Waterbomb Festival is an annual summer music festival launched in Seoul in 2015. It is widely known for its thrilling mix of live music and fun water-based activities like water cannons and water gun battles.
Adding to the excitement, artists are divided into two teams (categorized by colors) for a friendly water battle, following an announcement of a winner at the end of the festival.
This year’s Waterbomb in Seoul featured performances by big K-pop names, including Twice’s Nayeon, Taemin, Jay Park, Hyuna, and more.
Waterbomb Manila is taking place at the Quirino Grandstand on February 22 and 23, 2025.
