LOS ANGELES — SoCal will get a second K-pop mega-festival this October.
KAMP, a new two-day K-pop festival that launched in Singapore in 2019, announced its L.A.-area debut on Tuesday. The fest, slated for Oct. 15 and 16 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, will bring established stars like Monsta X and Kai (of EXO and Super M), a long-awaited L.A. return from veterans Super Junior, and rare stateside sets from BamBam and Jeon Somi.
The announcement comes three days before KCON — the giant fan convention and concert that helped establish K-pop in the U.S. — kicks off in downtown L.A. The Asian pop and hip-hop label 88Rising's Head in the Clouds festival also returns this weekend to Brookside at the Rose Bowl.
