HYBE Announces Weverse Con Festival India, Its First Overseas Edition, Set for New Delhi in March

HYBE confirmed on Thursday that it will stage Weverse Con Festival India in New Delhi on March 27 and 28, marking the first time its flagship music showcase has been held outside Korea since the festival launched in 2023.

Dates set, lineup still to come

The festival will run for two days in New Delhi, with HYBE stating the lineup will be announced in October. Weverse Con Festival has grown steadily since its first year, expanding from 20 performing acts to 30 in its most recent edition in Korea, where the annual event will continue to run separately from the new India edition.

A test of HYBE's multi-genre ambitions

HYBE described the India edition as a way to put its so-called "multi-home, multi-genre" strategy into practice, pairing K-pop artists with Indian musicians rather than simply exporting a Korean lineup. A company official said the goal is to deliver varied fan experiences and performances while expanding what the official called its global entertainment ecosystem, language that signals the festival is meant to function as more than a one-off tour stop.

The roster behind the brand

HYBE's own description of itself in announcing the event points to BTS and SEVENTEEN as examples of the acts under its umbrella, both groups built extensive award histories over the past decade, including years of Bonsang and Daesang wins at Korean year-end ceremonies and international recognition at shows such as the MAMA Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. Those track records underline why a HYBE-branded festival carries weight as it moves into a new market. [2][3]

Building on a year of groundwork in India

The India push did not begin with this announcement. HYBE India, established last year, has already run auditions and fan events across 23 cities in India and abroad, laying infrastructure that the festival is now meant to build on. [1]

What comes next for ticket holders and fans

Beyond the headline dates, HYBE said the festival will include fan participation programs intended to let attendees experience K-pop culture beyond the stage shows themselves. Further details, including ticketing information, are expected through official channels such as HYBE India's Instagram account and Weverse Zone once the October lineup announcement is made. [1]
