Music Bank Global Festival 2026 Japan lineup: the 8 acts, from MISAMO to CORTIS
TWICE appears twice on the bill — the unit MISAMO and member NAYEON as a solo act — alongside Stray Kids, aespa, IVE, BOYNEXTDOOR, NCT WISH and CORTIS.
The organizers announced this 8-act first lineup on September 11, 2026, the same evening the earliest presale opened.
More acts are planned, according to the official announcement.
Which act performs on which of the two days has not been announced yet, so a TWICE fan planning around MISAMO versus NAYEON should watch the next lineup release before choosing a day.

Dates, doors and venue
The festival runs Saturday December 12 and Sunday December 13, 2026, with doors at 3:00 PM and the show starting at 5:00 PM (planned).
The venue is MUFG Stadium — Japan National Stadium — at 10-1 Kasumigaoka-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.
It holds 66,727 seats officially, and the 2025 edition drew roughly 140,000 attendees over two days.
Kokuritsu-Kyogijo Station on the Toei Oedo Line (A2 exit) is a 1-minute walk, and Sendasuge or Shinanomachi on the JR Sobu Line are each about 5 minutes on foot.
22,000 JPY a day, 40,000 JPY for 2 days — and the 150,000 JPY premium seat
A reserved seat costs 22,000 JPY for one day or 40,000 JPY as a 2-day pass, per the September 11, 2026 press release from the organizers.
The 2-day pass saves 4,000 JPY against buying two single days at 44,000 JPY total.
Premium Lounge Arena seats run 150,000 JPY for one day and 300,000 JPY for two days, in limited quantity — 7.5 times the regular 2-day pass.
Each person can buy up to 2 tickets per show, for every seat type.
Presale windows and what to do by September 23
The official earliest presale for the 2-day pass runs September 11, 7:00 PM through September 23, 11:59 PM Japan time.
The Premium Lounge 2-day presale closes earlier, on September 15 at 11:59 PM — 8 days before the regular presale ends.
The Premium Lounge package includes a guaranteed arena seat, an air-conditioned dedicated lounge, a buffet with free drinks including alcohol, and a dedicated entrance and cloakroom.
If you want a Premium seat, apply before September 15; if a regular 2-day pass is enough, you have until September 23, but single-day tickets have no announced window yet.
What is not confirmed yet — and what to watch next
The KBS broadcast date has not been announced as of September 13, 2026.
The general (non-presale) ticket sale window, the Day 1 versus Day 2 artist split, and the size of later lineup waves are also not yet announced.
