HYBE CINE FEST 2026 Goes Global: BTS, SEVENTEEN, TXT, ENHYPEN and More Coming to Cinemas Across 60+ Territories

K-pop fans around the world will get a new way to experience their favorite artists as HYBE CINE FEST 2026 prepares to bring concerts, live broadcasts and interactive fan events to movie theaters around the world.

Organized by Trafalgar Releasing and HYBE, the week-long festival will take place from October 24 through October 31 across more than 60 territories.

The event marks the first global expansion of HYBE CINE FEST after earlier editions were held in Latin America in 2024 and Asia in 2025. This year’s edition will bring together several of HYBE’s biggest artists and create a shared cinema experience for fans who may not have been able to attend their concerts in person.

Tickets will go on sale worldwide on September 30 at 6 am PT / 9 am ET / 2 pm BST. Regional schedules, participating theaters and ticketing information will be announced through the official HYBE CINE FEST website.

BTS, SEVENTEEN, TXT and ENHYPEN Headline the Festival

The 2026 program will feature six different cinematic presentations, combining live concert broadcasts with previously recorded performances.

Among the biggest attractions are two BTS live viewing broadcasts connected to the group’s “BTS WORLD TOUR ‘ARIRANG'” shows in South America. These screenings will follow specific live and delayed broadcast schedules, with individual times available through the official BTS Live Viewing platform.

The festival will also screen full-length concert films featuring SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER and ENHYPEN, giving fans the chance to revisit major performances on the big screen.

Another featured presentation is HYBE CHEERING PARTY in 3D, which takes a different approach from a traditional concert film by turning the screening into an interactive fan event.

3D Experience Designed for Fan Participation

During the HYBE CHEERING PARTY in 3D, audiences will be encouraged to sing and chant along with the performances while following 3D-enhanced lyrics on screen. Fans can also bring their official light sticks and participate throughout the screening.

The music video lineup represents a wide range of HYBE artists, including BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, LE SSERAFIM, &TEAM, BOYNEXTDOOR, TWS, ILLIT, KATSEYE, aoen, CORTIS and SANTOS BRAVOS.

The format gives fans a chance to participate collectively rather than simply watching a performance, with the cinema audience becoming part of the experience.

Trafalgar Releasing Takes the Festival Worldwide

The decision to expand the festival follows its previous editions in Latin America and Asia. Trafalgar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby highlighted the response to those events while discussing the company’s plans for the global edition.

“Following the incredible response to HYBE CINE FEST across Latin America and Asia, we are scaling this festival format to global cinema audiences. Bringing together major concert films, interactive 3D cheering parties, and landmark live broadcasts across a single week gives fans everywhere an unprecedented way to celebrate their favorite HYBE artists together in cinemas,” Allenby said in a statement.

The 2026 edition will therefore bring the festival concept to a significantly wider audience, with screenings planned across multiple regions during the October event window.

Special Locations Bring More Than Screenings

Selected theaters will offer additional experiences through the festival’s Special Location program. Previously available in Latin America and Asia, the initiative is expanding to North America and Europe for the 2026 edition.

The most extensive venues, designated as Special Location Plus cinemas, will feature interactive areas, official merchandise and limited-edition capsule toys. Other Special Location venues will offer photo zones and message walls, giving fans dedicated spaces to take photographs and leave messages connected to the event.

In select areas, HYBE CINE FEST Stores will also operate as temporary pop-up shops. These locations will focus on official merchandise and capsule toys, giving attendees another part of the festival experience to explore outside the screenings themselves.

With its combination of concert films, live broadcasts and participatory cinema events, HYBE CINE FEST 2026 is expanding the way K-pop performances can be experienced beyond traditional concert venues. Fans will be able to check their local schedules and ticket information when sales begin on September 30.
