The Ultimate K-Pop Experience Returns To L.A.’s Crypto Arena This Weekend — Here’s What To Expect

K-Pop broke through in the West a few years ago, and all signs point to it being here to stay. With energetic melodies, catchy lyrics that get stuck in your head, and vibrant choreography, the artists and groups that make up the genre have built a true cult-like loyalty among their fans. This growing passion led to the creation of KCON, a massive K-Pop and Korean culture festival that started in 2012 in Los Angeles. Since then, it has become an annual event in L.A., drawing over 125,000 fans last year alone (as *Kpop Map* reported) all eager to celebrate everything from music to food, fashion, and more. This year’s [KCON in L.A.,](https://kconusa.com/) is set to be bigger than ever! Taking place the first weekend of August, at Crypto.com Arena, the festival will feature performances by top K-Pop stars like NCT 127, aespa, MONSTA X, Hwasa, P1Harmony, ZEROBASEONE, RIIZE, Lee Young-ji, Roy Kim, Jackson Wang, MEOVV, and many more. Fans can also dive into panel discussions, dance workshops, and Korean cultural experiences spread throughout the festival grounds. 📆 Dates: August 1-3, 2025 📍 Location: 1111 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Source: https://secretlosangeles.com/kcon-la-2025-crypto-arena/
