Waterbomb Seoul 2026: Diplo headlines July 24 opener; BILLIE, Karina, RIIZE, Zico, HiKi confirmed

Waterbomb Seoul 2026 announced its full lineup for July 24–26 at KINTEX in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province. Grammy-winning producer Diplo will headline the opening night.

Diplo performs July 24—his first Korean stage in nine years. Expect "Lean On" and "Cold Water" in the set. He's produced for BTS's Arirang Project, BLACKPINK's "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du," and Jennie's "Like Jennie," plus his Major Lazer and Jack Ü work.

Saturday July 25 features the Green Team: BILLIE, fresh off their debut full-length album, and aespa's Karina. Sunday July 26 wraps the weekend with RIIZE and Zico on the Yellow Team.

HiKi joins the KINTEX outdoor global stage lineup. This marks their second straight year at Waterbomb. Last summer, their fourth mini-album title track "여름이었다" established them as a next-generation summer act.

A world tour hitting major overseas cities is planned for after Seoul. No cities have been announced yet.
