Start practicing your finger hearts now – K-pop megastars will descend on London this summer for a Europe-exclusive concert.

Big Three production company SM Entertainment is bringing 14 K-pop acts to Twickenham Stadium on June 28, in celebration of the firm’s 30th anniversary. The event is called SMTOWN LIVE 2025, and it’ll bring some truly massive names to west London.

Those names include aespa, whose hit ‘Supernova’ was on both NME and DAZED’s top K-pop songs of 2024 lists, NCT 127, who’ve achieved three consecutive Top 5 albums on the Billboard 200, Red Velvet, the first K-pop girl group to top Billboard’s World Albums chart, and TVXQ!, who have the record for the largest official fan club in the world. They’ll be joined by other established stars as well as ‘trainees’ – aspiring stars who are on their way up in the K-pop world. 

SMTOWN LIVE last hit Europe in 2011 with two dates in Paris, but this is its first London concert. After kicking off with two sold-out concerts in Seoul in January, SMTOWN LIVE 2025 will head to Mexico City and Los Angeles in May, and onwards to Tokyo in August after the London date.

How can I get tickets?

If you’re keen to see your bias in the flesh, tickets for the London show are now on sale via Ticketmaster, AXS and Konne Ticket. 

How much do tickets cost?

Prices begin at £70, with VIP and VVIP packages available from £400-£550.

K-pop icons BLACKPINK will also be touching down in London this summer.
