Jay Park comes to Milan: Serenades & Body Rolls Tour with LNGSHOT at Fabrique
Jay Park, one of the most recognizable artists in South Korean hip-hop and R&B, will perform on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Fabrique in Milan. The event is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM, with special guests LNGSHOT, a four-member group operating under his record label MORE VISION. The concert is part of the worldwide "Serenades & Body Rolls Tour", which connects Jay Park's long-standing solo career with his more recent collaborative projects.
Milan is the only announced Italian stop on this tour. Following performances in Asia, Oceania and North America, the European leg brings together melodic R&B, Korean hip-hop, dance rhythms and choreographed performances. Jay Park showcases different sides of his musical identity: a singer rooted in soul and R&B, a rapper with a strong sense of rhythm, and a performer for whom dance is an important part of his stage expression.
LNGSHOT's appearance adds another dimension to the evening, as audiences will experience not only Jay Park's familiar repertoire but also music from artists with whom he has been working closely throughout 2026. For fans of his work, as well as audiences following the development of Korean urban music, the Milan concert offers an opportunity to see these two generations on the same stage. It is worth securing tickets in advance, especially if the concert is the reason for planning a trip to Milan.
What the Serenades & Body Rolls Tour brings
The title "Serenades & Body Rolls" refers to two important elements of Jay Park's music. On one side are slower R&B songs, expressive vocal melodies and lyrics about relationships and attraction. On the other are hip-hop, dance rhythms and choreography, which have been important to his live performances since the beginning of his career. The transition between these styles is one of the defining characteristics of the current concert programme.
An insight into the repertoire comes from the performance held on October 6, 2026, at AFAS Live in Amsterdam. According to the published setlist, the programme included "Ohx3", "Drive", "Like I Do", "Candy", "GANADARA", "Need To Know", "Yesterday", "All I Wanna Do", "Mayday", "Gimme a Minute" and "Taxi Blurr". More energetic sections featured "McNasty", "Mommae", "Keep It Sexy (MOMMAE 2)" and "Sexy 4 Eva".
This list is not a confirmed setlist for Milan. Nevertheless, it shows how Jay Park has structured his European performances, moving from songs that emphasize vocals and melody to sections focused on rap, rhythm and stage performance. Covers of the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" and Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" were also documented in Amsterdam, further demonstrating the breadth of his musical influences. Their performance in Milan has not been confirmed in advance.
The inclusion of collaborative songs with LNGSHOT is particularly interesting. Earlier performances on the tour featured "Run It Up", "No Hi, No Hey", "YEAH! YEAH!", "4SHO 4SHO" and "MOYA". These recordings connect Jay Park's solo past with his current project, in which he performs as a collaborator and mentor to younger artists.
Jay Park: from 2PM to a solo hip-hop and R&B career
Jay Park, born Park Jae-beom, grew up in Seattle in the United States. His musical interests developed through American hip-hop, R&B and dance culture, particularly breakdancing. After moving to South Korea, he joined the group 2PM, with which he debuted in 2008. He left the group in 2009 and subsequently built a solo career that gradually expanded his audience beyond K-pop.
His solo work introduced a different approach to music production and public performance. Rather than limiting himself to a single genre, he developed a repertoire encompassing American R&B, Korean rap, pop and electronic dance influences. Songs such as "Joah", "All I Wanna Do", "Me Like Yuh" and "Mommae" represent different stages of that development, ranging from melodic love songs to energetic club-oriented hip-hop.
Jay Park founded the record labels AOMG and H1GHR MUSIC, followed later by MORE VISION. His work through these projects is important for understanding how he connected Korean artists with the international hip-hop scene. In 2017, he signed with Roc Nation, the record label and management company associated with JAY-Z.
For this reason, the Milan concert is not intended solely as a presentation of new material. Audiences can discover an artist whose career spans the early K-pop era, the development of South Korea's independent hip-hop scene and today's international collaborations with younger musicians. For longtime fans, the return to familiar songs is particularly appealing, while for new listeners, the tour provides an opportunity to hear different phases of his creative work at a single concert.
The album THE ONE YOU WANTED and newer musical projects
An important foundation for the current performances is "THE ONE YOU WANTED", Jay Park's studio album released on October 8, 2024. The 20-track release represents a pronounced return to his R&B sound. The album combines previously released songs with new material, featuring collaborations with artists including IU, Ty Dolla $ign, CHUNG HA, Zion.T, NATTY from KISS OF LIFE and NINGNING from aespa.
Notable tracks include "Gimme A Minute", "Taxi Blurr", "Mayday", "GANADARA", "Need To Know", "Yesterday" and "Your/My". This material clearly demonstrates the range of his vocal approach, from rhythmic dance tracks to slower, more intimate arrangements. The album also reflects his preference for collaborating with artists from different musical backgrounds.
In July 2025, Jay Park also released the single "Remedy", continuing to put out new material outside major studio albums. Throughout 2026, he has devoted additional attention to his project with LNGSHOT, which represents an important part of his current creative activity.
