London’s Southbank Centre has announced details of a Korean Games In Concert orchestral gig, featuring the music of Lies Of P, Black Desert and more.
The K-Music Festival is taking over several London venues between September 28 and November 23, 2026. “From folk traditions and experimental sound art to gaming soundtracks, jazz, hip-hop and indie rock, K-Music Festival returns to showcase the depth, diversity and creativity of Korea’s thriving music scene,” explains a press release.
The opening night will see a celebration of Korean music take over the EartH Theatre with performances from ADG7, Lil Cherry & GOLDBUUDA and Chang Kiha while trailblazing gayageum player Kyungso Park and award-winning master of the six-string electric bass Björn Meyer will take to the Royal Albert Hall on October 29 for “an intimate cross-cultural dialogue in sound and texture”.

Now, you can hear them like never before in a breathtaking performance that bridges heritage and contemporary culture,” explains the event listing.
As well as music from Black Desert and the Land of the Morning Light: Seoul expansion, fans will be able to hear music from Lies Of P, Solo Leveling: Arise, Skul: The Hero Slayer, SANABI and Let’s Get Rich alongside visuals that “capture the majestic landscapes of historic Seoul and the royal Gyeongbokgung Palace.”
