About the Concert

The Hyundai Card Super Concert series—established as a benchmark for international live music production in Korea—presents its 28th installment with The Weeknd performing two shows at Goyang Stadium. Unlike the intimate club settings where Abel Tesfaye initially built his following, this stadium configuration accommodates a significantly larger audience while maintaining the atmospheric production values—extensive LED arrays, choreographed lighting sequences, and theatrical stage design—that characterize his current touring aesthetic. The genre spans alternative R&B, synth-pop, and new wave influences, distinguishing this event from the K-pop-dominated festival circuit typically associated with Korean concert calendars.

Schedule and Logistics

Performances occur on consecutive evenings: Wednesday, October 7, 2026, and Thursday, October 8, 2026, with each show commencing at 7:45 PM. The Goyang Stadium Main Stadium location—situated at 1601 Jungang-ro in Ilsanseo-gu—offers a distinct advantage over indoor arena alternatives through its open-air acoustics and capacity for expanded visual staging, though attendees should prepare for weather contingencies appropriate to early October evenings. Entry is strictly limited to individuals aged 19 years or older, reflecting the mature thematic content and late-night scheduling inherent to the artist’s repertoire.

Ticketing Options

The pricing structure operates across nine distinct categories, each reflecting a 10% discount for Hyundai Card holders:

Reserved Seating (Tiered by proximity):

• Reserved Seat P: 260,100 KRW
• Reserved Seat R: 222,300 KRW
• Reserved Seat S: 180,000 KRW
• Reserved Seat A: 160,200 KRW
• Reserved Seat B: 150,300 KRW
• Reserved Seat C: 140,400 KRW
• Reserved Seat D: 130,500 KRW

General Admission:

• Standing: 170,100 KRW
• Standing EARLY ENTRY PACKAGE: 422,100 KRW (includes priority floor access and additional amenities)

The Standing EARLY ENTRY PACKAGE positions attendees closest to the stage platform—an important consideration for fans prioritizing visibility over seated comfort, particularly given the artist’s tendency toward extended catwalk performances and audience interaction segments.

Practical Considerations

Those traveling from outside the Seoul metropolitan area may utilize the linked accommodation portal to secure lodging near Goyang Stadium, avoiding the logistical complications of late-night transit following the 7:45 PM start time. Additionally, outdoor stadium concerts of this duration—typically running approximately two to two-and-a-half hours—benefit from portable seating solutions, with foldable festival chairs available through the provided retail link. Face jewelry stickers, accessible via the third link, offer a practical alternative to liquid cosmetics for attendees seeking stylized appearances without carrying extensive makeup supplies through security screening.

Festival Visual Reference

A bit about The Weeknd (위켄드)

Emerging from an enigmatic, anonymous online presence in 2011, The Weeknd fundamentally reshaped the sound of modern R&B. The creative persona of Canadian singer and songwriter Abel Tesfaye, the project initially captivated audiences with a trilogy of dark, intoxicating mixtapes—House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence—that explored themes of drug-fueled romantic despair over a cinematic blend of foggy production and haunting falsetto. This underground mystique exploded into a mainstream phenomenon, evolving from a critically acclaimed cult figure into one of the world’s biggest pop stars. His catalog is a masterclass in duality, producing era-defining hits like the shimmering disco-pop of “Can’t Feel My Face” and the inescapable 80s synth-wave nostalgia of “Blinding Lights,” while never fully abandoning the shadowy, late-night vulnerability that made him iconic. A global record-breaker and style chameleon, The Weeknd’s narrative is a singular artistic journey—one that traverses the deepest corners of hedonistic Los Angeles nightlife and ascends to the brightest stage of an NFL Super Bowl halftime show, all while maintaining a core commitment to a cohesive, often cinematic, melancholic vision.

Jack White brings his solo project to Seoul this August for a single evening of blues-rock at YES24 Live Hall. Best known as the driving force behind The White Stripes and for a solo catalog that spans garage rock, Delta blues, and experimental composition, White occupies a singular space in contemporary rock—equally comfortable with vintage analog equipment and boundary-pushing sonic textures. The Seoul date arrives as part of his 2026 touring cycle, offering fans in Korea direct access to material from across his four solo studio albums alongside selections from The White Stripes canon and his various side projects.

