KCON LA 2025 just got bigger. According to CJ ENM, aespa, NCT 127, and MONSTA X are confirmed as part of the second lineup for the upcoming KCON LA 2025, taking place August 1–3 at Crypto.com Arena and LA Convention Center.
As a global festival celebrating Korean pop culture with music at its heart, this year’s KCON will be held under the theme “Klover’s Club Fair.”
Alongside the big names, artists like Hwa Sa, SHINee’s Key, Kiss of Life, Miyawaki Sakura, NOWADAYS, RIIZE, and (G)I-DLE’s Yuqi will also appear. The first lineup previously announced includes CRAVITY, SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi & Woozi, Lee Young-ji, IVE, J01, NMIXX, P1Harmony, Roy Kim, and ZEROBASEONE.
Last year, KCON became the first K-pop festival to be broadcast nationwide in the U.S. during primetime via the CW Network. Following the success of KCON Japan 2025, which drew over 110,000 fans, the LA edition is expected to be another landmark event.
Since its inception in 2012 in Irvine, KCON has grown into a global festival, drawing over 2.1 million fans across 14 countries.
Fan Reactions:

“KCON LA 2025 lineup is seriously next level.”
