Who Is Playing, and Why Goyang Stadium?
Charlie Puth built his career on radio-friendly hits like “See You Again,” “Attention,” and “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” and this stop marks his return to Korea for the first time in roughly two years as a solo headliner. The show is booked into Goyang Stadium’s auxiliary field — an open-air venue in the same city that already hosts several of the concerts covered in the Seoul-area concerts fall 2026 roundup and the K-World Dream Awards 2026 guide. Goyang has become one of the default landing spots for large international acts touring Korea, alongside the nearby KINTEX complex that hosted LANY’s October 2026 show.
When and Where Exactly Is the Show?
The concert is set for Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 7 p.m., at the auxiliary field of Goyang Stadium (고양종합운동장), according to the official announcement covered by STARNEWS Korea and the ticket listing on NOL Ticket’s official event page. It’s an open-air show rather than an indoor arena, so it’s worth checking the forecast closer to the date — mid-October in the Seoul area is usually mild but can turn cool after sunset.
How Do I Get to Goyang Stadium From Seoul?
Goyang Stadium sits in Ilsanseo-gu, on the same northwestern side of Goyang as KINTEX. The nearest station is Daehwa, the northern terminus of Seoul Subway Line 3, from where it’s a short walk or taxi ride to the venue — the same station used for shows at nearby KINTEX. Expect extra shuttle buses and crowd control around the stadium on the day of a major concert. The guide to getting around Seoul covers T-money cards, subway apps, and taxi basics if this is your first time navigating the city’s transit system.
Where Should I Stay for the Show?
If the concert is the main reason for the trip, staying in Goyang or Ilsan keeps the commute to the stadium down to a few subway stops. If it’s part of a broader Seoul itinerary, central areas like Hongdae or Gangnam still put Goyang Stadium within roughly 40–50 minutes by subway — the where to stay in Seoul guide breaks down the trade-offs between each area.
Mid-October still falls inside Korea’s autumn travel season, when foliage crowds start competing for rooms outside the capital. It’s worth checking hotel availability around Goyang and northwestern Seoul🏨 or comparing rates for the same dates🏨 before the concert crowd fills up nearby rooms. Ilsan Lake Park, a short trip from the stadium, is an easy way to spend a few hours before or after the show.
How Do I Get Tickets?
Tickets are sold exclusively through NOL Ticket, the official Korean ticketing platform — see the official NOL World event listing for seating categories and on-sale windows. Reported pricing at the time of the announcement ranged from standing tickets around ₩154,000 up to a VIP experience package near ₩785,000, with seated sections in between — but prices and any remaining availability can shift as the date gets closer, so it’s worth checking that listing directly before booking flights or a hotel around the concert date.
