SPOTV K-Pop Awards 2026 reveals first performer lineup

The 2026 SPOTV K-Pop Awards (SKA) has unveiled its first wave of performers, building early anticipation for this year’s ceremony.

Organisers confirmed that RESCENE, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, and AND2BLE will take the stage, offering fans a mix of rising and buzzworthy acts to watch.

The awards aim to continue the legacy of the Circle Chart Music Awards, combining data-driven results from Circle Chart with global fan voting, giving international audiences—including European fans—a direct voice in the outcome.

The ceremony is scheduled for September 6, 2026, at KINTEX in Ilsan, South Korea, a major venue frequently used for large-scale K-pop events.

While this first lineup highlights newer names, more artists are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, potentially expanding the show’s global appeal.

For fans in Europe, the SKA continues to be one of the accessible award shows to follow online, thanks to its international voting component and growing focus on global audiences.

Further details on performers and voting are set to be released soon.
