{NEWS} SBS's concert in Los Angeles is back under way with a few lineup changes

The SBS K-pop Festival in LA has resurfaced as the SBS K-pop Super Concert in America. The upgraded title and considerably swankier Facebook page was also accompanied by a reworked guest list of K-pop’s most popular idol groups.

4Minute, Infinite and Beast, who were in the original lineup for the now defunct Festival, have been switched out for 2AM, CNBLUE and MBLAQ. Other artists in attendance will be Girls’ Generation, SHINee, 2PM, SISTAR, KARA and Secret. Check the concert’s dedicated YouTube channel for brief introductions from confirmed artists.

There was a confusing delay that worried hundreds of fans who were planning to attend, but the official performance date is now confirmed to be August 10. SBS K-pop Super Concert in America will take place at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA (near downtown LA). Tickets go on sale this Wednesday through Ticketmaster.
