Quick answer: The 5SOS Seoul concert is on Thursday, November 19, 2026, at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1 in Goyang, as part of the “EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour.” It is the Australian pop-rock band’s first Korean show in about nine years, since the 2017 Pentaport festival. The floor is standing only, with reported prices from 143,000 won up to a 320,000 won VIP package. Korean press lists a 7:30 p.m. start, while some resale sites list 7:00 p.m., so confirm on your ticket.

Why Is This Show a Big Deal?
5 Seconds of Summer formed in Sydney in 2011 and have sold more than six million concert tickets worldwide, according to Sports Kyunghyang’s English-language report. Their last Korean appearance was the 2017 Pentaport Rock Festival, so this is the first Seoul show on their own headline tour in nearly a decade. For fans in Japan, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, where the tour also stops, it is a short flight for a single-night trip.
What Are the Date, Venue and Ticket Prices?
The concert is on November 19, 2026 at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1. Every ticket is standing-only, and reported prices range from 143,000 won to 320,000 won for the VIP package. Sales ran through NOL Ticket (artist presale May 11, general sale May 13), so the main windows have passed. Check the listing for what remains before you book flights, and be wary of resale prices that run well above face value. Because the floor is all standing, arriving early matters if you want a spot near the stage.
How Do I Get to KINTEX From Seoul?
KINTEX sits in Ilsan, Goyang, northwest of central Seoul. Take Subway Line 3 to Daehwa Station and continue by bus or on foot, or use the GTX-A line to Kintex Station for a faster ride from Seoul Station. Budget 40 to 60 minutes from downtown, and expect a crowded trip back since last trains run around midnight. Our guide to getting around Seoul covers T-money cards and late-night options, and the LANY Seoul concert guide walks through a full KINTEX night.
Where Should I Stay?
Staying in Ilsan keeps the walk home short after a late show, but there is little to do nearby. Staying in central Seoul gives you sightseeing by day and about an hour of transit on show night; our where to stay in Seoul guide compares the neighborhoods. Late November is shoulder season, so it is worth it to compare Seoul hotel rates for your dates🏨 or check availability near the Line 3 corridor🏨 early.
How Do I Build a Trip Around the Show?
Land at least a day before the concert so a delay does not cost you the show. From the US you can compare flights into Seoul✈️ for mid-November dates. The show is on a Thursday, so a weekend either side works well. If you want more live music, see the fall 2026 Seoul concerts roundup and the Jason Mraz Seoul concert guide, which plays the same KINTEX hall five days earlier on November 14.
