14 February 2022, London: Having sold 44k tickets in seven weeks, Europe’s biggest ever K-pop festival KPOP.FLEX has added a second day at Deutsche Bank Park Stadium.
Since its unveiling, KPOP.FLEX has ranked as one of 2022’s most anticipated events on the continent, as fan excitement exploded across social media. The new Sunday 15 May date sees the festival enlist the mighty girl group (G)I-DLE, AB6IX and IVE who are set to wow fans over both days. Another trailblazing boy band, ONEUS, will play exclusively on Sunday, joining Monsta X who, due to domestic issues, will now perform on Sunday rather than Saturday.
Saturday Line Up Finalised With EXO’s Kai and AB6IX
The full lineup of K-pop stars has also been finalised for Saturday 14 May 2022. After massive fan speculation, KPOP.FLEX have revealed solo artist Kai, of EXO & Super M, and electrifying boy band AB6IX will join (G)I-DLE, NCT Dream, ENHYPEN, Mamamoo and IVE to ensure the first edition of KPOP.FLEX kicks off in exhilarating style.
However, it’s not just about the lineup at KPOP.FLEX, with ticket buyers having access to a vibrant fan-fest celebrating Korean culture in the grounds of the Deutsche Bank Park stadium. It’s part of a mission to establish the festival as a hub for Europe’s K-pop community.
On the addition of a second date, Deutsche Bank Park MD Patrik Meyer says: “The attraction of the KPOP.FLEX festival is enormous for fans, as the K-Pop wave truly arrives in Europe. The fact that we can offer the fans a second festival day in our modern stadium in Frankfurt, at the heart of Europe, continues to increase the anticipation.”
Due to Monsta X moving their performance, Saturday ticket holders will have the opportunity to refund or swap their ticket to Sunday until 6pm CET on Friday 18th February. All Saturday ticket holders will have access to a 48 hour presale for the second day, which entitles the buyer to a 10% discount, from 10am CET on 15th Feb. General release then begins at 10am CET on 17th Feb. Tickets will be available at www.kpopflex.com and through Ticketmaster.
