For the second KCON concert series of the year, a plethora of hand-picked artists are headed to Japan this weekend. Leaping from its prior Hong Kong venue, the next 2024 KCON event will be held from May 10 to 12, 2024, at the ZOZO Marine Stadium and Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.
The expansive two-tier concert weekend will witness all M Countdown Stage performances (May 11-12) taking place at Zozo Marine Stadium, whereas the KCON Stage, Meet & Greet, Connecting Stage and Dance All Day segments will unravel at Makuhari Messe (May 10-12).
Later this year, the fan-favourite will return with a more dazzling lineup of stellar performances at the Los Angeles and Saudi Arabia stops of the KCON 2024 series.
2024 KCON Japan hosts/MCs: Astro’s Cha Eunwoo will be hosting the May 11 KCON Japan main show, and CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa will follow suit the next day, May 12.
