DAY6’s Historic Gocheok Dome Debut on D-Day: A New Milestone for Korean Bands

The boy band DAY6 is set to make history on December 20, becoming the first K-pop band to perform at the Gocheok Sky Dome, signaling a groundbreaking moment in Korean band history.

DAY6 will hold their solo concert, "2024 DAY6 Special Concert 'The Present'", on December 20 and 21 at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Guro-gu, Seoul. This marks the first-ever performance by a Korean band at the dome and their return to the stage after nearly a year since the "DAY6 Christmas Special Concert 'The Present: You are My Day'" in December 2023.

A Year of Records: "The Year of DAY6"

In 2024, DAY6 achieved numerous milestones with their self-produced music.

• In March, the group released their album "Fourever", delivering a message of eternity to their fandom, My Day.
• In September, their mini-album "Band Aid" brought comfort and strength, resonating deeply with listeners.

The title track "Melt" from Band Aid achieved career-high success, clinching the No. 1 spot on Melon’s Top 100 Chart, and dominated Melon’s daily and weekly charts. Additionally, the track "HAPPY" from Fourever gained widespread attention, surging back onto the charts and becoming another chart-topping hit.

Concert Domination

DAY6 has proven their immense popularity with a streak of sold-out concerts across South Korea.

• In April, they mesmerized fans at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium with their 360-degree concert, "DAY6 CONCERT <Welcome to the Show>".
• In September, they launched their third world tour, "DAY6 3RD WORLD TOUR <FOREVER YOUNG>", at the Incheon Inspire Arena.
• 
  

Now, at the Gocheok Sky Dome, the band will wrap up the year with a spectacular special concert, expected to draw around 38,000 fans. Across all three venues this year, DAY6 sold out more than 110,000 seats, showcasing their unparalleled ticket power.

A Decade in the Making

The Gocheok Sky Dome debut marks a significant milestone for DAY6, now in their 10th year. Known for their immersive performances—featuring distinct visuals, stellar live instrumentals, and exceptional vocal prowess—DAY6 promises an expanded and unforgettable experience at the dome.

From their humble beginnings with small theater concerts in 2015 to headlining Korea’s largest indoor venue in 2024, members Sungjin, Young K, Wonpil, and Dowoon continue to craft an enduring and inspiring musical legacy. Fans eagerly anticipate the next chapter in DAY6’s remarkable journey.