🗓️ Date: August 17, 2026
📍 Venue: YES24 Live Hall
Address: Gwangjin-gu Performance Hall, 20 Gucheonmyeon-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul

The Monday evening performance begins at 6:00 PM, an earlier start than typical arena concerts that accommodates the venue’s location in eastern Seoul and weekday transit schedules. YES24 Live Hall, situated in the Gwangjin district near Konkuk University and the Han River, offers a capacity of approximately 2,000 to 3,000 with both general admission floor and reserved seating tiers—providing closer sightlines and more immediate sound than stadium shows allow.

Schedule
Performance Date and Time: Monday, August 17, 2026, at 6:00 PM

Lineup
Jack White

Ticket Prices

• Standing Seat (General): 132,000 KRW
• Reserved Seat (General): 132,000 KRW

Both ticket categories are priced identically at 132,000 KRW. The standing option places attendees on the general admission floor, suitable for those who prioritize proximity to the stage, while reserved seating offers assigned chairs with fixed sightlines toward the center of the action. Admission is restricted to attendees aged 12 and older.

Practical Information
🛏️ Accommodations near the concert
Hotels and guesthouses within Gwangjin-gu or the nearby Konkuk University and Jamsil areas provide the shortest transit times to the venue, typically less than twenty minutes by bus or subway.

💡 Lightstick

For those traveling from outside Seoul, the venue sits within walking distance of Guui Station on Line 2 and is accessible via bus routes connecting to Gangbyeon Station. Given the YES24 Live Hall’s compact architecture—originally designed as a dedicated concert space rather than a converted sports arena—acoustics remain detailed and balanced throughout both the standing and reserved sections, regardless of position.

A bit about Jack White,

Jack White is the preeminent rock and roll archivist of the 21st century, a paradox wrapped in a mystery and sealed with a distinctive color palette of red, white, and black. Bursting onto the scene as the guitar-playing, vocal-singing half of The White Stripes, he revitalized blues-rock minimalism with a raw, primal energy that made a two-piece band sound like an apocalypse. From the iconic, earth-shaking riff of “Seven Nation Army” to the frenetic garage-punk deconstruction of “Fell in Love with a Girl,” his work with drummer Meg White proved that limitation is the ultimate catalyst for creativity. Beyond The White Stripes, he expanded his sonic universe as the frontman of The Raconteurs, the drummer and vocalist for The Dead Weather, and through a voraciously inventive solo career that veers from furious rockabilly to strange, electronic-tinged experiments. A Third Man Records founder and obsessive upholsterer of analog sound in a digital world, Jack White isn’t just a musician; he’s a self-mythologizing guardian of raw expression, treating the entire history of music as a playground to be both preserved and blown apart.

A bit about 이한철

이한철 is a distinguished South Korean singer-songwriter, composer, and producer whose career spans over three decades, marking him as a pivotal figure in the landscape of modern Korean rock and pop. He first rose to prominence as the frontman and primary creative force behind the legendary punk-modern rock band Unlimited, which he formed in 1989. The band’s raw energy and melodic sensibility were instrumental in defining the emergent alternative and indie rock scene in South Korea during the 1990s, with anthems like “Rainy Season” becoming enduring classics. Following the dissolution of Unlimited, 이한철 embarked on a prolific solo career that showcased a more refined, lyrical, and genre-eclectic musicality, seamlessly blending rock, folk, pop, and electronic elements. He is also one-half of the project duo Super 2, a collaborative venture with singer Horan, exploring sophisticated pop and bossa nova textures. Beyond his work as a performer, he is a highly respected and sought-after composer and music director for film and television, having crafted evocative scores for major projects such as the drama Reply 1988 and the film Architecture 101, the latter of which yielded the unforgettable retro-pop duet “The Meaning of You.” His enduring influence lies in his dual identity as both a passionate rock troubadour and a masterful sonic architect who helped shape the emotional soundtrack of a generation.

