A global music festival featuring artists representing Korea and Japan will take place.

According to the XMF Organizing Committee (Chairman David Im), 'XMF 2026 (Xnterstellar Music Festival 2026)' will be held in Incheon on October 3 and 4.

'XMF 2026' is an international exchange event co-hosted by the XMF Organizing Committee and the NPO One-Korea-Japan Cultural Exchange Association, with official support for the first time from the Japan Culture and Entertainment Industry Promotion Association (CEIPA) and the Japan Music Producers Federation (FMPJ).

A source said, "Twenty-two top-tier bands and artists representing Korea and Japan will meet audiences over two days. It will be a rare stage where top Korean and Japanese lineups, who are usually difficult to see together, meet at a single festival."

According to the organizing committee, the festival name 'Xnterstellar' was created by combining 'X' and 'Interstellar'. 'X' symbolizes intersection, connection, and expansion.

The organizing committee stated, "The name reflects XMF's aspiration that new possibilities open when different musical backgrounds and sensibilities meet within a single festival. It conveys the meaning of connecting rather than dividing boundaries, and expanding territories together rather than competing."

David Im Jo Jik-wi (Director) said, "XMF is a joint brand cultivated by Korea and Japan for the first time in history. We aim to develop it not as a one-time performance but as a sustainable cultural ecosystem platform where the music industries of both countries join hands. With this purpose in mind, we plan to present the festival in Japan on the 3rd and 4 next year as well."
