[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] The "2026 Korea Grand Music Awards" (2026 KGMA) will begin official ticket sales in Korea on the 2nd.

According to the KGMA Organizing Committee, official domestic ticket sales for the “3rd Korea Grand Music Awards,” to be held November 7–8 at Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul, will open exclusively at 6:00 p.m. today via the global fandom platform NOL.
This year’s KGMA will expand not only the main awards ceremony but also the accompanying content for on-site audiences. It will debut “KGMA STAR ROAD,” an offline-exclusive signature content segment that reimagines the traditional red carpet. This format expands the existing pre-event activities into a separate program, allowing fans to get up close and personal with the artists attending the ceremony.
The “K-Beauty Festa” will also be held near Gocheok Sky Dome. Going beyond mere product displays, the event will feature interactive missions and sampling events where visitors can participate directly, creating an experiential space for domestic and international fans attending the awards ceremony to enjoy before and after the performances.
