KPOP Festival Adds Second Performance
Live Company Group (LVCG.LN) is a live events and entertainment group admitted to trading on the AIM market of the LSE in December 2017. Today the Group has grown to include: BRICKLIVE, a children’s education and entertainment brand platform that provides creative and interactive content in the form of events & shows; Bright Bricks, the production centre for brick-based models; Parallel Three Six Zero which promotes BRICKLIVE exhibitions in North America; and LCSE that manages sports, entertainment, and lifestyle brand events globally.
A second day to the K-POP Festival has been added: Given a sold-out stadium for the KPOP Flex Festival planned for 14 May 2022, a second date has been added.
Tickets go on sale for a second day on 15 February 2022: The KPOP Flex Festival is planned for the 14th and the 15th of May 2022 with the show starting at 6pm at the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt which holds 44k people. Ticket prices range from €68 in the upper stands to €168 for front of stage/standing room, or €198-328 for VIP seating.
The first KPOP mega concert of its time: The concert includes seven bands on Day 1, Ive, (G)-Idle, NCT Dream, Enhypen, Mamamoo, AB6IX and Kai (Exo). The combines social media following for Day 1 artists is over 48m. Artists for Day 2 include the addition of IVE and ONEUS to (G)-Idle, AB6IX and Monsta X. the combines social media following for Day 2 artists is over 17.5m so far. This is the first concert as part of a five-year program dedicated to the growth of KPOP’s popularity across Europe. The event will also include a fan-fest that celebrates Korean culture on the grounds of the Deutsche Bank stadium.
A JV with Explorado Group: Recall the event is being staged by KPOP Europe in partnership with PK Events and the Korean Broadcaster SBS Television Network. KPOP Europe is partnership between LVCG and Explorado Group.
The revenue breakdown: KPE (50% owned by LVCG) is the Touring Promotor for the event earning 40% of all sponsorship revenue, 100% of net revenue from on-line merchandising, 75% of revenue from merchandising at the event, 100% of broadcast and streaming rights ex-Korea, an annual consultancy fee of €200k and 40% of ticket sale profits. At an average ticket price of €70, the ticket sales alone for the two days is ~€6m. This has the potential to double or more from merchandising sales. Recall that KPE paid US$400k out of the total US$1.75m financing cost for the event. Ticket sales for the event reached the break-even point once they surpassed 26k
Merchandise will be available on site at the concert but also on the www.start.art, online platform with works by KPOP stars. Original works by KPOP starts Ohnim and Yooyeon, from the band Winner, and from Henry Lau will be showcased and available for sale at the festival.
