Your preferred artists should determine your MMA booking date. Check the daily lineup before choosing a ticket package.
Which Melon Music Awards 2026 date should you choose?
Choose November 14 or November 15 according to which artists you want to see: NOL World lists 14 acts for Saturday and 12 for Sunday, while Melon confirms 26 participating acts overall. Your preferred lineup is the starting point for selecting a booking date.

- Find your preferred acts in the complete daily lists, beyond the selections shown here.
- Select the corresponding date in the booking options.
- Verify admission coverage before paying: a weekend schedule does not establish that a purchase covers both dates. Check the package booking options.
Who is on the MMA lineup for Saturday, November 14?
NCT DREAM, ATEEZ and aespa are among the 14 acts listed for Saturday, November 14, at MMA2026. If any of these artists is your reason for attending, Saturday is the date to select in your reservation .
The complete Saturday lineup appears below, preserving the artist spellings in NOL World’s ticket listing :
- NCT DREAM
- ATEEZ
- aespa
- RIIZE
- TWS
- Hearts2Hearts
- I.O.I
- RESCENE
- Dragon Pony
- YENA
- HANA
- IDID
- AEN
- TUIDE
For fans choosing around a particular artist, the practical check is the date attached to the booking option. NOL World’s Japanese listing also instructs customers to check the date-specific lineup before booking. Compare your chosen option with your priority artists before completing the reservation.
Read this roster as scheduled participation. Neither the ticket listing nor Melon’s final-lineup announcement establishes a running order, individual stage times, set lengths, collaborations or award wins. An artist’s position in the list should therefore play no part in deciding when to arrive. Choose the day around the artists you want to see, while leaving expectations about the performance sequence and stage format open.
Who is on the MMA lineup for Sunday, November 15?
The Sunday, November 15, MMA lineup lists 12 acts, including NCT 127, NCT WISH, IVE, PLAVE and ILLIT, according to NOL World’s ticket listing. If those are the artists driving your booking, choose the Sunday option and check that the selected ticket explicitly covers that date.
- NCT 127
- CORTIS
- ALPHA DRIVE ONE
- NCT WISH
- IVE
- PLAVE
- 82MAJOR
- ILLIT
- KiiiKiii
- LNGSHOT
- hrtz.wav
- AND2BLE
For NCT fans, the distinction is between units: NCT 127 and NCT WISH are listed for Sunday, while NCT DREAM is listed for Saturday, November 14. An NCT-related appearance on a particular day does not imply that every unit will attend that day. Match the full unit name to the booking date rather than relying on the shared NCT name.
The same date check matters for fans of IVE, PLAVE and ILLIT: their listed appearances are on November 15. The event name alone is insufficient when choosing a ticket. NOL World’s booking guidance also tells customers to check the date-specific lineup before purchasing. Recheck the official lineup before payment, then make sure the date in your booking selection matches the artists you intend to see.
What should international fans check before booking and collecting NOL World tickets?
Before paying for NOL World tickets, confirm the selected date, admission coverage, final payable price, seat category, package inclusions and refund conditions. Use the booking options to check the exact product you intend to buy; the “ticket package” label alone does not establish everything included. Keep the booking terms and your confirmation accessible for collection.
- Selected date: Check that the option and checkout summary match the performance you want.
- Admission coverage: Confirm exactly which performance the purchase admits you to; do not assume it covers the entire weekend.
- Final payable price: Review the checkout total and currency before authorizing payment.
- Seat category: Read the seating description and allocation conditions before choosing an option.
- Package inclusions: Check each listed benefit. Treat accommodation and transport as included only when your chosen option explicitly says so.
- Refund conditions: Read the cancellation terms before committing, especially if your travel plans remain unsettled.
For collection, follow the instructions on NOL World’s Japanese listing:
- Find the ticket booth displaying the NOL World logo.
- Arrive during the listed 1:00–6:00 p.m. collection window .
- Present your reservation confirmation and passport to collect the ticket.
“※ Nol Worldのロゴが表示されたチケットブースをお探しください。” — NOL World, collection instructions. English translation: “Please look for the ticket booth displaying the Nol World logo.”
The collection window closes at 6:00 p.m. , matching the event’s listed 6:00 p.m. start on Melon’s official information page . Plan to arrive earlier so you have time to collect your ticket and enter before the performance begins. Treat collection and entry as separate steps when planning your arrival.
Can fans watch MMA2026 overseas instead of attending in Seoul?
Yes—Melon’s official event information lists overseas YouTube viewing through Melon or 1theK, subject to country exclusions, alongside regional broadcast services. Check the official viewing information for the route available in your location; the announcement does not mean every channel is accessible worldwide.
Before making viewing plans, work through this short checklist:
- Confirm country eligibility. Check whether your location is excluded from the overseas YouTube broadcast.
- Identify the official service. Follow Melon’s information to the applicable channel or regional broadcaster, then check its access requirements rather than assuming viewing is free.
- Convert the start time. The listed start is 6:00 p.m. Seoul time on November 14 and 15, 2026 . Check the corresponding local date as well as the hour.
Treat broadcast access separately from admission: streaming is not established as an inclusion in the NOL World ticket package. If you plan to attend, choose the date listing your preferred acts and confirm the booking terms. If you plan to watch remotely, confirm an eligible official viewing route before setting your reminder.
