Some of the biggest names in K-pop will descend on Chicago in two months as KCON, a global celebration of Korean culture and music, takes place in the city for the first time.

Planned for May 21 and 22 at the Rosemont Theatre, the “KCON 2022 Premiere” will feature star-studded groups such as BtoB, NMIXX, STAYC, CRAVITY, and TO1, according to the lineup, which was first released by NBC 5.

KCON, a global celebration of Korean culture and music, is returning with its first in-person event in two years, this time branching into a new home: Chicago.
