David Ciclitira, founder and chairman of Live Company Group, said, “I’m pleased to be working with The O2 to bring an incredible K-pop concert experience to fans in London this November. K.Flex is set to be a true celebration of the talents of the K-pop world!”
Steve Sayer, VP & general manager at The O2, said: “We’re so excited to welcome such a broad range of K-pop stars to The O2 this November for K.Flex, with seven incredible performers including Winner, AB6ix, Pentagon and more. K-pop is continuing to take the music industry by storm, and we’re incredibly proud to not only be providing a UK home to this year’s K.Flex concert and next year’s cross-campus festival in September 2023, but also to be hosting the very first UK performances for some of these chart-topping artists. We’re looking forward to K-pop fans from across the world visiting The O2 for what’s sure to be a fantastic night of entertainment.”
