The Fact Music Awards 2026

Sep 19, 2026 · Busan Asiad Main Stadium, Busan

The Fact Music Awards (TMA) is one of Korea's big annual K-pop award ceremonies, known for pairing trophies with a stacked lineup of live stages. The 2026 edition returns to Korea for the first time in three years — after being held in Japan (2024) and Macau (2025) — and lands at Busan's open-air Asiad Main Stadium, the host city for the first time. Around 17 acts are confirmed, spanning solo star Lim Young-woong and a broad slate of top idol groups, so it is a chance to see many major artists in a single evening rather than at separate concerts. Confirmed names include RIIZE, ATEEZ, NMIXX, TREASURE, tripleS, ILLIT, CORTIS, xikers, Choi Yena and more.
