A Grand Mint ticket starts with a two-day choice. This is a dated listening sample from the lineup announced so far: five names to begin with on Saturday and five on Sunday, before the final timetable changes the shape of either day.
Grand Mint Festival returns to Olympic Park on October 17 and 18, 2026. The ticket notice lists four performance areas—88 Lawn Field, KSPO DOME, Ticketlink Live Arena and the 88 Lake Waterside Stage—and a non-reserved one-day ticket at KRW 132,000. The artist list gives a reader a practical way to choose between the two days.
Read this as a current lineup snapshot
NOL's listing names the first announced artists for each day. Mint Paper's notice board also shows that a second lineup announcement was posted on August 5. This guide therefore identifies its source date rather than presenting a permanent or complete list.
| Saturday sample — Oct. 17 | Sunday sample — Oct. 18 |
|---|---|
| Lee Seung-yoon · Jang Ki-ha · Jukjae · TOUCHED · Peppertones | Roy Kim · Thornapple · CNBLUE · N.Flying · Younha |
These ten names are a P.I.N.S listening sample with a visible source date. The page makes no popularity ranking or individual-set prediction. Current day assignments and direct official artist links belong in the next revision.
The two-day listening sample
Saturday: five names to start a plan
Lee Seung-yoon, Jang Ki-ha, Jukjae, TOUCHED and Peppertones form the Saturday half of this current sample. Use them as five names to explore before choosing the date, then return to the official festival information for the full lineup and stage times.
Choose two names you would be disappointed to miss, then leave one window open. A multi-stage festival becomes memorable when the plan has enough structure to prevent regret and enough space for a set you did not expect to find.
Sunday: a separate five-name sample
Roy Kim, Thornapple, CNBLUE, N.Flying and Younha form the Sunday half. The comparable sample gives the reader another starting point for choosing one day.
The day’s shape will change when stage times arrive. The finished service block will therefore link directly to the festival notice.
The ticket decision is simple; the day is the art
The official ticket listing calls the ticket non-reserved and sets the festival at Olympic Park across the two dates. Pick the day through artists you want to hear, keep the official ticket route saved, and return to Mint Paper before buying for the current lineup and timetable.

What the official highlight can—and cannot—show
Mint Paper’s official 2025 highlight is useful for seeing the festival’s outdoor, multi-stage scale and the way people move through a Grand Mint day. It does not stand in for the 2026 timetable, lineup or entrance information.
