K-Pop fans get ready, as Europe’s biggest ever K-Pop festival is heading to the UK for an exciting three-day event.
KPOP.FLEX will be taking place at London’s The O2 from September 22 to 24, 2023 following the success of its inaugural event in Frankfurt last weekend (May 14-15).
The festival will take advantage of many of The O2’s facilities, with activities planned at a number of the arena’s venues, including indigo at The O2.
Fans will be able to immerse themselves not only in K-Pop, but also Korean culture.
The event in Frankfurt saw 65,000 fans enjoying acts such as Kai, Mamamoo, Dreamcatcher and IVE across the Saturday and Sunday.
