Event organisers MIK (Magic Sound Ltd) have applied to Brent Council to stage a weekend festival in Northwick Park.
Residents have until January 14 to object to proposals for the Made In Korea festival, which could run from 12 noon to 10.30pm across June 6-8.
Organisers have previously run shows at the 02 and Wembley Arena and held a similar event in Southwark Park in 2022 with acts including Red Velvet, EXO’s SUHO, Pentagon, VIVIZ, CHUNG HA, Golden Child, Cherry Bullet and Billlie, alongside Korean rappers Jessi, Loco, Gray, Lee Hi, and Jay Park.
In their application they say the main stage would showcase Korean and Chinese International acts “born out of the Korean Pop movement (K-Pop), now a globally recognised music genre.”
The festival area would closed off behind steel shield fencing with around 40 food stalls, two bars and merchandise outlets.
Entertainment across the weekend might include spoken word, plays, films, flash mobs and dance.
The application states: “The intention is for MIK to take place over a weekend (2 days). Whilst dates are pending at the time of writing, the speculative dates will be the 7 – 8 June 2025, with approximately 10 days prior for construction and 5 days following for derig.
“The London Borough of Brent (LBB), and specifically Northwick Park, have been chosen by the organisers due to the borough’s diverse population and access to public transport, walking and cycling facilities. MIK 2025 will provide a youth-led boost to Brent’s local economy.”
The full application (33756) can be seen on the Brent Council website and comments can be made with a deadline of January 14, 2025.
