The line-up includes ARTMS, Dabin.kr, ENHYPEN, FIFTY FIFTY and Ten.
Brace yourself, K-Pop fans. K-pop superstars are coming to Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena, as Hyperound K-Fest Abu Dhabi is taking place on 18 April 2026.
Megastars from South Korea’s K-pop scene will be coming to the capital, and it looks like it’s set to be a big one. So far, five famous names have been announced. If you love to bop along to K-pop, then you’ll be thrilled to hear the latest line-up.
Hyperound K-Fest Abu Dhabi’s set list includes ENHYPEN, who were formed on survival show I-LAND, and debuted in 2020 with “Given-Taken” and quickly levelled up via “Drunk-Dazed”, “Tamed-Dashed”, “Bite Me” and “Sweet Venom”. The seven-member group has built a global touring base and sustained Billboard 200 momentum with multiple top-10 album debuts.
Ten, the Thai pop powerhouse is prized for razor-sharp dance lines and versatile vocals. His SM Station singles “Dream in a Dream”, “New Heroes” and “Paint Me Naked” paved the way for his 2024 solo EP TEN.
FIFTY FIFTY will also perform, having broken through globally with “Cupid”, a viral pop hit that cracked both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK top 10. After a turbulent legal saga, the group relaunched in 2024 and returned with the Love Tune era, spotlighting “Starry Night”, “SOS” and fan favourite “Gravity” for new listeners.
Dabin.kr is Hong Da-bin, the Korean rapper behind mood-lit staples like “Jasmine”, “Martini Blue” and “Kiss Me”. He built cult status with Coming To You Live, Her and Is Anybody Out There?. In late 2023, he rebranded as Dabin, launching CTYL and the 2024 album Giggles.
Elsewhere, ARTMS unites five former LOONA members under Modhaus, turning reinvention into its own mythology. They debuted in May 2024 with studio album DALL and shimmering lead single “Virtual Angel”. Pre-release tracks “Birth”, “Flower Rhythm”, “Candy Crush” and “Air” teased the palette, before the Moonshot tour took off globally.
If you don’t live in Abu Dhabi, there’s an easier way to join the fun. The organisers are organising a shuttle bus between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, hoping to attract new audiences and encourage concert-goers to leave their cars at home.
Hyperound K-Fest Abu Dhabi tickets are not on sale yet. As there are plenty of K-pop fans in the region, enthusiasm is recommended, but setting a reminder alarm is necessary. The tickets go on sale on 22 December.
