82WORLD: LA Opens October 17 With P1Harmony, xikers and ATEEZ on the Lineup
82WORLD: LA brings a two-day K-pop festival to LA State Historic Park, with six acts scheduled for October 17 and ATEEZ headlining the October 18 programme.
Los Angeles is preparing for two days of K-pop at LA State Historic Park. The festival’s official name is 82WORLD: LA—not “2WORLD”—and the event dates are Saturday, October 17, and Sunday, October 18, 2026.
According to the official 82WORLD event website, Saturday’s line-up is P1Harmony, AMPERS&ONE, xikers, 8TURN, GIRLSET and cosmosy. ATEEZ takes the Sunday programme. The official festival artwork also features the Japanese group BE:FIRST, so fans should rely on the organiser’s full programme and any subsequent schedule updates for the most accurate day-by-day details.
Six acts on the opening day
Saturday puts performers with different backgrounds on the same bill. P1Harmony, who have spent several years developing an international touring audience, appear alongside xikers and AMPERS&ONE. The billing also features 8TURN, GIRLSET and cosmosy, offering a chance to see acts at different career stages in an outdoor Los Angeles setting.
Rather than one group’s stand-alone tour stop, 82WORLD offers a shared festival context. For listeners, the advantage is variety: a single ticket can introduce artists whose discographies and stage identities do not always overlap.
ATEEZ on October 18
The following day’s programme prominently features ATEEZ. Festival appearances differ from a group’s own arena tour, so fans should avoid assuming the set length, stage production or song list will match a separate headlining concert. The official festival running order and site guidance should be checked close to entry.
Practical information from the organiser
82WORLD’s ticket page advertises single-day and two-day passes, including an optional enhanced club82 experience. A published price can change with ticket class and current inventory; visitors should check the official checkout before committing to travel.
The venue is Los Angeles State Historic Park. Because the programme spans two days, attendees should verify which date covers their preferred artist. The festival site provides its own grounds map and event information; individual artist social posts may not include practical entry instructions.
An event built for discovery
The attraction of a multi-act festival is not only the biggest name on the poster. Shorter or different-format festival performances create another route for fans to discover groups they might not otherwise seek out. The KWaveScope A–Z news record connects this single event to the artists taking part without counting the event several times as if each entry were independent news.
As of this report, the performances are scheduled rather than documented as completed. A later report would be needed before making claims about actual sets, attendance or crowd response.
