The world of K-Pop is about to get even bigger. Are you ready? I know I am.
With a successful presence already established in Asia after the 2019 inaugural event, KAMP (the first-ever international K-Pop festival) has set its sights on Los Angeles for 2021 at Banc of California Stadium.
First introduced to K-Pop fans in Singapore last year, KAMP drew a crowd of 20,000 K-Pop fans from throughout Asia. The lineup included Super Junior, NCT127, Momoland, Stray Kids, Chung Ha, Ha Sung Woon, G-FRIEND, AleXa and Sonnet Son.
In choosing the festival’s next city, festival promoter and KAMP Global CEO and founder Tim Kim says, “Los Angeles is not only the home to entertainment, but a major global community that is home to so many different cultures. K-Pop has become a global music language and we felt that there was no better place to start our North America festivals. Most importantly, as an Angeleno, how could I not imagine a K-Pop festival under the beautiful weather of Los Angeles?”
Kim continues, “When I first envisioned KAMP, I imagined our festival being held in at least 10 major cities in different continents around the world. As we are the first global K-Pop festival, our goal is to bring a true and creative K-Pop experience to fans in all corners of the world.”
KAMP Los Angeles is being developed as an event created specifically for the genre with various attractions and engagement activities involving K-Pop culture which will be a unique experience to the fans. KAMP will offer a variety of amenities including VIP experiences and culture zones encompassing a variety of food options, along with an e-sports/gaming showcase.
So … when are they going to set one of these up in Florida … 🥰
I write like I think—fast, curious, and a little feral. I chase the weird, the witty, and the why-is-this-happening-now. From AI meltdowns to fashion glow-ups, if it makes you raise an eyebrow or rethink your algorithm, I’m probably writing about it. Expect sharp takes, occasional sarcasm, and zero tolerance for boring content.
