July: Incheon Arena Double-Header and PSY's Water Festival

FEARNOT will be out in full force as LE SSERAFIM opens the season at INSPIRE Arena in Incheon, with CORTIS following just days later at the same venue. DOBBYs get their moment as BOYNEXTDOOR brings "KNOCK ON Vol. 2" to KSPO Dome, and STAY takes over the same stage for Stray Kids' "RUN IT" later in the month. ELF turns out for Super Junior's sub-unit SUPER JUNIOR-83z performing "1983" at Olympic Hall. Meanwhile, PSY's SUMMERSWAG festival turns Seoul Grand Park into its trademark drench show — no fandom membership required, just a willingness to get soaked.

August: Anniversaries and Stadium Nights

It's also a great month to go in as a newcomer: anniversary shows and fan-concert formats tend to be especially welcoming if you're seeing a group live for the first time. Travelodge Dongdaemun Seoul is a handy base near Dongdaemun Design Plaza and its night markets. Book via Travelodge Dongdaemun Seoul, or see our guide to hotels near Dongdaemun Market.
