Korea On Stage, at Wembley Arena

At the time of writing, details of the acts performing at this event are still not listed on the venue website. And what with the disagreement between the ticket website and the concert promoter’s Twitter feed as to the line-up, we’ve been hesitating to post about this event. But with less than two weeks to go before the event we thought it was about time to post something, so we’ve gone more or less verbatim with what’s on the ticket vending website. But we’ve cut some text which claimed that one of the acts is “the leading promoter of Korean music in South Korea” as we suspect there are others in the business who might also claim that accolade. It should be noted that in addition to the acts mentioned below, the concert promoter indicates in their Twitter post that ATEEZ, Boy Next Door, Xikers and Xdinary Heroes will be performing.
