Incheon Inspire Arena, South KoreaThu Jun 26 2025
T1 Entertainment & Sports is gearing up for a massive esports and music festival in 2025. The event, called LCK Roadshow T1 Home Ground, will take place from July 25 to 27 at the Incheon Inspire Arena. Spotify is the main sponsor, showing how big companies are getting into the gaming world.
The festival is not just about games. It's a mix of high-stakes matches, live music, and fun activities for fans. League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) and VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT PACIFIC) matches will be held. Fans can also enjoy live performances, interactive booths, and new ways to cheer for their favorite teams.
On the first day, T1's LCK team will play against Gen. G. The second day is special because it features a "Sibling Derby" in VALORANT. T1's 'Meteor' Kim Tae-Oh will face off against his brother 'TenTen' Kim Tae-Young from ZETA DIVISION. There will also be a pre-show match with international content creators, including North American star 'TenZ' Tyson Ngo.
The festival will end on July 27 with more LCK matches. T1 will play against Nongshim RedForce, and the T1 Esports Academy team will challenge DRX Challengers. Fans can enjoy upgraded cheering sticks, chant workshops, and meet-and-greets with players.
Music will be a big part of the festival. Singer Kim Junsu, girl group TripleS, and beatboxer WING of BEATPELLA HOUSE will perform. During halftime, band TransFiction will perform a custom T1 anthem.
Tickets for the three-day pass will go on sale at NOL Ticket starting at 2 p. m. on June 30. More details about pricing, session times, and venue logistics will be released soon.
Josh Ahn, T1's Chief Operating Officer, said that the partnership with Spotify makes the Home Ground festival a complete esports and entertainment experience. Fans will have a big role in shaping the event's atmosphere.
