The event organisers on Wednesday announced the highlights of the 2025 MAMA Awards, featuring performances by more than 25 acts, ranging from rookie groups to K-pop veterans.
The award show, returning to Hong Kong for the first time since 2018, will take place at the city’s 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium, four times larger than the previous venue at the Asia-World Arena.
With over 15 awards up for grabs, the show will be held across two days, on November 28 and 29.
The sold-out event is expected to draw K-pop fans from across the world to Hong Kong, including mainland Chinese fans discussing how to travel to the venue on social media platform RedNote.
