\n\t\u201cWeverse Con Festival India marks a new chapter in our \u2018multi-home, multi-genre\u2019 strategy and reflects our commitment to India as a key market in HYBE\u2019s global growth,\u201d comments Jason Jaesang Lee, CEO of HYBE.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cBy bringing HYBE\u2019s global capabilities together with India\u2019s creativity, we aim to create a festival that expands our ecosystem through experiences that resonate with local audiences. We look forward to bringing fans together to discover a new universe of music and unlock an immersive journey where they can connect, celebrate, and explore new possibilities alongside the artists they love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe launch of Weverse Con Festival India will be seen as another sign that the country\u2019s live music circuit is ready to take the next step. The world\u2019s most popular market, India will welcome tours from Guns N\u2019 Roses and Fred Again later this year, while Dua Lipa performed for Indian audiences in 2024, and the likes of U2 and Katy Perry toured pre-pandemic. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe forthcoming event is an extension to HYBE\u2019s existing presence in the market through HYBE INDIA, which operates out of Mumbai and has been conducting nationwide auditions since earlier this year to form a next-generation global girl group,\u00a0a hunt for Indian talent that make waves worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n\tTickets for Weverse Con Festival India will be available exclusively through BookMyShow. Details on the lineup and ticket sales will be announced at a later date.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
