According to reports, SBS' renowned year-end music extravaganza, 'Gayo Daejeon', is set to make a double appearance in 2024. The decision comes as the production team aims to rejuvenate the event by hosting it twice, once in the first half and again in the second half of the year.
Discussions within the Gayo Daejeon production team have already commenced, with a primary focus on securing suitable venues and assembling a stellar lineup. Similar to previous years, the Inspire Arena in Yeongjongdo, Incheon, is expected to host the event, pending final confirmation.
Speculations suggest that the first installment is slated for July, followed by the second in December. While dates are yet to be officially confirmed, rumors hint at July 21st for the first half and December 25th for the second. This departure from the traditional single Christmas broadcast marks a significant shift in the event's scheduling strategy.
This decision marks a historic moment for 'Gayo Daejeon', as it will be the first televised year-end music festival program to be held twice within a single year. With its inception dating back to 1996, this bold move marks the first time in 28 years that the event will double its annual appearance.
Anticipation is high regarding the event's ability to overcome past challenges. Following various issues encountered in the previous year, including ticket fraud controversies, audience disturbances during the red carpet event, artist stage mishaps, and technical difficulties, all eyes are on 'Gayo Daejeon' to deliver successful and memorable shows in both the first and second halves of 2024.
