The 2026 'SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer' just dropped its explosive second lineup, setting off a fresh wave of buzz.
Revealed on the 23rd, the update adds eight acts — from global sensations to breakout rookies — to the bill.
Leading the charge, global group Stray Kids and next-gen megatrend BABYMONSTER join the second wave. As headliners of this summer festival, both teams are gearing up to deliver career-defining, next-level stages.
NCT's TEN, famed for his distinctive artistry and flawless performance, and super rookie IZNA, who grabbed the industry's attention the moment they debuted, are confirmed. They’re joined by Bolbbalgan4 (BOL4), beloved for their signature tone and emotion, and KISS OF LIFE, whose overwhelming live vocals have sparked a full-on syndrome. Adding fresh firepower, hip new rookies KickFlip and EVAN — who is embarking on a solo path after activities with ENHYPEN — will bring high-energy performances.
With this, the festival now boasts a powerhouse roster of 19 teams, including those announced earlier: DAY6's Wonpil, NCT's Taeyong, ATEEZ, ZEROBASEONE, RIIZE, NCT WISH, MEOVV, Hearts2Hearts, ALLDAY PROJECT, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, and AND2BLE. 'SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer' promises special collaboration stages never seen on regular broadcasts and refreshingly cool stage production that already has fans hyped.
Marking its third summer edition, 'Gayo Daejeon Summer' will take place on August 9 at KINTEX in Ilsan.
