Time has certainly flown by so fast, and we now have less than 2 months before the year comes to a close. And what better way to welcome 2026 than with a music festival? We’re sure several are already in the works, but this upcoming one has been drawing plenty of attention.
A few months ago, organiser DTS Malaysia announced the Rockin’ To 2026 Festival, described as Malaysia’s biggest K-pop New Year’s countdown. The event is set to be held at the National Hockey Stadium (originally planned for Sunway Lagoon), and we finally received hints about the artists who will be part of the line-up. Here’s what we know so far:
Yesterday (Tuesday, 18th November), the official Rockin’ To 2026 Instagram page teased several clues about the K-pop stars set to perform at the upcoming festival in Malaysia this December. The hints came in the form of emojis, and fans have been submitting their guesses as to which artists they may represent. For Act 1, many fans have suggested that it could be MONSTA X, while Act 2 is widely believed to be Wave to Earth.
Act 3, however, has sparked the most debate, with fans divided over the numerous possibilities for which K-pop star it might represent. Some have guessed that it could be TVXQ, while others believe it may be Baek Ji-young, who is known for her contributions to K-drama soundtracks. Fans have also speculated that it could be DAY6. Regardless, it’s clear that Act 3 is so far the most mysterious and while we wait for the official reveal, here are the details of the upcoming festival:
