On the 13th, Mint Paper — commemorating its 20th anniversary — signaled a new chapter and unveiled the festival’s second lineup for Beautiful Mint Life 2026 (hereafter BuMinLa).
After tickets went on sale, BuMinLa immediately led NOL ticket sales and hit No. 1 on YES24’s daily chart, propelled by a “20 days, roughly 20% off” promotion. Riding that momentum, the second lineup raises expectations by blending established festival draws with promising newcomers — a reminder that MPMG consistently delivers standout festival programming.
The first wave of artists already announced included Ahn Ye-eun, AMP, N.Flying, Yeon-jeong, Jung Seung-hwan, Car the Garden, Touched, Peppertones, Gunni, Dragon Pony, Roy Kim, So Su-bin, Shim Kyu-sun, Jang Ki-ha, KICK and Ha Hyun-sang.
On May 30, the bill features Soran, who recently marked a new chapter with the single “Drawing an Apple”; Lee O-wook, winner of Sing Again 4 and viewed as a torchbearer for the rock-ballad tradition; singer-songwriter EATS, who continues to broaden his fanbase; Tuesday Beach Club, noted for its dreamy yet warm sound; modern-rock outfit Deca, returning from a long hiatus; and Jacking Kong, whose jazz-pop sensibilities have won over audiences.
On May 31, the lineup includes AKMU, the consistently reliable duo celebrating their 10th anniversary and teasing a fourth studio album; three-piece O-wol-oil, fresh off a successful solo concert titled “Aqua”; mixed-gender band Kadi, formed on Superband 2 and known for explosive vocals and high-energy performances; emotional duo Oksangdalbit, who offer comforting, soul-stirring music; singer-songwriter Ozone, noted for his smooth, honeyed voice; and playful animation-rock band Kkachisan.
Organizer MPMG said, “To mark Mint Paper’s 20th anniversary, we’re opening a new chapter for BuMinLa at the Oil Tank Culture Park. By designing stages that reflect the venue’s unique character and bringing back signature programs like the ‘Mint Culture Sports Center,’ we aim to offer audiences an experience that delivers fresh emotion and more enjoyment than in previous years.”
Official tickets for Beautiful Mint Life 2026, running May 30–31 at the Oil Tank Culture Park, are available through NOL Ticket, YES24 and Naver Reservation. A third lineup will be announced on April 2. For schedules and additional details, visit Mint Paper’s website and Beautiful Mint Life’s official social media channels.
