Here's all you need to know about the K-Pop fest

Daze...daze, daze! ENHYPEN is returning to UAE, folks.
Yes, and again part of the Hyperound K-Fest, Abu Dhabi along with other stellar K-Pop talents. So, clear your calendars and start practising your fanchants. Hyperound K-Fest Abu Dhabi landing at Etihad Arena on April 18, 2026 — and yes, it’s shaping up to be massive.
Leading the charge is ENHYPEN, that enthralled fans with Given-Taken and quickly levelled up with hits like Drunk-Dazed, Tamed-Dashed, Bite Me and Sweet Venom. The seven-member group has since built a global touring fanbase and notched multiple top-10 debuts on the Billboard 200.
Joining them is Ten, the Thai pop force known for razor-sharp dance lines and chameleon-like vocals. His SM Station releases Dream in a Dream, New Heroes set the stage for his 2024 solo EP, TEN.
Also on the bill is FIFTY FIFTY, the group that went viral worldwide with Cupid, breaking into both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Top 10. After a turbulent legal chapter, the group relaunched in 2024 with the Love Tune era, featuring tracks like Starry Night, SOS and fan favourite Gravity.
Fans of moodier sounds can look forward to Dabin.kr, aka Hong Da-bin, the rapper behind cult favourites Jasmine, Martini Blue and Kiss Me. Formerly known as DPR Live, he rebranded as Dabin in late 2023 and followed up with the 2024 album Giggles.
Rounding out the announced line-up is ARTMS, the five-member group formed by former LOONA members under Modhaus. They debuted in May 2024 with album DALL and lead single Virtual Angel, following a series of pre-release tracks — Birth, Flower Rhythm, Candy Crush and Air — before launching their global Moonshot tour.
