Beyond the stages, fans explored a variety of festival experiences inspired by “Newtopia,” including the Weverse Booth, Torriden Booth, Upbit Booth and other interactive activities throughout the venue. Together, these experiences transformed the festival into more than a concert, offering attendees new ways to connect with artists, fellow fans, and the broader festival community.
