Music Day on November 15 features 12 acts: NCT 127, PLAVE, 82MAJOR, NCT WISH, ILLIT, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, LNGSHOT, AND2BLE, IVE, KiiiKiii, CORTIS, and hrtz.wav. The lineup adds IVE, KiiiKiii, CORTIS, and hrtz.wav to the eight acts announced earlier. Which day to attend therefore depends on which date the act you want to see is scheduled to perform.
The first two-day event and official schedule
For the first time in the awards’ history, MMA2026 will take place over two days. Kakao Entertainment’s official announcement in September described it as the first two-day event, and the Korea JoongAng Daily also reported the two-day schedule on June 9. Melon’s official listing shows both November 14 and 15 events starting at 6 p.m. at Gocheok Sky Dome. The time and venue are the same on both days, but the lineups differ, so checking the lineup for your preferred act is a practical way to choose which day to attend.
