Bali’s first-ever Waterbomb Festival is set to make waves this September — we’ve got the villas for those who want to make a splash.
For the first time ever, Waterbomb — the global music festival where K-pop meets water-soaked fun — is coming to Bali. On September 6-7, 2025, GWK Cultural Park will transform into a high-energy playground of splash zones, giant water cannons, and a lineup featuring top K-pop artists and international DJs.
First launched in Seoul before making waves in Tokyo, Bangkok, and Singapore, Waterbomb Festival has sold out in every city it’s landed in. Now it’s Bali’s turn to dance, sing, and get gloriously drenched. Here’s what you need to know.
When and where will Waterbomb Bali 2025 be held?
K-pop fans mark your calendars. This September in Bali, the island’s beaches and skies will come alive for Waterbomb Bali, a festival that blends world-class performances, water-themed entertainment, and Bali’s unbeatable atmosphere.
Location: Bali’s breathtaking southern shores
Music Line-Up: A high-energy mix of K-pop idols and international DJs
The Twist: Giant water cannons, splash zones, and all-day beach vibes
With the turquoise waters of Bali as your backdrop, Waterbomb is more than a concert — it’s a cultural celebration and a reason to dance until you drop.
Why should I go and what should I expect at Waterbomb Bali 2025?
This year marks Bali’s first major K-pop music festival, with an international roster of artists set to perform across two unforgettable days. The first big reveal? A rare reunion from K-pop legends 2NE1, joining a lineup that will grow as the festival date approaches.
Other headliners include the charismatic Zico, and powerhouse soloist Kwon Eunbi — with more big names to be revealed as the festival date approaches.
Whether you’ve followed the Hallyu wave for years or are new to the K-pop scene, Waterbomb Bali 2025 is shaping up to be a bucket-list music event in Southeast Asia.
Is there anything else happening outside music performances?
Waterbomb Bali is more than a stage and a setlist. Organisers are rolling out the K-City Project, bringing the best of Korean beauty, fashion, food, and lifestyle brands to the island. Expect K-pop culture in Bali to take over airport billboards, shopping malls, beach clubs, and hotels all weekend long.
