Guys, I was frantically writing this and forgot to publish… hello82 is having their first festival which will take place Fall of 2026! As far as it sounds, time flies so fast. I wonder why it’s in the fall, that makes me intrigued. 

Yes, you are reading the title right. It’s hello82’s “biggest event yet”. Want to hear more? Well, I hate to disappoint, but there wasn’t much information on their website. Even where you purchase, information is slowly going to be rolled out. Honestly, it was so vague that I was a bit scared. However, since I have purchased from them before, I was excited about seeing this. Plus, I was just mentioning the other day how we don’t get to see many events these days. Especially new ones. So, this being hello82’s first festival, that was exciting to hear. If you have any more details, don’t hesitate to reach out to us! We will be doing a review on the venue and event like always!

They said that the world “revolves” around us. Hol’ on hello82, the world has always said it doesn’t revolve around me. Now you’re saying this one does??? Um, sign me up! They double down more in the FAQs saying: it’s “not just a festival”. But “it’s a world built by you”. ME?! I am speechless. Seriously.  And I have to know more.

(update: you will as you keep reading this article).

Also it was not told to us until that post (at least from what I can see), so you didn’t even know about it. Early Bird started on Black Friday (11/28). The price was a fitting $82, and it sold out in less than an hour. Literally everything was included in that base price. This is the lowest it will be and was refundable. I won’t lie; I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t score them. It sounds so reassuring since there isn’t much information offered at the moment. I tried so hard to get the tickets but failed miserably. I have not recovered, but I’ll be fine. 

Update: We got tickets! This is the final Pre-sale tickets! The newest price is $150. A big change from the first price, but I have to say for 2 days??? Totally worth it! I have some predictions on what’s going to be there, but nothings confirmed just yet. We do have inforamtion now from the official page about dates and location!

I am so excited for this. And I know a lot of people are. Like I mentioned before, this is something many people wanted to see. A new festival as I mean it’s been a while since we’ve had a good one that was affordable and iconic. And this one might just be the one. The fact that Hello82 is used to events already with fans and artists, this is just something very on brand. Speaking of fans, it really feels like this was curated just for the fans. The fact they made sure to make the tickets non-transferable and limit it to 2 per person, it speaks volumes. This is a topic for a different article, but right now ticketing is hectic. And planners and organizers must know how to appease the fans. Especially if they want a real experience and the headcount to be mathing, you must follow a certain rulebook. Listen and learn your audience and you’ll see great results. This one showed immediately with it selling out so fast. Knowing the audience and how FOMO gets the best of us all.

 This sounds like just the beginning for this new festival and to everyone going, let us know how it goes. We will keep you updated when they release the lineup and location and other important info (programming, schedule, and on-site experiences)!The only things we know right now is it is held in Los Angeles, California and it is Hello82’s event! 

I wonder if there will be more festival dates. I’m seeing it say “dates”! So, I’m hoping there will be more going on. And most importantly, who will be in the lineup. Honestly, I know so many artists who I associate Hello82 with (as they collab with them so often) and I’m hoping they go. It makes me wonder where the next 82WORLD will be held. Any predictions? Also, we want to hear your thoughts. Drop them in the comments below. And hello Hello82 (:)) ! We want to hear more from you! We would love to help plan or decorate or at least cover the event. Hit us up!

Update: The event will be October 17-18! It will be at LA State Historic Park. Which is nice because transportation shouldn’t be too bad of an issue. Which means more time to explore! It being in a park is interesting! I want to see how this is going to be. I have seen events done here before, but I want to see how it will be. Lineup isn’t announced just yet.

Update: Many were worried if this festival was still going on this October. Let me be the one to bring you news if you haven’t already… IT”S GOING ON AND IT’S A BIG DEAL! The lineup has been announced! Sales for tickets are today at noon! Make sure to grab them! And save some upgrades for us please!

–LINEUP–

The thing we were all waiting for! Remember this is a 2-day event!

Day 1:

P1harmony, AMPERS&ONE, BE:FIRST, cosmosy, GIRLSET, xikers, 8TURN

I am wondering what is set for this day activity-wise. I think they are keeping this a secret. 82 World when I catch youuuuuu!!!

