Fresh off the heels of 2022 stateside tour dates on the “MANIFESTO World Tour,” ENHYPEN are already starting to fill up their 2023 calendars with another visit to the US. The septet — Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki — are headlining the first-ever We Bridge Music Festival and Expo, and we’ve got the scoop on the event below.
The three-day cultural expo and two-day music festival will be arriving in Las Vegas this spring, with the event taking place Las Vegas April 21st-23rd. The epicenter will be the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, and, notably, We Bridge has enlisted Infinite Prospects Entertainment (IPE), the company responsible for many of the themed details around turning Las Vegas purple for BTS’s 2022 mini-residency. ENHYPEN will be performing at the 12,000 seat arena at Mandalay Bay.
The lineup — which hints at more acts still yet to be announced — includes rising C9 five-piece CIX, ONEUS, soloist KANG DANIEL, and fromis_9.
