HYBE said on Oct 7, 2026 its Weverse Con Festival will be held in New Delhi on March 27-28, 2027, its first edition outside South Korea; no line-up yet.
What Happened
South Korean entertainment company HYBE, the label group behind BTS, ENHYPEN and LE SSERAFIM, announced on Wednesday, 7 October 2026, that its Weverse Con Festival will be held in New Delhi on 27 and 28 March 2027. It will be the first edition of the festival held outside South Korea. HYBE India made the announcement after a short teaser that many Indian fans had read as a hint of a BTS tour. The company said top K-pop acts will share the stage with leading Indian artists, but it has not yet named any performers, the venue or ticket prices.
Key Facts
- Weverse Con Festival India will run for two days, 27 and 28 March 2027, in New Delhi.
- It is the first time the festival is being staged outside South Korea.
- HYBE said the line-up will combine K-pop acts with Indian artists; no names have been announced.
- BTS has not been announced for the festival, and there is no official word on a BTS concert in India.
- BookMyShow Live is co-producing and promoting the event, and ticketing will run through BookMyShow, where the listing says the venue is still to be announced.
- Festival and ticket details are to be shared on HYBE India's Instagram account and on Weverse, HYBE's fan platform.
Why It Matters
K-pop has a large young following in India, built through streaming, social media and fan communities, yet no BTS or other HYBE artist has so far played a concert in the country. That is why HYBE India's 12-second teaser, which asked whether a fan's "manifestation" had worked and carried the opening notes of a BTS song, set off a wave of excitement among Indian fans, who call themselves ARMY. The reveal that followed was not a BTS tour, but it is still a first: HYBE's flagship festival has chosen India for its first edition abroad.
For young fans, the practical meaning is a chance to see K-pop artists live without travelling to Seoul, Singapore or Bangkok. The plan to put Korean and Indian artists on one bill also gives Indian musicians a chance to play to K-pop audiences.
There are open questions. The line-up, the venue and ticket prices will decide who can actually attend. Fans will also be watching how the organisers handle ticket sales, transport and crowds for a two-day event of this size.

Impact
Short-term: Fans now wait for the line-up and ticketing details, which HYBE has said will come through its Instagram and Weverse channels; scam ticket offers are a risk until official sales open.
Long-term: If the festival succeeds, it could open the way for regular K-pop tours and festivals in India, and for more joint performances between Korean and Indian artists.
Who is affected: K-pop fans across India, most of them young; Indian artists who may get a place on the bill; event and ticketing companies; and Delhi-NCR, which will host the crowds.
Key Takeaway
HYBE's Weverse Con Festival will make its first overseas stop in New Delhi on 27-28 March 2027, but the line-up, venue and prices are still unknown, and BTS is not confirmed.
