DAY6, legendary Japanese rock band ONE OK ROCK, and emotional diva MIKA NAKASHIMA have joined the major Korea-Japan music festival "XMF 2026," completing a golden lineup.
On the 12th, the XMF organizing committee announced the second lineup for "XMF 2026 (Xnterstellar Music Festival 2026)," which will be held Oct. 3-4 at Incheon Paradise City.
According to the released lineup, MIKA NAKASHIMA will take the stage on the first day of the festival, Oct. 3, while DAY6 and ONE OK ROCK will perform on the second day, Oct. 4, showcasing live performances that will cross the sea between the two countries.
Thus, on the first day, Oct. 3, 11 prominent artists from both Korea and Japan — Ado, Lucy, Younha, coldrain, FTISLAND, MIKA NAKASHIMA, hrtz.wav, My Hair is Bad, Novelbright, ONEWE, and PEOPLE 1 — will splendidly decorate the opening day stage.
On Oct. 4, DAY6 and ONE OK ROCK will be joined by YB, Ae! group, Hi-Fi Un!corn, Marcy, Saucy Dog, THE FIX, and YURINA HIRATE, promising to unleash intense energy.
Debuting this year, "XMF 2026" is a large-scale global joint festival created by the music industries of Korea and Japan working together. The XMF organizing committee and the NPO Japan-Korea Cultural Exchange Association are co-hosting, and the Cultural & Entertainment Industry Promotion Association (CEIPA) and the Federation of Music Producers Japan (FMPJ) are providing official support, promising solid completeness.
Global fans' enthusiasm is also intense. The limited two-day tickets, which went on sale on the 3rd, sold out rapidly as soon as they opened, proving the strong interest of music fans from both countries in the festival.
Meanwhile, the XMF organizing committee plans to reveal the third lineup on Sept. [sic].
