The main concert is scheduled for 17:00~21:00. Seoul's internet broadcasting service has scheduled its live broadcast for 16:45~20:30.\n\nThe schedule is based on Seoul's October 2026 event plan, the official event guide, and the internet broadcast schedule.\n\n## Seoul Music Festival Schedule and Key Information\n\nThe event runs from 12:00~21:00.

Performance times may change depending on conditions at the venue. Detailed operating hours are listed in the [official event guide](https://seoulmusicfestival.co.kr/2026/about/index.php).\n\n## Performers and Event Programs\n\nThis event combines live performances with a record exhibition and hands-on music activities. It includes programs presented in collaboration with the Korean Music Awards. Busking performances and a talk show with music critics will also take place alongside the main concert.\n\n| Category | Officially Announced Performers |\n| --- | --- |\n| Main concert lineup | Paul Kim, Kwon Jin-ah, OKDAL, Nerd Connection, CHUDAHYE CHAGIS, Kim Chang-wan Band |\n| Pre-concert performance | Geul (GLL) |\n| Busking | Sseuda, Oldie But Goodie |\n| Talk show | Music critics Cho Hye-rim, Kim Yoon-ha |\n\nThe order of names in the main concert lineup does not indicate the performance order. Individual artists' stage times cannot be determined from the lineup alone. The performers are listed in the [official lineup](https://seoulmusicfestival.co.kr/2026/program/lineup.php).\n\n## Highlights and Daytime Programs\n\nVisitors can enjoy both live performances and recorded music. The Korean Music Awards record exhibition will be held at Nodeul Square on the second floor of Nodeul Island. Visitors can listen to selected music in the listening zone.\n\n- Korean Music Awards Record Exhibition: Introduces records associated with the awards and physical records from collections.\n- SMF \u0026 Korean Music Awards Listening Zone: A space for listening to music.\n- SMF Karaoke: A hands-on program where audience members can sing.\n- SMF Photo Booth · Haechi Photo Zone: A space for taking photos at the event.\n\nBusking performances and the talk show are scheduled before the main concert.

Seoul's internet broadcasting service lists a broadcast for **16:45~20:30** on the event date. The on-site main concert has been announced as free, but admission procedures apply.\n\n| Viewing Option | Announced Hours | Conditions and Details to Check |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| On-site main concert | 17:00~21:00 | Free concert; admission wristbands and on-site operating rules apply |\n| On-site hands-on programs | 12:00~18:00 | Check each program's location and operating information |\n| Internet livestream | Scheduled for 16:45~20:30 | Check the event listing in Seoul's internet broadcast schedule |\n\nThe online viewing route is through Seoul's internet broadcast schedule. Check the broadcast status under the event listing for October 24, 2026. The scheduled times follow the [Seoul internet broadcast schedule](https://tv.seoul.go.kr/schedule/scheduleListAjax.do).\n\n## Timing Differences to Check If You Only Watch the Livestream\n\nThe current broadcast schedule does not establish that the entire event will be aired. The livestream starts 15 minutes before the main concert. Its scheduled end time is 30 minutes before the main concert ends.\n\n| Difference Shown in the Schedules | What It Means |\n| --- | --- |\n| Busking performances and the talk show take place between 13:30~15:30 | These programs fall outside the announced livestream hours |\n| The main concert is scheduled to end at 21:00 | Whether performances after 20:30 will be broadcast needs to be checked separately |\n| Hands-on programs are scheduled to end at 18:00 | A plan to try these activities after watching the full main concert will not work |\n\nThis comparison is based on the official schedules. It does not indicate what will actually be broadcast or whether a particular performer will appear in the broadcast. The schedule listing alone also does not confirm whether a full replay will be available.\n\n## Seoul Music Festival Admission Procedures\n\nTicket holders receive an admission wristband at the ticket booth after an identity check. The official booking notice announced that bookings would open through YES24 Ticket on September 30, 2026 (South Korea). This notice alone does not indicate current ticket availability.\n\n1. Prepare the ticket holder's own mobile ticket and ID.\n2. Complete the identity check at the ticket booth from 12:00 on the event day.\n3. Receive a numbered admission wristband in the order mobile tickets are checked.\n4.

Admission wristbands cannot be collected by someone else. Without both a mobile ticket and ID, wristband redemption and admission are not allowed.\n\nAccording to the official FAQ, on-site ticket bookings are not available. However, **from 18:10 onward**, on-site admission may be possible if capacity remains. Operating times and whether admission is allowed depend on conditions at the venue.\n\nAdmission therefore cannot be guaranteed for visitors without a booking. The announcement of a free concert does not mean unrestricted entry at any time. Admission conditions follow the [ticket and admission information in the official FAQ](https://seoulmusicfestival.co.kr/2026/community/faq.php?page=3\u0026searchca=\u0026searchvalue=\u0026selectvalue=).\n\n## Restrictions on Food and Other Items\n\nFood and alcohol are restricted at the concert venue. Bottled water is permitted only in amounts of **at most 500ml**. Security screening takes place before entry.\n\nThe “Items Allowed and Prohibited” section of the official website's FAQ states:\n\n\u003e However, only bottled water in amounts of at most 500ml may be brought in.\n\n| Item or Accompanying Animal | Official FAQ Rules |\n| --- | --- |\n| Food, delivered food, takeaway food | Not allowed |\n| Alcohol, canned drinks, glass bottles | Not allowed |\n| Bottled water | At most 500ml allowed |\n| Picnic mats, camping chairs | Not allowed |\n| Camping wagons, carts, suitcases | Not allowed |\n| Wheelchairs, strollers | Exceptions to the restriction on wheeled items |\n| Pets | Not allowed in the concert venue |\n| Guide dogs for people with visual impairments | Allowed |\n\nWheelchair access may be restricted in some areas.

This is stated in the rain notice posted on October 12, 2026. Any schedule changes due to heavy rain or natural disasters will be announced separately.\n\nChanges will be announced on the official website and official social media accounts. On the website, check the Notices section under Community. For decisions about operations on the day, check any additional notices posted after the [rain policy notice](https://seoulmusicfestival.co.kr/2026/community/notice_view.php?page=\u0026searchca=\u0026searchvalue=\u0026selectvalue=\u0026seq=42).\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n### If the event is rated for all ages, can infants and toddlers enter?\n\nThe official FAQ sets the minimum age for concert venue admission at 36 months. The all-ages rating and the actual admission age requirement are separate. Whether an accompanying child can enter must be determined by this requirement.\n\n### Can I park on Nodeul Island or take a shuttle bus?\n\nThe parking lot on Nodeul Island will not operate on the event day. No separate shuttle bus will be provided. The official transportation guide includes routes using Nodeul Station on Subway Line 9 and the Nodeul Island bus stop.\n\n### Can I store my bag?\n\nThere is no separate storage facility at the venue. You must carry your own belongings. The organizer also does not store items that are denied entry at the entrance.\n\n### Can I film the concert with my phone?\n\nThe official FAQ allows ordinary photography and filming with a mobile phone.
