After the stellar gathering at this year’s former musical convention in Los Angeles in August 2023, the KCON Saudi Arabia 2023 lineup is looking sharp and is ready to steal Hallyu wave’s fans’ hearts at the two-day festa. Each year KCON has unveiled a series of magical concerts featuring a star-studded lineup of various artists – both groups and soloists alike.
Keeping the event classic and simple, unlike KCON LA 2023, the upcoming edition of the annual convention in Saudi Arabia will only be featuring three different types of events – the main show, Meet and Greet sessions and the Convention. Returning back to the same venue as that of the September 2022 edition of this ceremony, the forthcoming music festival is bound to conjure up old memories powered by nostalgia, but starring an all new lineup of performers this time. It will be the fourth KCON 2023 outing following KCON Thailand in March 2023, KCON Japan in May 2023, and the recent most KCON LA in August 2023.
(*The schedule may be subject to change or cancellation under certain circumstances.)
KCON Saudi Arabia 2023 Hosts
The South Korean singer and actor Yoon Dujun or Yoon Doojoon aka Doojoon will be leading the first day of the main show as the special MC, whereas the second day will be helmed by special MC Super Junior Siwon. On the other hand, the convention MC lineup includes eSNa, Han Heejun and 1chika.

If I want to watch the KCON SAUDI ARABIA do I need to have the official KCON membership paid on YouTube?
Nope, i think this one will be free because the link has already been shared on the kcon youtube page and it doesn’t mention anything about the membership clause like it did at the time of kcon LA a few months back.