You don’t understand how excited I am with less than 2 weeks away. I am fully unprepared, but still. I hope all the idols have their own section so they can vibe too to all the artist. I know they like to when there’s festivals.

Day 2:

ATEEZ

Yes you read that right. I knew they would be here, but like that????????The full day will be Ateez! And it will be called TINY ISLAND! It is described as a place for Ateez and Atiny! I cannot wait to see them again.

They will have their own panels! This is so fun. The ‘BAD MEGA DANCE CHALLENGE‘ will be 3 of the members: Seonghwa, Yunho, and Yeosang.

an hour later we will see San and Wooyoung with ‘A-rcade‘

next up with ‘TINY RADIO‘ we have your host Hongjoong and Jongho

and last but not least are fixing on to a ‘Listening Session‘ with Mingi

I wonder who picked what or who planned it. I think this will be so fun. I hope they are literally on the same stage and it just changes with stage crew like a play. I think moving around will be kind of frustrating because you will not have time to see all of these equally. Please make sure to give love to all of the members.

–Location–

Los Angeles State Historic Park (1245 N Spring St, Los Angeles, CA 90012). The event is an outdoor event. I’m looking forward to it. Please respect the nature around you and take it in. We are blessed to have it here.

I am wondering how it looks irl. I haven’t researched it, but the map so far, it looks a little narrow so I am wondering how many people are projected to attend.

And again I hope people will respect the nature around them. It would be sad if we can’t have events like this because you can’t just be careful. And care for more than just yourself.

OTHER INFO:

Everything is on their FAQ pages. The one on Fever will give you the most up to date updates. It even mentions that its page is refreshed every 5 minutes.

I read that the days are going to be quite long. Like 10-11 hours long. I am concerned, but high-key excited. Pack wisely (in a clear bag of course). Get rest, freshen up, hydrate. And repeat.

You can’t bring umbrellas of any kind. You can only bring a parasol, which will be soooooo cute!

It was I believe to be projected into that long of a day (about 10-11 hours) but really the event starts at 1pm and ends about 10-11pm. So it’s still a long day don’t think it’s not. However I am so much more okay with this. But then schedules get tricky so make sure to check the guides.

I do really like that we can bring in cameras as long as you follow the specific requirements. I hope that people will abide by all of the rules and keep the festival fun and safe. Don’t ruin it for others. And finally, live! Don’t just stay on your devices the whole time.

Last thoughts:

The camping situation is going to really frustrate me. 7am is already wild when the event starts at 1pm. They said they will not honor people who line up beforehand. And since this event is for the fans, I really hope they honor it. Camping out has always been a problem especially for merch lines and resellers of said merch. And what advantage will people have who arrive at the actual event time? Campers can be chill but a lot of them do it for selfish reasons and ruin the fun of lines.

It’s been so hot in LA too. And it’s a safety thing. I hope that lines go by fast. I hope that everyone just cooperates and the day goes smoothly. I want to have fun and when I bring you guys along, I want you to get the authentic experience. I will not sugarcoat. Even though I am happy to go.

I am really excited about this and I wonder if the layout will change by the day! I have had the opportunity of seeing a handful of these artists so far, so I am excited to see them again and discover new ones!

I hope that they decide to not oversell and overcrowd the place, that way everyone can enjoy everything the way it’s designed. Also I hope that the restroom situation I nice no matter if you are GA or VIP. As well as cool down/rest areas. These are important. And I hope VIP has a few more keepsakes, but everyone has at least one no matter what ticket you got. Also I hope there’s a small benefit for early birds.

I really want this festival to be a recurring no-brainer to go to. Like by default you see it’s happening and you run to it. I am really looking forward to it!

Also if you see one of us, say hi! We would love to say hello to you. And if freebies are okay (which I hope they are at a fan festival), then we would love to give you one! We’re going to make some for this as well.

I am truly wishing this festival the best. It’s so refreshing to see something new and already starting with the audience first. We talked about how events don’t usually prioritize the fans so I am having high hopes for this one. And we cannot wait until we can see more from it! Will be looking forward to seeing everything come together!

We will cover this event to the best of our ability. This being the first 82WORLD event is important and special. And we want to show you why it is so anticipated.
