The ‘2025 Hanteo Music Festival’ has confirmed new dates and a venue after announcing a postponement. The event—initially promoted as the inaugural ‘Hanteo Music Festival in Seoul’—was originally scheduled for Sept. 6–7, 2025 KST at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Following the change, the festival will now be held Nov. 22–23, 2025 KST at Inspire Arena in Jung-gu, Incheon.
On Sept. 6 KST, organizers issued an apology to fans and artists: “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by the schedule change. We worked to secure a venue where artists and fans could interact more closely.”
As part of the revised lineup, H.O.T will remain the headliner, performing on both days with sets lasting over 60 minutes. Organizers noted that scheduling with other artists is still being coordinated and will be announced once confirmed.
The new venue, Inspire Arena, is located inside the Inspire Entertainment Resort near Incheon International Airport. Organizers emphasized that fans who purchased tickets prior to the postponement will be given priority access through an early reservation period before the general ticket sale, with further guidance to be provided.

Hello, this is Hanteo Global, the host of the ‘2025 Hanteo Music Festival’.
First, we extend our sincere apologies to ticket holders and participating artists for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by the change in schedule.
The festival was originally planned as the inaugural ‘Hanteo Music Festival in Seoul’, set for Sept. 6–7, 2025 KST at Seoul World Cup Stadium. However, after thorough stage simulations and on-site inspections, we concluded that a different venue would provide better conditions for both the artists and the fans. This process delayed our final announcement.
Revised event details are as follows:
-
Date: Nov. 22 (Sat)–23 (Sun), 2025 KST
-
Venue: Inspire Arena, 127 Gonghangmunhwa-ro, Jung-gu, Incheon
As originally planned, H.O.T. will headline both days with performances exceeding 60 minutes. Scheduling with other artists is currently being adjusted and will be announced once confirmed.
We will provide updates on exact set times and ticket opening schedules via our official accounts,” the organizers added. “Additionally, those who purchased tickets prior to the postponement will have priority access to early reservations before the official ticket launch. Separate guidance on this process will follow.
Once again, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment caused. We are committed to delivering the best possible festival experience. Thank you.
