The 2022 Genie Music Awards is all set to have an incredible mix of artists at this year's festival. The fourth and final set of musicians were announced on Sunday, November 6, and the latest set revealed the global artists that the music festival had teased earlier. It includes PSYCHIC FEVER, a Japanese group from EXILE TRIBE, and Peder Elias, a Norwegian singer, song-writer and producer.

When it comes to Korean artists, the 2022 Genie Music Awards lineup ranges from Twenty-Five, Twenty-One’s hit OST singer JAURIM and recent sensation BE’O to veterans such as PSY, SNSD’s Taeyeon and fourth-generation groups such as (G)I-DLE, IVE, TEMPEST. As is evidently clear, the lineup comprises a mix and match that will suit every viewer’s taste.

Meanwhile, the Genie Music Awards’ red carpet was recently canceled. On November 4, organizers announced that there will be no on-site coverage or red carpet events in light of the 10/26 Tragedy, aka the Itaewon tragedy.

After South Korea declared a mourning period for the many young lives lost, the organizers stated:

“Genie Music has decided to hold the award ceremony in as quiet and calm of an atmosphere as possible out of the desire to mourn together [with the nation].”

The 2022 Genie Music Awards will be held on the same date on November 8, as was previously announced, at the Incheon Namdong Gymnasium. However, it will not be as grand as before. Fan voting for the groups also ended on November 3.
