5 Concerts by Visiting Artists to Welcome the New Year, January 2027

Fujii Kaze's 〈Prema World Tour〉 Seoul show takes place on Saturday, January 9, 2027, at 6 p.m. at Gocheok Sky Dome. It's one to watch if you want to hear music at a big venue in the first month of the year. It's announced as a single date, so don't count on another weekend or extra shows; plan around January 9.

According to the official ticketing notice, the show is for ages 7 and up, with floor seats at FR 210,000 won, SR 198,000 won and R 187,000 won, and reserved seats at S 165,000 won, A 154,000 won and B 132,000 won. Don't assume "floor" means standing; read the actual seating chart and section details. Since the venue is large, weigh distance from the stage, your companions' preferences and your budget together. The venue is Gocheok Sky Dome at 430 Gyeongin-ro, Guro-gu, and it helps to leave extra time for travel and waiting to get in.

Kenshi Yonezu's 〈GHOST〉 Korea concert takes place three times at Inspire Arena. The full run is listed as January 14–17, but the actual show dates are Thursday the 14th, Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th. There's no show on Friday the 15th, so be careful not to mistake it for four shows in a row. The Thursday show starts at 7:30 p.m., and both weekend shows start at 7 p.m.

Floor seats are 172,000 won, and reserved seats are divided into P 165,000 won, R 154,000 won and S 143,000 won. The ticketing site rates the show for all ages, but if you're bringing children, check the detailed rules on ticketing and guardian accompaniment. The venue is Inspire Arena on Yeongjongdo Island in Incheon, not central Seoul. Deciding on your return transport or overnight stay together with your seat choice can ease the travel burden on the day of an evening show.

The event name includes "Seoul," but Maroon 5's venue this time is KINTEX in Goyang. The show takes place on Wednesday, January 27, 2027, at 8 p.m. in Halls 4 and 5 of Exhibition Center 1, so make sure you don't head to a venue in another city or to KINTEX Exhibition Center 2. Since it's a midweek evening show, it's a good idea to first work out how long it will take to get from where you're starting to Daehwa Station and KINTEX.

Tickets are divided into standing P 167,000 won and R 143,000 won, plus several tiers of reserved seats. Reserved seats range from B 132,000 won to P 242,000 won, while EARLY ENTRY and LOVE IS LIKE VIP are separate premium packages. Don't treat regular seats and packages as the same tier; check the included perks and entry procedures for each. According to the official ticketing site, the show is for ages 12 and up. To be safe, confirm your companions' ages and your chosen section before booking.

Sienna Spiro's first Korea concert, 〈My House Tour〉, takes place on Thursday, January 7, 2027, at 8 p.m. at Myunghwa Live Hall. If you prefer a live hall stage to a concert in a big exhibition center, it's worth a look for early in the new year. First-time visitors can simply head for the venue at 30 Beodeunaru-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu.

Standing and reserved seats are both 110,000 won, so you can choose based on how you like to watch and the nature of each section rather than on price. Check the ticketing notice for entry order and queuing for standing, and for location and sightlines for reserved seats. The show is open to all ages, but if you have young companions, also check what tickets are needed for entry and any guardian requirements. Rather than assuming every song you know will be performed, read the published tour introduction and look forward to the show.

Japanese band Hump Back's 〈HELLO ANEW TOUR SEOUL 2027〉 takes place on Saturday, January 23, at 6 p.m. at YES24 LIVE HALL. It's a good fit for people who'd rather focus on one band's set than hop between many acts at a festival. With a single weekend evening show, it's easy to compare against other visiting artists' concerts that month.

Tickets are 132,000 won for all seats, and the show is open to all ages. Don't judge from the "all seats" price label alone whether it's a reserved-seat or standing show; check the layout and entry rules on the ticketing page. The venue is YES24 LIVE HALL at 20 Gucheonmyeon-ro, Gwangjin-gu. In winter, waiting to get in and storing your coat can affect your experience, so it's worth reading the locker information in advance. The final start time and any changes are posted in the official ticketing notice.
