The 40th Golden Disc Awards will be held on January 10, 2026 at the Taipei Dome. The awards show has announced its first lineup today.
Confirmed to be taking part in the event are LE SSERAFIM, IVE, NCT Wish, ENHYPEN, ALLDAY PROJECT, izna, ZEROBASEONE, ZO ZAZZ, and CORTIS.
LE SSERAFIM adds to the excitement with their fourth consecutive appearance since debut. Having recently performed at Tokyo Dome with a solo concert, they have had a remarkable year. They are loved for their diverse genres, from the lyrical fifth mini album HOT to the distinctive first single album SPAGHETTI. Having set legendary stages at the Golden Disc Awards every year, LE SSERAFIM will present another unprecedented and extraordinary performance.
IVE, attending for the fourth straight year, is preparing a special stage only seen at the Golden Disc Awards. Shortly after debut, IVE made history at the 37th Golden Disc Awards by sweeping both the rookie award and digital music grand prize. They have also graced the Lollapalooza stage for two consecutive years, transforming into a performance-driven idol group. IVE is nominated for both the digital music and album main prizes with “REBEL HEART” and IVE EMPATHY.
NCT Wish returns to the Golden Disc Awards after last year. Shining with the rookie award last year, NCT Wish achieved a consecutive million-seller milestone with this year’s release COLOR and is nominated for the album main prize. Their popularity in Taipei is tremendous as well; their first performance there in May sold out completely and received major local media coverage, proving their explosive local popularity.
Global sensation ENHYPEN is also a must-see. ENHYPEN had a fruitful year, entering a Japanese stadium in just 4 years and 7 months after debut—the shortest period for an overseas artist—and performing at Coachella, the US’s biggest music festival, last April. Known for their sincere dedication to the stage and strong performances, expectations are high for ENHYPEN’s return with an even more polished show.
