The K-Pop Fest Competition will take place at 6:30 pm on Saturday, 11 July 2026, on the Main Stage. The competition will be organised under a single category.
Participants will be selected in order of registration. Should places remain available, on-site registrations will be accepted on the day of the competition, up to one hour before it begins.
The maximum number of places available in the competition is 30. Any registrations received after this limit will be placed on a waiting list, with a maximum of 5 reserve places.
A participant may not be part of more than one group or perform more than once.
Changes to the song selected for the performance will not be accepted. The song stated on the registration form will be considered final.
Participants who wish to project images must combine the music and video into a single MP4 file. It is mandatory for participants using this format to have their file checked. The backup USB must be handed to the event staff during attendance check-in at 5:30 pm.
To avoid any issues or technical difficulties when uploading files, participants are advised to bring a USB drive in an envelope labelled with their name, containing the music to be performed in either MP3 or MP4 format.
Participants must be at the stage 45 minutes before the competition begins in order to confirm their attendance. Any group or individual participant not present by 5:30 pm will automatically lose their place, which will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.
