For the first time, the D-awards is making its way to Paris for its European debut and leaving Seoul. Now entering its third year, the mega line ceremony is to take place across two days on January 15 and 16, at Paris' Plénitude Arena.

October 14th saw an announcement revealing an incredibly strong line-up with Tomorrow X Together set to take to the stage. MOAS will have plenty to look forward to, with the group's upcoming album PERFECT STORM released on November 16. That’s not all, as eldest member YEONJUN takes to his own solo stage. Hot off his latest solo album, NO LABELS: PART 01, and title track “Ice Cream”, he no doubt will once again showcase just why he’s labelled a K-pop all-rounder.

Also joining the line-up are KickFlip, who performed at the first D Awards a month after their debut, and rising girl group KiiiKiii, who went on to secure their first daesang at the SPOTV K-Pop Awards in September. Rookie boy group IDID rounded off the announcement, having made a strong impression within the industry by winning a Music Bank trophy just twelve days after their debut. With these additions, it highlights the next generation of K-pop, seeing them take centre stage.

The excitement began with its first lineup announcement, when it was revealed that Twice's Jihyo will serve as both main MC and performer. She will be joined alongside by icons DPR Ian, P1Harmony, Yena, Kiss of Life, Ampers&one, Rescene, AlphaDriveone, LNGSHOT, and ANDBLY.

The third D-AWARDS is co-hosted by Sports Donga and WSM and co-organised by WSM and Storypeak Global, with Channel A as the domestic broadcast organiser.

For fans hoping to attend, the first round of Priority Booking has already sold out. However, a 2nd round of priority booking at Trip.com will be coming soon. Put 20th October in your diaries, as the next five artists will be revealed and announced at 5pm CEST - 12pm KST time. For all updates and news, follow D-awards here. With tickets and details here.
