NOL Festival 2026
Oct 17, 2026 – Oct 18, 2026 · KINTEX, Ilsan, Goyang
NOL Festival runs across two days and several stages at the KINTEX exhibition halls in Ilsan, splitting a K-pop stage, an EDM stage and a general live stage. The unusual part is the price: the K-pop and EDM stages are ticketed but free, which for a festival of this size is rare in Korea. Free does not mean walk-in — you still need to claim a ticket in advance, and they go.

Getting there
Tickets
Tickets in Korea sell through Korean platforms (Interpark Global, Melon Ticket, Yes24) and popular shows sell out fast. Buy only from the seller named in the official announcement — resold tickets are routinely voided by identity checks at the door.
