RAPBEAT

RAPBEAT is Korea's largest multi-genre music festival, planned and produced by CULTURE THINK. It first began in 2014 as a performance called the "Rapbeat Show" and expanded into a festival scale in 2018, where it has been held annually ever since. While initially centered on hip-hop, it has evolved into a comprehensive music festival that breaks down genre boundaries, encompassing R&B, indie, rock, and K-POP. Notably, in 2024, marking its 10th anniversary, the event recorded its largest scale ever, attracting approximately 100,000 attendees over two days at the Songdo Moonlight Festival Park in Incheon. With the confirmation of its return in 2026 after a hiatus of about two years, it is set to return as a festival that signals the start of summer. "RAPBEAT 2026" is scheduled to be held for two days, from June 20 to 21, 2026, at the Culture Depot in Mapo-gu, Seoul. The first and second lineups revealed so far include a large number of top-tier domestic artists such as ZICO, JAY PARK, Dynamic Duo, RIIZE, Jooheon, and BewhY. In particular, this performance promises a differentiated show composition with special stages planned that can only be seen at Rapbeat, such as a collaboration stage between JAY PARK and Lil Moshi Pit.
