Waterbomb, South Korea’s iconic summer music festival, is making waves on the global stage with its most ambitious world tour yet. After successful expansions in 2023 and 2024, Waterbomb 2025 is set to drench 13 cities worldwide this year.
Launched in 2015 as a Seoul-based festival, it has evolved into a global phenomenon, blending high-energy K-pop, hip-hop, and EDM performances with interactive water fights. The festival first ventured overseas in 2023 with stops in Bangkok, Tokyo, and Nagoya, followed by a 150,000-strong turnout across Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Fukuoka in 2024.

Unlike traditional music festivals, 2025 Waterbomb thrives on audience participation:
- Epic water battles with cannons and water guns.
- Star-studded lineups featuring K-pop idols, rappers, and DJs (past performers include Jay Park, TWICE’s Nayeon, SHINee’s Taemin, Hwasa, Kwon Eunbi, and Jessi).
- Special effects and themed zones, from VIP champagne lounges to massive photo booths.
This year’s tour kicked off in Manila on February 22-23, with BamBam, Oh My Girl, Kang Daniel, Jessi, and Sunmi performing on the show.
