K-Indie CNBLUE comes to the Troxy on 5th July

Just when London thought it was bracing itself for the BTS takeover at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, another Korean music powerhouse is arriving first to set the tone. K-rock legends CNBLUE hit the iconic Troxy on 5 July as part of their 2026 “3LOGY” European tour, bringing guitars, drums and soaring vocals to a city deep in the middle of a K-pop concert boom.

For newer fans, CNBLUE aren’t your typical idol group. The trio – Jung Yong-hwa, Kang Min-hyuk and Lee Jung-shin – first emerged as an indie band in Japan in 2009 before officially debuting in Korea in 2010. Their signature blend of rock, pop and alternative sounds helped them carve out a unique space in the Korean music scene long before bands became a major force in K-pop.

Known for crowd favourites like “I’m a Loner”, “Love” and “Can’t Stop”, CNBLUE have built a reputation for delivering electrifying live performances packed with musicianship and energy. Their latest chapter, “3LOGY”, showcases both the classic anthems fans adore and fresh material from their newest era.

With BOICE fans travelling from across Europe and BTS arriving the very next day, London is officially having its K-pop moment – and CNBLUE are kicking off the party in style.
