Korean alternative pop-rock band Catch The Young will make their first appearances at two international festivals this summer.

They will perform at the London Hallyu Festival 2026, taking place on Saturday 4 July – Sunday 5 July at Beverley Park, New Malden, London (KT3 4LL). The festival runs from 11:00am to 9:00pm, with free general entry, including the K-POP concert.

The festival celebrates Korean culture across music, food, and lifestyle, featuring K-POP performances, dance events, contests, fan-participation programmes, K-Culture activities, photo zones, a K-Goods market, and a wide range of Korean street food such as tteokbokki, hotteok, sundae, and Korean fried chicken with beer.

In the evening, Catch The Young will take the stage as part of the live music programme, followed by a DJ party running from 6:00pm to 8:30pm, bringing a full day of entertainment from daytime cultural activities to nighttime performances.

Later in the summer, from August 21st to August 23rd, the band will also perform at the Toronto Korean Festival, held at Mel Lastman Square in North Toronto, an annual event running since 2001.

These appearances mark Catch The Young’s first performances in Western countries since their debut. Both festivals aim to celebrate Korean culture while introducing it to wider international audiences.

We are truly grateful to everyone who has invited us to the festivals in London and Canada. We are so excited and thrilled to meet you all on a stage we have always dreamed of. We hope to bring you joy and create precious memories through our sincere and passionate performances. We will bring you a great show. See you soon! -NAMHYUN
