Five Indian Artists To Join Global K-pop Stars At Weverse Con Festival India

India is getting ready for a musical moment unlike any other. On March 27 and 28, 2027, New Delhi will host the first-ever international edition of HYBE’s celebrated Weverse Con Festival, bringing together some of the biggest names in K-pop and a diverse mix of contemporary Indian talent.

The excitement has already translated into an extraordinary response, with all five ticket categories selling out within 90 minutes of general sales opening on October 30, following an equally impressive response to the Mastercard pre-sale. The overwhelming demand reflects the anticipation surrounding a festival that promises to bring some of the world's biggest music acts to India.

The star-studded international line-up features K-pop and global powerhouses BUMZU, Dayoung, ENHYPEN, Eric Nam, HWASA, Lara of KATSEYE, LE SSERAFIM, Lee Hyun, Rhea Raj and TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), alongside sharing the festival stage with these global names are five Indian artists Gini, King, RANJ X CLIFR, Reble and DJ Zelo.

For Indian musicians, Weverse Con presents an opportunity to share the stage with global K-pop stars, connect with wider audiences and foster meaningful collaborations across cultures and music communities. With K-pop commanding an increasingly passionate following in India, the presence of homegrown artists adds to this growing cultural exchange, bringing contemporary Indian music into the global spotlight.

As the countdown begins, here's a closer look at the five Indian artists bringing their own sounds, identities and musical influences to this landmark festival.

  KING: The hitmaker bringing Indian hip-hop to the mainstream

From the viral success of Tu Aake Dekhle to the global streaming phenomenon Maan Meri Jaan, King has established himself as one of India's most recognisable rap and pop performers. Known for combining hip-hop sensibilities with infectious hooks, melodic storytelling and an unmistakable stage presence, he has built a following that extends well beyond the traditional rap audience.

His musical journey has also seen him collaborate with international names, including Nick Jonas on Afterlife, introducing his music to an even wider audience. At Weverse Con, King brings an established catalogue of crowd favourites and a distinctly Indian pop-rap identity to the festival.

  GINI: The indie-pop voice bringing emotion to the mix

With her understated vocal style, intimate songwriting and melodic indie-pop sensibility, Gini represents a distinctive side of India's evolving independent music scene. Her music leans into emotion and atmosphere, offering a refreshing contrast to the high-energy performances elsewhere on the line-up.

Known for songs such as Sukoon and Falling Asleep, Gini has been building a connection with listeners through music that feels personal and relatable. Her inclusion brings an independent Indian singer-songwriter perspective to the festival.

 RANJ x CLIFR: Where Carnatic meets contemporary R&B

If musical experimentation is the name of the game, RANJ x CLIFR bring plenty of it to the table. The duo have carved out a distinctive space with a sound that moves between R&B, hip-hop, jazz, house and space-pop, while drawing on their early experiences with Carnatic fusion.

Tracks such as Mutual, UNO and Attached showcase their ability to bring different musical influences together while retaining their individual identity. Their journey from a Carnatic fusion background to contemporary independent music reflects how Indian musical foundations can evolve into fresh, globally accessible sounds.

4. REBLE: The fearless voice of a new generation of Indian rap

Bringing an unapologetic attitude and a powerful lyrical presence, Reble is among the exciting new voices making their mark on Indian hip-hop. Known for her sharp delivery, fearless writing and commanding energy, the rapper has steadily built recognition for a sound that refuses to be boxed into conventional expectations.

Her growing mainstream visibility has been further amplified by tracks associated with the Dhurandhar soundtrack, including Naal Nachna and Run Down the City – Monica. With her ability to move between hard-hitting rap and high-energy performance, Reble represents a new generation of Indian artists carving out their own space in the industry.

  DJ ZELO: Bringing the beats and festival energy

Every great music festival needs an artist who knows how to keep the energy moving, and DJ Zelo brings that electronic and DJ-led dimension to the Indian line-up. With performances built around rhythm, crowd engagement and high-energy mixes, he adds a different flavour to a programme spanning K-pop, pop, hip-hop and independent music.

His inclusion also highlights the diversity of India's contemporary music landscape, where DJs and electronic performers are increasingly becoming an integral part of the live festival experience. At Weverse Con, DJ Zelo will bring a celebratory, dance-floor-ready energy to the two-day celebration.
