Waterbomb, South Korea’s largest water music festival, announced its first 2026 lineup for Waterbomb Seoul (July 24–26) at the outdoor Global Stage in KINTEX. The festival is collaborating with pop-art artist Steven Harrington (스티븐 해링턴) to refresh its visual identity, promising an expanded fusion of music, water, and art. Headliners include Jay Park (박재범), a perennial Waterbomb icon known for high-energy performances; BIBI (비비), praised for her distinctive vocals and bold stagecraft; and Kiss of Life (키스오브라이프), delivering strong live vocals and vibrant choreography. Organizers are improving infrastructure—paid shuttle buses from Seoul and Gyeonggi, large parking areas, and connected air-conditioned exhibition halls—to ensure safety and comfort amid heat concerns. Waterbomb plans a domestic tour (Seoul, Busan, Sokcho) and international shows in North America and Europe, aiming to grow as a global festival IP. Tickets are available on the official website and major vendors; additional acts and schedule details will be released later. (KINTEX: Korea International Exhibition Center)
