After an exciting week of quick announcements, KRAZY Music Festival revealed the full 14-artist lineup for its first-ever iteration in Taipei with top K-pop superstar and Coachella breakout Taemin as a headliner and Mandopop legend JJ Lin joining as a special guest. The unveiling comes ahead of the late September fest marking the first time One Pulse Group brings its signature event to East Asia.
Taking place Saturday, September 26, through Sunday, September 27 at Dajia Riverside Park in Taipei’s Zhongshan District, Taemin and JJ Lin complete a lineup that represents not just Korean and Chinese pop music, but also the global rock, pop and indie scenes.
“Music has always crossed borders and Asian artists are now reaching audiences on a truly global scale,” Luffy Huang, founder and CEO of One Pulse Group, said in a press release statement. “We created KRAZY with the ambition of becoming a global Asian music festival brand, one that connects artists with new markets, brings fans closer to cultures beyond their own and gives each host city a meaningful role in the experience. We want to build a platform that creates lasting cultural exchange and expands what an Asian music festival can represent on the world stage. Taipei is a defining step in that vision.”
The vision includes splitting the weekend into two distinct programming blocks.
Saturday’s “KRAZY COOL DAY” is said to be built around sleek performance, live musicianship and genre fluidity with Taemin being joined by the likes of legendary K-diva BoA, K-pop pioneer and superstar soloist Sunmi, K-rock band CNBLUE, breakout rock-pop star WOODZ, international chart-toppers P1Harmony as well as beloved boy band PENTAGON coming to the festival as part of their 10th anniversary plans.
Meanwhile, Sunday’s “KRAZY HOT DAY” leans into powerhouse vocals, dance-driven sets and cross-market pop, pairing JJ Lin’s special guest performance with EXO member and solo star Baekhyun, one of Korean rock’s biggest names from one of its biggest bands in Wonpil of DAY6, PENTAGON’s solo star KINO, globally beloved girl group ITZY, international indie-rock force DPR IAN and NYC multi-platinum singer-songwriter MAX.
It ultimately marks a savvy move on KRAZY’s part when Taipei is a must for K-pop, K-rock and Mandopop tours and the festival is effectively delivering two different shows under one brand. Scroll down for the full lineup.
What Sets KRAZY Music Festival Taipei Apart
Beyond its themed days, KRAZY Music Festival Taipei is also implementing an important structural difference —one most likely to matter to fans and set it apart from its rivals.
Rather than the typically short showcase rotations that define much of the K-pop and Asian-pop festival circuit, KRAZY Taipei is programming sets of roughly 30 to 60 minutes per act with some performances also supported by live bands or professional dance teams.
Meanwhile, everything outside the music stages is also new for the KRAZY brand in Asia.
The Dajia Riverside Park grounds will include a food village, interactive activities for a range of ages, brand activations, and photo installations. For those who have attended past KRAZY events, the festival’s architecture will resemble what was created at past events in the U.S., including its premiere fest in New York in the summer of 2023, and its expansion to Los Angeles for two days in the fall of 2024 that brought out a reported 18,000 fans.
KRAZY says that additional on-site amenities and site details are expected in the coming weeks.

From One Arena Show To An International Festival Brand
KRAZY launched in 2023 as a single-night arena concert in New York’s UBS Arena with the likes of IVE and Kwon Eun Bi, and lands in Taipei three years later as a two-day outdoor festival.
Over time, the festival has not only snagged some of the biggest names in K-pop but also shown its ability to reach beyond South Korea, bringing on the likes of The Kid LAROI, Agnez Mo, KUN, KATSEYE, and more to its lineups.
