Two-day show set at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium, streamed worldwide across digital platforms

The 2025 MAMA Awards have unveiled their second lineup of performing artists. The ceremony will take place over two days—Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of next month—at Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Stadium. In addition to offline performances, the show will be streamed live across multiple digital platforms for a global audience.

The second-lineup includes aespa, G-Dragon, AID, (G)I-DLE, JO1, Kyoka, MIRROR, NCT WISH, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, and TREASURE. The roster spans everything from up-and-coming K-pop stars to global touring acts, illustrating the evolving pulse of the genre on the world stage.

Notably, G-Dragon, who headlined the MAMA stage as part of BigBang after a nine-year gap last year, has confirmed another appearance, fueling anticipation among fans.

The performances will be divided over two chapters across the two days. On the 28th, Chapter 1 will feature (G)I-DLE—whose latest Japanese EP topped charts—Hong Kong boy group MIRROR, NCT WISH, and TREASURE, who are continuing their global momentum after their third mini-album reached notable first-week milestones.

Chapter 2, on the 29th, will showcase aespa as they prepare for their forthcoming Japanese arena and Asia tours, G-Dragon reaffirming his global stature through his third world tour, AID (a seven-member boy group debuting via Starship’s project), JO1—who recently secured their first world tour and a Tokyo Dome solo show—world-renowned dancer Kyoka from the Street Woman Fighter crew, and TXT, who are currently on a world tour.

This year’s MAMA Awards carry the concept slogan UH-HEUNG, celebrating the moment when singing and dancing unleash a pure surge of excitement. The goal is to craft a K-pop festival that resonates with fans around the world.
