Nothing But Thieves, Nell, and Jaurim to Headline 2026 Let's Rock Festival in Seoul

The 2026 Let's Rock Festival has announced its first lineup wave, and the bill covers a lot of ground: Nothing But Thieves from the UK share the weekend with Korean rock staples Nell, Jaurim, Guckkasten, Crying Nut, No Brain, and Galaxy Express. The festival runs October 3 and 4 at Nanji Hangang Park in Seoul.

This year marks the festival's 20th edition (it launched in 2007), and organizer Rockstar Music & Live is leaning into that with the theme BROKEN THE STAGE, a loose signal that the programming will push harder than usual on scale and spectacle. The first-round announcement splits the two days by geography as much as by sound.

On day one, October 3, Nothing But Thieves top the bill alongside Nell, one of Korea's most enduring modern rock acts. Nothing But Thieves have built a devoted following across Asia over the past decade, and a Seoul festival headline is a natural next step for a band that has been steadily expanding its reach outside Europe.

Day two, October 4, belongs to the Korean rock contingent. Jaurim, who have been releasing music since the late 1990s and remain one of the most recognizable names in the country's rock scene, lead a day that also features Guckkasten, Crying Nut, No Brain, and Galaxy Express. Taken together, that second day reads almost like a condensed survey of Korean rock history.

Tickets are available through NOL Ticket. The festival received production support from the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA). A second lineup announcement is expected before the event.
