SEVENTEEN member The8 is set to headline a major music festival in China.
According to Pledis Entertainment on the 24th, The8 will take the headlining slot on the final day of the 'MIDOU MUSIC FESTIVAL' in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, held May 1–2, where he will deliver a solo stage.
Launched in 2014, the 'MIDOU MUSIC FESTIVAL' is marking its 15th edition this year. In 2023 alone, it drew more than 140,000 attendees across two installments in June and October, reflecting explosive popularity. More than just a music event, it has helped boost regional tourism by attracting visitors from beyond Jiangsu Province.
Beyond this upcoming appearance, The8 also headlined the 'Yue Jian Chao Xiang Music Festival' in Beijing on September 21 last year. Fans lined up overnight to see his performance, and he trended on Weibo's real-time search afterward.