Ticketing Guide

Presale Access Protocol

Securing tickets during the presale period requires obtaining a verification code directly from the band’s official website—a two-step process designed to prioritize dedicated fans before general public release. To register for presale access, navigate to the official 5SOS website, select the TOUR+ navigation tab, click ALL DATES, and locate the SIGN UP option adjacent to the Korea concert listing. The registration form requires your email address and Country designation (select South Korea); importantly, the POSTAL CODE field may be left blank—click SUBMIT regardless of whether postal information is entered. Upon completion, the presale code arrives via email and must be entered on the Interpark booking page before ticket selection.

Several restrictions govern the presale process. The aggregate ticket limit across both presale and general sale periods stands at four tickets per person—purchasing two tickets during presale reduces your general sale allowance to two remaining tickets. Additionally, government-mandated discounts for people with disabilities and persons of national merit do not apply during the presale phase, though they may be available during general sales (subject to standard verification procedures).

A bit about 5 Seconds Of Summer

Formed in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia, in 2011, 5 Seconds Of Summer (often shortened to 5SOS) began their journey as a group of school friends posting covers on YouTube. Their trajectory took a meteoric turn when Louis Tomlinson of One Direction discovered their videos, leading to a coveted spot as the opening act on the Take Me Home world tour. This exposure catapulted the band—comprising Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin—from an internet phenomenon to a global pop-rock sensation. While initially introduced to the world through the lens of a boy band, 5SOS forcefully carved out their own identity, championing a pop-punk revival with a sound deeply rooted in the guitar-driven, high-energy influences of bands like Green Day, blink-182, and All Time Low. Their debut single, “She Looks So Perfect,” became an anthem, but it was their evolution across albums like Sounds Good Feels Good and Youngblood that cemented their musical credibility and longevity. The title track “Youngblood” marked a particularly significant sonic shift, embracing a darker, more mature pop-rock sound that dominated charts worldwide and reintroduced the band as a formidable, grown-up force. Known for their electrifying live shows and a deeply loyal fanbase, 5 Seconds Of Summer has successfully navigated the transition from teenage heartthrobs to respected musicians, continually pushing the boundaries of their genre while maintaining the close, collaborative bond that started it all.

A bit about CNBLUE 씨엔블

Debuting in 2010 with the instantly iconic single I’m a Loner, CNBLUE established themselves as a cornerstone of the K-rock scene, bridging the gap between polished K-pop idol aesthetics and authentic band musicianship. The quartet—originally comprising Jung Yong-hwa on vocals and guitar, Lee Jong-hyun on guitar, Lee Jung-shin on bass, and Kang Min-hyuk on drums—carved out a distinct identity with their crisp pop-rock sound, blending melancholy melodies with energetic arrangements. Beyond their domestic success, CNBLUE aggressively expanded into the Japanese market, building a formidable discography of both Korean and Japanese albums that showcases their evolution from radio-friendly rock to more mature, self-produced material. With hits like Intuition, Can’t Stop, and Then, Now and Forever, they have sustained a career marked by chart-topping releases, sold-out tours, and a dedicated global fanbase, all while navigating the shifting currents of the music industry for well over a decade.

A bit about Post Malone,

Post Malone is a defining musical chameleon of the 21st century, an artist who dismantled genre barriers by fusing hip-hop beats, pop melodies, emo introspection, and rockstar energy into a singular, chart-dominating sound. Bursting onto the scene in 2015 with the hypnotic, woozy trap of “White Iverson,” he quickly proved he was more than a viral phenomenon. Albums like Stoney, beerbongs & bentleys, and Hollywood’s Bleeding became diamond-certified cultural juggernauts, spawning a relentless string of era-defining hits such as “Congratulations,” “Rockstar,” “Circles,” and “Sunflower.” Instantly recognizable by his tapestry of face tattoos, ever-present Bud Light, and a voice that effortlessly soars from gruff, rhythmic cadences into a stunning, vulnerable falsetto, Post Malone is the unlikely poet laureate of a generation that finds anthemic release in his tales of loneliness, excess, and the search for authenticity. His well-documented love for everything from country music to heavy metal and folk isn’t just fandom—it’s the lifeblood of a boundless artist who can share a Grammy with 21 Savage, croon a timeless pop duet, and later deliver a critically acclaimed, stripped-down country album, all while remaining the most affable and unpretentious superstar on the planet.
