EXO and SuperM member Kai said in a recent statement that it is “exciting to take part in the KAMP LA lineup. This may legitimately be the biggest K-pop event in U.S. history.” KAMP Global CEO Tim Kim said, “There’s a deep connection between Korean culture and L.A. This was always the place to start, but we are also going to bring K-pop worldwide with KAMP and Eventim Live Asia. We will go to all markets where K-pop resonates — which is everywhere these days. KAMP isn’t just about mega-concerts or historic events — it’s a culture.”
Eventim Live Asia CEO Jason Miller added, “Kim’s vision was immediately exciting. KAMP Global and Eventim Live Asia share a true global vision for K-pop and the experience to make it happen in unprecedented ways. KAMP LA is a meaningful first step in that direction. There are many more to come.”
Taking place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on Oct. 15 and Oct. 16, the two-day event will also include showcases of Korean culture through food, gaming and arts, as well as notable brands like production company Dingo Music.
