Huge music festival where crowd gets soaked by water hoses coming to Toronto
Mark your calendars, music lovers: one of South Korea's biggest music and entertainment festivals, Waterbomb, is officially coming to Toronto in 2027.
The festival, which brings together internationally acclaimed K-pop personalities, live music performances, and epic water fights in South Korea's capital city of Seoul, has now set its sights on the 6ix.
Organizers took to Instagram to share the news with their hundreds of thousands of followers, captioning the post, "TORONTO, IT'S TIME. WATERBOMB is touching down in 2027."
The announcement also encourages interested Toronto residents to sign up for the festival's newsletter for early access and more information.
As of now, no dates or further details are available about the Toronto event, but the announcement has already ramped up excitement.
Music and festival lovers in the city are welcoming the news with open arms, with the comments section quickly flooding with eager party-goers. "YASSSSSS TAKE ALL MY MONEY," one Instagram user commented, while another chimed in, saying, "UR KIDDINGGGG."
There have also been plenty of calls in the comments for K-pop sensations like South Korean boy bands ATEEZ and MONSTA X, as well as singer and dancer Wonho, to join the roster of performers at WATERBOMB Toronto, which will likely take place in the spring or summer of 2027.
The festival in Seoul, taking place on July 24 and 25, 2027, recently released its Artist Wishlist, allowing the general public to vote on who they want to see perform. Now, it's up for speculation whether the same concept will help determine the performers for the event's Toronto counterpart.
Some may be holding their breath following the announcement, as a North American expansion has been in the works for quite some time. After announcing shows in both Los Angeles and Las Vegas, organizers postponed the events, citing "operational challenges."
While there is currently no new date for the Los Angeles show, Waterbomb Las Vegas has been pushed from September 2026 to June 2027.
For now, Toronto residents will need to keep an eye out for further developments, early-bird ticket sales, and the star-studded performance lineup.
