Norwegian DJ Kygo and Dutch DJ and producer Oliver Heldens are among the headliners for a large international electronic dance music (EDM) festival coming to South Korea next month, the event’s local organizers said Thursday.MPC Partners announced the second lineup for World Club Dome Korea 2017, which will be held on Sept. 22-24 at Munhak Stadium in Incheon, just west of Seoul.

Kygo performed at the Rio Olympics closing ceremony last year. This will be his first-ever performance in South Korea.
The lineup also includes Felix Jaehn, Grandtheft, Bakermat, Bassjackers, Bingo Players, Coone, Frontliner, King Arthur, Mija, Nakadia, Noisecontrollers, Ummet Ozcan, Quintino, Sigala, Hucci, Kayzo and Zatox.
“We expect about 150,000 people will attend the festival over three days,” an official at MPC Partners said. “We’re going to invite as many overseas clubgoers as possible by launching a travel package jointly with the Korean Tourism Organization and running a Club Jet.”
