Top OPM hitmakers are set to take the stage at ROUND 2026, a music festival bringing together artists from South Korea and the ASEAN region.
Organizers announced on Wednesday that the Philippines will host the two-day event on April 18 and 19 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The lineup of Filipino performers was revealed during a press conference in Quezon City, which was also streamed live on YouTube.
Leading the local roster is Baguio-based band Cup of Joe, named the most-listened-to Filipino artist on Spotify in 2025, according to National Commission for Culture and the Arts chairman Eric Zerrudo.
Also joining the lineup are Ben&Ben and TJ Monterde, both among Spotify Philippines’ top local acts.
They will perform alongside HORI7ON, the all-Filipino boy group that debuted in South Korea in 2023 and was previously announced as part of the festival.
On the Korean side, singer-songwriter 10cm—who will also host the event—and duo MeloMance will headline. Both acts are widely known for their popular K-drama soundtracks.
Artists from other ASEAN countries were also announced via ROUND’s social media pages. These include Chillies (Vietnam), Regina Song (Singapore), Tilly Birds (Thailand), Pamungkas (Indonesia), JoJo Miracle (Laos), Mimi Fly (Malaysia), Velocity (Myanmar), G-Devith (Cambodia), and Syafiq Abdilah (Brunei).
ROUND aims to “promote exchanges between Korea and ASEAN countries by utilizing popular music,” according to its official website.
Filipino artists who have previously graced the festival include Ben&Ben, SB19, Zack Tabudlo, KAIA, and 1st One.
