[Diary Point=Reporter Park Bo-young] The final lineup for 'MMA2026' has been confirmed with 26 acts. The show will run over two days, on November 14 and 15, both starting at 6 p.m. at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul.
This year marks the first time the Melon Music Awards will be held across two days. Anticipation is already building ahead of the show, with IOI reuniting on stage for the first time in about nine years, alongside appearances from Aespa, IVE and key NCT units.
14 acts including IOI and Aespa to perform on November 14
On the first day, November 14, the stage will feature IOI, Aespa, NCT DREAM, ATEEZ, RIIZE, TWS, Choi Yena, Lucy, Hearts2Hearts, Dragon Pony, IDID, AN, Tuide and HANA.
Notably, IOI will meet fans through this performance following their reunion. Aespa, NCT DREAM, ATEEZ and RIIZE — groups that have recently made strong showings on the charts and major stages — round out the first day's lineup.
12 acts including IVE and PLAVE to take the stage on November 15
On the second day, November 15, performers will include IVE, KiiiKiii, CORTIS, Heartsway, NCT 127, PLAVE, 82MAJOR, NCT WISH, ILLIT, ALPHA DRIVE ONE, Longshot and &WIDE.
Viewers hoping to see IVE, PLAVE, NCT 127 and ILLIT should plan to tune in on Sunday. Since the lineups differ by day, fans planning to attend in person or watch the live broadcast should first check which day their favorite act is performing.
Live streaming in Korea via Melon and Wavve
Domestic viewers can watch both performances in real time on Melon and Wavve. Melon's official MMA2026 information page lists both the November 14 and 15 shows as starting at 6 p.m.
Broadcast options vary by country for international viewers, and Melon has also announced a livestream for overseas fans via the Melon or 1theK YouTube channels, though some countries may be excluded from viewing.
Category voting continues through November 13. After checking the final lineup and casting their votes, fans can watch the IOI and Aespa lineup on Saturday, November 14, and the IVE and PLAVE lineup on Sunday, November 15.
