SBS Gayo Daejeon 2026 Lineup and Schedule: First 22 Acts and Two-Day Dates

What Is Confirmed for the Two-Day Winter Festival?

The winter SBS Gayo Daejeon 2026 lineup and schedule starts with two confirmed dates: Thursday, December 24, and Friday, December 25, at KINTEX in Ilsan, South Korea. SBS describes the 30th-anniversary festival as its first two-day edition.

Last checked: November 4, 2026. This guide uses SBS's October 23 first-lineup announcement, which names 22 acts. That notice does not assign individual artists to days or provide their stage times.

This is the year-end winter festival, not SBS Gayo Daejeon Summer, a 2025 edition, MAMA, or MMA. Keep that distinction when opening saved posts or search results.

The dates and venue were also confirmed in SBS's October 20 concept-poster announcement. Its earlier reference to a forthcoming lineup should be read alongside the later October 23 list—not as evidence that no artists have been announced.

The First Announced 22-Act Lineup

The October 23 SBS announcement names these 22 acts. The list below preserves the announced names without assigning performance order, ranking, or a particular day:

• Stray Kids
• TOMORROW X TOGETHER
• TREASURE
• ENHYPEN
• IVE
• NMIXX
• &TEAM
• BOYNEXTDOOR
• ZEROBASEONE
• RIIZE
• TWS
• NCT WISH
• RESCENE
• MEOVV
• KickFlip
• Hearts2Hearts
• ALLDAY PROJECT
• CORTIS
• ALPHA DRIVE ONE
• AND2BLE
• EVAN
• TUIDE

Choose the exact act you want to follow and make its day assignment your next question. Inclusion in this combined first announcement does not mean that an act performs on both December 24 and December 25.

Likewise, name order on a poster does not establish stage order, and a day assignment would not establish an individual performance time. Keep those as separate fields in your record.

If your preferred act is not in this first list, the supported conclusion is simply that it is not named in this announcement. Do not treat that as proof of exclusion from every later update. This first announcement is not a final schedule or a promise that no more acts will be added.

Before choosing a day around one artist, look for an explicit original notice connecting that act to that date. A fan-made split of the combined poster is not a substitute.

Check the Day, Ticket, and Viewing Conditions Before Committing

Decide whether you want to attend in person or watch through an authorized service. Both routes need information beyond the combined first lineup.

For attendance, start from official SBS winter-event news and follow any authorized ticket link actually provided. Confirm the exact event year, purchased date, venue instructions, eligibility, and access conditions on the relevant product.

Check whether a ticket product covers one day or multiple days. The festival lasting two days does not establish that a single purchase covers both, and the combined artist list does not identify which day fits your preferred act.

The October 23 announcement cited here does not establish ticket prices, sale dates, a draw procedure, or current availability. That limitation applies to this source; it is not a claim that no separate ticket notice could exist. Verify any later information through its original issuer.

For viewing, inspect the actual broadcaster or authorized provider notice. Confirm the territory, account or subscription requirements, program date, and whether the offering is live, delayed, highlights, or replay. A public announcement about the festival does not grant playback access.

Do not assume a free worldwide full stream, replay availability, or exclusive rights for a particular service without a supporting notice. Nor does a program-page shell, search snippet, or isolated clock time establish a complete broadcast schedule.

Keep three questions distinct before committing: Is the artist assigned to this day? Does the product cover the access I want? What time has the responsible issuer actually confirmed? If one remains unresolved, preserve it rather than filling the gap from another festival or year.

Keep Two Date Records and Convert Only a Confirmed Time

Create separate planning rows for the two festival dates. This keeps a later day-specific announcement from becoming an accidental change to both days.

Attach the October 23 source date and your own last-checked date to the record. The November 4 reference point in this guide is not a substitute for your later check before purchase, travel, or viewing.

South Korea uses Korea Standard Time, UTC+9, including these December dates. Once an official time is supplied, preserve the full Korean date and stated time, then convert it to your destination city and full local date.

Artist Event Time Zone Conversion: Verify the Date, DST, and Calendar Entry explains that process. Your local calendar day may differ from the Korean date.

The cited first-lineup announcement does not establish a start time to convert here. If you use date-only calendar placeholders, label the time unconfirmed rather than assigning midnight or borrowing an hour from another edition. Calendar entries remain your own manual records, not something our plugin automatically fills.

Follow Official Additions for Your Selected Artist

Keep the update scope narrow: the winter 2026 festival and the act you care about. Our Artist updates plugin can optionally help research recent public announcements and their original links.

Editable request: Review public announcements published in the past 24 hours about winter SBS Gayo Daejeon 2026 and [selected artist]. Return up to five distinct meaningful updates in total. Look for official lineup additions, explicit day assignments, published program times, and authorized ticket or viewing notices. Include original issuer links and publication dates. Separate artist-day information from individual stage times, combine duplicate coverage, and flag missing details or inaccessible originals.

The lookback is editable, and five is a ceiling rather than a quota. Source preferences guide the research instead of enforcing a technical allowlist. An access failure or short brief does not establish that nothing new was announced.

The optional plugin runs inside a compatible Agent. Create a manual task or review an AI proposal, checking the event, artist, instruction, supported time, and repeat choices before confirming or cancelling. Inspect the actual saved task, history, and result.

Use Schedule Artist Updates on Android: Create, Confirm, and Check Your Task for the detailed procedure. Edit or pause the same task as your plans change rather than creating overlapping copies.

Local execution can be delayed by device or network conditions. This is not guaranteed urgent coverage, live viewing, private fan-club access, ticket purchasing, or calendar writing. Before acting on an update, open its original notice and verify that it concerns the correct event, year, artist, and day.

Update the Record When New Details Appear

When a new announcement appears, identify exactly what it adds. Another act does not necessarily complete the lineup. A day assignment does not reveal stage order. A broadcast start time is not an individual artist's appearance time.

For a correction, preserve the earlier and later notices and note which field changed. Update the existing manual calendar record when an actual time is confirmed or revised, instead of leaving conflicting reminders active.

If sources disagree, use Official Sources for Artist Updates: Who Can Confirm Each Claim? to identify who can resolve the specific question. The artist's participation, venue entry conditions, and viewing access may require different responsible issuers.

Recheck the current ticket or viewing product near the date you intend to act. A saved poster or earlier announcement should not be treated as an enduring guarantee of access or unchanged details.

Finish with one useful next action: open the latest original winter-event notice and check whether it explicitly assigns your chosen artist to December 24 or December 25. Keep that answer separate from the stage time and ticket or viewing decision. The confirmed two-day dates and first lineup provide a starting point; the next source should answer the particular detail your plans depend on.
