With Covid-19 slowly but surely retreating, ‘The Dream Concert,’ which has been a large-scale K-pop performance event since 1995, is finally going to make an in-person return. The show used to be a joint K-pop concert venture in which the best Korean musicians of each year appeared on stage and performed for fans. Throughout their years in business, the event has hosted artists like SHINee, 2PM, Girls Generation, BTOB, EXO, BTS, GOT7, and Monsta X, among many other second and third-gen acts.

After it was announced that the show was going to come back in person, fans were thrilled to finally be able to witness many K-pop acts share the stage in a joint event. The Dream Concert will celebrate its 28th anniversary this year and its upcoming lineup has finally been revealed as of May 18. Find out what K-pop groups or soloists will appear at the 2022 Dream Concert as well as how to buy tickets for the one-day event in Seoul.
