Weverse’s music festival, 2023 Weverse Con Festival, will feature American singer-songwriter Jeremy Zucker, Zico, boy bands Tomorrow X Together, Enhypen and BTOB, girl groups NewJeans, Le Sserafim and fromis_9, and many more, the organizers Weverse Company announced Wednesday.

Planned to be held at the KSPO Dome and 88 Lawn Field at the Olympic Park in Songpa District, southern Seoul, on June 10 and 11, the festival will be joined by artists Hwang Min-hyun, Hyolyn, Xia, Lee Hyun, Baekho, Bumzu and Dvwn, and bands Lightsum, Moonchild and &Team.

The festival will also feature BoyNextDoor, the first boy band produced by KOZ Entertainment — the agency established by rapper and producer Zico — that is scheduled to debut on May 30.

Weverse Con Festival will be divided into three parts: Weverse Con, Weverse Park and Live Play.

Weverse Con will be the main festival held at the KSPO Dome. Weverse Park is the outdoor leg of the festival, held at the 88 Lawn Field with an outdoor stage. Once the outdoor performances end at 4:30 p.m., the field will be transformed into “Live Play,” a place to watch the ongoing indoor performances.

88 Lawn Park will feature a standing zone, which is available for reservation only through the Weverse queueing service.

The two-day pass, priced at 297,000 won ($222), will only be available through raffles, open only to fans with eligible fan club memberships of the following artists: Baekho, BTOB, Enhypen, fromis_9, Hwang Min-hyun, Kim Jun-su, Le Sserafim, NewJeans, Tomorrow X Together and &Team.

One-day passes will be available through both raffles and general reservations.

Two-day passes for the festival give access to both performances in the KSPO Dome and 88 Lawn Field, followed by a one-day pass priced at 176,000 won. A one-day Green Pass, giving access to Weverse Park and Live Play performances only, is priced at 110,000 won, and a one-day Live Play pass at 55,000 won, which gives access only to the Live Play performances at the 88 Lawn Field.

All tickets will be sold on ticket sales platform Interpark Ticket, including the winners of raffles.
