasons, singer-songwriter 10CM, who sings refreshing youth with vivid stories and sweet melodies, and duo MeloMance, which completes the gaze of beautiful love as a single work with unique skill and mass appeal, were added, bringing the final lineup to a total of 16 acts that span tradition and modernity and include both idols and singer-songwriters.
This year, LOVESOME unfolds in the outdoor plaza of Inspire Discovery Park, which has recently been attracting attention as a new mecca for global K-pop performances. From emotional ballads to idol performances, modern rock band sounds, and stages that connect tradition and modernity, this lineup expands the boundaries of genre and more clearly reveals LOVESOME's identity as a "synesthetic festival of books and music," and, as the organizers have previewed, completes the largest and most accomplished lineup in its history.
