Weverse Con Festival makes its first move outside Korea, landing in New Delhi on 27 and 28 March 2027

HYBE, the company behind BTS, has announced that Weverse Con Festival will be staged outside South Korea for the first time. The two-day festival comes to New Delhi on 27 and 28 March 2027, with K-pop and Indian artists on the same bill.

What it is

Weverse is HYBE's fan platform, the app where artists post, chat and release content for their most devoted followers. Weverse Con Festival is the live version: a multi-act music festival that has so far been held only in and around Seoul, where the 2026 edition ran on 6 and 7 June at the KSPO Dome and the lawn at Seoul Olympic Park. Past Seoul editions have mixed rising groups with names such as SEVENTEEN, TXT, ENHYPEN and LE SSERAFIM.

The India edition is billed as the same idea with a local twist: live sets, fan activities, brand activations and what the organisers call special collaboration stages that bring Indian and Korean artists together.

The details so far

• Dates: 27 and 28 March 2027
• City: New Delhi. The venue has not been announced.
• Promoter: BookMyShow Live is co-producing and promoting the festival, and tickets will be sold only through BookMyShow.
• Partners: Kia India, Mastercard, Project B and Samsung are on board. Mastercard cardholders will get pre-sale access.
• Lineup and prices: not yet announced. Neither is the on-sale date.

HYBE chief executive Jason Jaesang Lee said in the announcement that the festival "marks a new chapter" in the company's "multi-home, multi-genre" strategy. Weverse Company president Zooil Yang spoke of taking the platform's fan experiences "beyond the screen".

Why India, and why now

India is already one of K-pop's fastest-growing audiences, and HYBE has been building a base on the ground. It runs a Mumbai arm, HYBE India, which has held auditions in more than ten cities, including Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Guwahati, to find members for a homegrown Indian girl group. A festival that puts Indian artists next to Korean headliners reads as the next step in that plan.

For fans, the practical question is who actually flies in. With no lineup out, anyone hoping for a particular group should treat the date as a placeholder for hope, not a promise. We will update this story when the artists and ticket dates are confirmed.
