SOUNDBERRY FESTA’ 26 – Early Bird Tickets

Poster

The SOUNDBERRY FESTA returns to Ilsan for its 2026 edition, presenting a two-day program of live music that balances established mainstream recognition with independent artistry. Scheduled for mid-July at the Korea International Exhibition Center, this early bird release offers admission to the full weekend at a reduced rate before standard ticketing tiers become available, positioning the event as a cost-effective entry point for those seeking diverse K-pop, indie rock, and folk performances within a single venue.

Event Information

  • 🗓️ Date: 2026-07-18 ~ 2026-07-19
  • 📍 Venue: Ilsan KINTEX
  • Address: 217-60 Kintex-ro, Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do (2600 Daehwa-dong)
  • Age Limit: 7 years old and above

Located northwest of central Seoul, KINTEX provides an accessible destination via Seoul Metro Line 3 (KINTEX Station), situated within Goyang’s Ilsan district. The exhibition center’s infrastructure accommodates large-scale events, offering the spatial capacity for extended programming without the constraints typical of smaller urban venues—a practical consideration given the 12:00 start times and all-day scheduling.

Schedule

Programming begins at noon each day, with performances running through the evening:

  • July 18, 2026 (Sat) 12:00~
  • July 19, 2026 (Sun) 12:00~

Lineup

The 2026 roster spans multiple genres, creating a trajectory that moves between anthemic mainstream moments and experimental, intimate sets. Confirmed performers include:

  • Far East Asian Tigers
  • Band Nah
  • REDOOR
  • OVO
  • MeloMance
  • CNBLUE
  • saf =3
  • OWALLOIL
  • Choi Yu Ree
  • can’t be blue
  • hrtz.wav
  • HANRORO

This configuration places veteran acts—CNBLUE, known for their melodic rock repertoire, and the chart-topping ballad duo MeloMance—alongside independent mainstays such as the alternative rock group Band Nah and the folk-influenced OWALLOIL, plus emerging acts including hrtz.wav and HANRORO.

Ticket Price

  • Early Bird 2-Day Pass (Admission Ticket): 139,000 KRW

This early bird tier requires purchase before the general sale period and includes admission for both July 18 and 19. For attendees planning to experience the full weekend program, this pricing represents the most economical entry point currently available—particularly when compared to the cost of purchasing single-day tickets separately once standard pricing is announced. The pass grants general admission to all scheduled performances within the festival grounds.

Note that the age restriction applies to all ticket tiers, and attendees aged 7 to 18 require accompaniment by a parent or guardian.

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.
