KPOP LUX - MADRID CONCERT
LVCG is pleased to provide further detail on the KPOP Lux Madrid Concert which is set to take place at the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium on 22 June 2023.
KPOP LUX and L.A Rock Entertainment together with SBS, a major Korean terrestrial broadcasting company, present KPOP Lux SBS Super Concert in Madrid with tickets going on sale tomorrow 27th April. The show will consist of seven well-known K-pop acts - 3 of which have been announced as Enhyphen, Ateez and Ive. A further four acts will be announced next month.
Revenue Generation
LVCG generates revenue via Ticket sales, Merchandising, Sponsorship and Streaming. The edition in 2023 is for 1-day. The contract with SBS is for 4-years and is LVCG's intention to increase the number of days in 2024 to 2-days and potentially in 2025 to 3-days. The potential profits of KPOPLUX Madrid could increase disproportionately as and when KPOPLUX moves beyond 1-day.

The team is excited to be working with SBS to bring a new iconic show to Hispanic audiences throughout the world. My thanks go to our producers L.A.
