Gangnam District will host the "2026 Gangnam Picnic Concert x Garosu-gil Design Week" on Saturday, combining a free outdoor concert along the Han River with a daytime street festival on the district's iconic tree-lined boulevard.
The concert will run from 7 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at the multipurpose sports field in Sinsa-Jamwon Hangang Park, a public riverside greenway along the south bank of the Han River.
Seven acts are scheduled to perform, including rock band N.Flying, punk rock pioneers Crying Nut, K-pop vocal group SeeYa, singer-actress Bada, ballad singer Seo Young-eun, pop singer Kim Won-jun and trot singer Park Ji-hyeon. Trot is a Korean popular music genre with repetitive rhythms and emotional vocal delivery.
The 6,400-capacity venue features a picnic zone where attendees may spread blankets while watching the show, which concludes with a fireworks display. Admission is free, with entry wristbands distributed from 11 a.m. at on-site booths.
