Konkuk University Seoul Campus (May 19–22) and Korea University Seoul Campus (May 19–21) have not released lineups. Korea University’s Ipsilenti is primarily a student-only event, so the public should check the student council’s official Instagram in advance for entry policy.
Yonsei’s main event (May 26–29), Kyung Hee University Seoul Campus (May 27–29), Hanyang University Seoul Campus (May 27–29) and Pusan National University (May 26–28) have not yet disclosed lineups. Each school’s student council will post details on its official Instagram one to two weeks before the festivals.
Most May college festivals open their campuses so the public can use booths and food stalls. However, many schools divide the main performance area into student-only and public zones; student areas admit only those with a valid student ID. For popular artist performances, arrive at least three to four hours early. Check each school’s student council official Instagram in advance for entry procedures and wristband or ticket presale schedules.
