After the dazzling spectacle of this year’s former musical convention in Los Angeles in August 2023, the stage is set for KCON Saudi Arabia 2023 to captivate Hallyu wave enthusiasts over a two-day fiesta. Every year, KCON delivers a series of enchanting concerts, featuring a dazzling array of artists, both groups and soloists.
In a departure from the extravaganza of KCON LA 2023, the upcoming edition in Saudi Arabia aims for a classic and straightforward approach. The event will comprise just three distinct event types – the main show, Meet and Greet sessions, and the Convention. Returning to the same venue as the September 2022 edition, this year’s music festival promises to evoke cherished memories while boasting an entirely fresh lineup of performers. It marks the fourth installment of KCON 2023, following KCON Thailand in March, KCON Japan in May, and the recent KCON LA in August.
The first day of the main show will be hosted by South Korean singer and actor Yoon Dujun, also known as Yoon Doojoon or Doojoon, while the second day will be helmed by special MC Super Junior Siwon. The convention’s MC lineup includes eSNa, Han Heejun, and 1chika.
