Free performances at Salgoji Sports Park soccer field from 4 p.m. Friday, with up to four tickets per person available for advance registration; Dynamic Duo and other top and emerging hip-hop artists will perform, and 17 hip-hop culture experience booths will be on offer.
Seoul's Seongdong-gu will host the 2026 Seongdong Hip-Hop Festival at the Salgoji Sports Park soccer field starting at 4 p.m. Friday.
The outdoor music festival is designed to let people of all ages experience the free-spirited energy and culture of hip-hop, with a lineup of both established and up-and-coming Korean hip-hop artists taking the stage.
The show opens with a DJ set by Dead End Crew, followed by performances from Since, from20, HELLO GLOOM, Luci Gang, Fleeky Bang, Tray B and Yung Blesh. Dynamic Duo will close out the night as the headline act, bringing the festival to its peak.
Starting at 1 p.m., ahead of the main performances, 17 experience booths will offer hands-on hip-hop culture activities — face painting and skateboard performances among them — giving visitors plenty to enjoy while they wait for the show.
Admission is free. Advance tickets — up to four per person — are available through the Seongdong Cultural Foundation website to ensure safe and orderly entry. Walk-ins will also be admitted on the day depending on remaining capacity and on-site safety conditions. For more information, visitors can check the foundation's website or call directly.
"We put this festival together so that everyone, across all generations, can enjoy the freedom and passion of hip-hop," Seongdong-gu District Mayor Yoo Bo-hwa said. "We will keep expanding cultural events where anyone can come together, have fun and connect."
