The last piece of this autumn's first Korea-Japan joint music festival in Incheon is in place. On 11 September the XMF organising committee posted "XMF 2026 Timetable Released" to the notice board of its official website, fixing the running order for both days. It follows the earlier "XMF 2026 Final Lineup" notice, less than a month after the lineup itself was settled.

According to the record registered with KOPIS, Korea's performing-arts database, XMF (Xnterstellar Music Festival) runs from Saturday 3 October to Sunday 4 October at the Culture Park outdoor stage of Paradise City in Jung-gu, Incheon. Both days start at 11.30am and the age guidance is 7 and over. A one-day ticket is registered at 132,000 won. The festival is presented jointly by KJ Dream, the Japan-Korea Cultural Exchange Association (an NPO) and the XMF organising committee, with KJ Dream as producer. A Korean promoter and a Japanese cultural-exchange body sharing the presenter credit says most of what there is to say about the festival's character.

The official lineup page lists eleven acts for the first day, 3 October: Ado, LUCY, YOUNHA, coldrain, FTISLAND, hrtz.wav, MIKA NAKASHIMA, My Hair is Bad, Novelbright, ONEWE and PEOPLE 1, with YUNA YABE as the opening DJ.

The second day, 4 October, has DAY6, ONE OK ROCK, YB, UVERworld, Ae! group, Hi-Fi Un!corn, Marcy, Saucy Dog, Splayit, THE FIX and Xdinary Heroes, with EMNW as the opening DJ. That is twenty-two acts on the main stage across the two days, plus two opening DJs. Korean and Japanese acts are split roughly half and half on each day.

Set times for individual artists have to be checked separately: the official notice provides them only as an image. If you are planning to go, read the timetable image on the notice board of the XMF website directly. The same board carries a "YURINA HIRATE cancellation" notice posted just before the timetable, confirming that the lineup changed as it was being finalised. Notices about a paid shuttle-bus service and its reservations, and about pre-orders for official merchandise, are also posted there. Tickets are sold through YES24 Ticket and Melon Ticket.