Listeners discovering his work for the first time may find it useful to notice the difference between "GANADARA" or "Need To Know", which emphasize melodic R&B, and songs such as "McNasty" or "Mommae", which rely considerably more on hip-hop and dance performance. This diversity explains why his concert programme can shift from calmer vocal sections to more intense performances before the audience.
Who are LNGSHOT and why are they performing with Jay Park?
LNGSHOT is a South Korean group consisting of Ohyul, Ryul, Woojin and Louis. The group operates under MORE VISION and was publicly introduced as the first K-pop act launched by Jay Park through the company. The group's name is pronounced "long shot", an expression describing an attempt whose success is far from guaranteed.
The group debuted in January 2026 with the EP "SHOT CALLERS". Its tracks "Moonwalkin'", "Backseat", "Saucin'", "FaceTime" and "Never Let Go" combine R&B, hip-hop and contemporary Korean pop. "Moonwalkin'" draws particularly on dance traditions and the influence of Michael Jackson, while the other compositions explore different relationships between vocal sections and rap.
The project "4SHOBOIZ Vol. 2: 4SHOVILLE", released on May 18, 2026, is especially important for understanding the joint concert in Milan. Jay Park and LNGSHOT recorded an eight-track release together, including "4SHO 4SHO", "YEAH! YEAH!", "NO HI, NO HEY", "RUN IT UP", "MOYA" and "THE PURGE 4SHOMIX".
This means LNGSHOT are not joining the tour merely as an unrelated opening act. Their music is directly connected to Jay Park's current work, while the collaborative songs allow their performances to be linked throughout the evening. For audiences, this is an opportunity to hear a young group whose members are already involved in writing and creating their own music.
At LNGSHOT's Amsterdam performance on October 6, songs including "Saucin'", "Backseat", "Moonwalkin'", "Never Let Go" and "FaceTime" were documented, alongside individual performances by the members. The Milan repertoire may differ, but previous performances demonstrate how the group showcases both collective choreography and the individual musical abilities of its members.
Fabrique in Milan: a concert venue with an industrial character
Fabrique is located at Via Gaudenzio Fantoli 9, in the eastern part of Milan, in the Mecenate area. Opened in 2014, the venue was created by converting a former facility associated with the music distribution company Venus Dischi. Today, it hosts concerts, club nights and other musical events.
According to venue descriptions, Fabrique has a modular layout and can accommodate approximately 3,000 visitors, depending on the event configuration. The spacious indoor area, industrial architecture and concert sound and lighting systems allow performances by artists from various genres, ranging from pop and hip-hop to electronic and alternative music.
Compared with large sports arenas, Fabrique offers a concert environment of different proportions. Audiences gather in a space designed for musical performances, and the experience depends on their position inside the venue, the sound system, stage visibility and crowd density. Clear vocals, powerful bass sections and the ability to follow dance choreography are particularly important for Jay Park's programme.
Visitors wishing to be closer to the stage should understand the type of ticket purchased and the entry rules in advance. Some packages include early entry, but this does not mean that a particular position near the stage is guaranteed. It is worth securing concert tickets before planning the remaining details of the visit, especially for travellers arriving from other cities or countries.
Why Milan is an important stop on the European tour
The Milan performance is part of the European leg of the world tour, which included cities such as Köln, Amsterdam and Berlin in early October. Warsaw, Vienna and Zürich also appear on the schedule, with the concert at Fabrique positioned between the Zürich performance on October 15 and Paris on October 20. Further concerts are scheduled in other European cities, including a London performance.
What makes Milan distinctive is that it is the only announced concert in Italy during this part of the tour. For audiences following Jay Park and LNGSHOT, it may be a practical destination for attending the concert together, particularly because Milan has good air and rail connections with other European cities.
Milan is known for fashion, design and its developed cultural scene, but it also offers a rich concert programme encompassing large arenas, theatres and club venues. Fabrique belongs to the latter category, although its capacity exceeds that of small music clubs. This type of setting is particularly suitable for a programme combining vocal passages, rap and choreography.
How to reach Fabrique by public transport or car
Fabrique is not located in Milan's historic centre, so it is best to plan the journey in advance. The venue is near Via Mecenate and can be reached using a combination of metro and tram services. Metro line M4 is particularly useful for visitors staying in the city centre.
- Address: Fabrique, Via Gaudenzio Fantoli 9, 20138 Milan, Italy.
- From central Milan: take metro line M4 from San Babila towards Linate Airport to Repetti station, then tram 27 to the Via Mecenate / Via Fantoli stop.
- From Milano Centrale station: according to the venue's directions, take tram 9 to Piazza Cinque Giornate, followed by tram 27 towards Viale Ungheria.
- From Milan Linate Airport: take metro line M4 to Repetti station, then tram 27 towards Viale Ungheria.
- From the tram stop: the final section of the journey from Via Mecenate / Via Fantoli to the Fabrique entrance is approximately 150 metres.
- By car: access is possible from Milan's eastern ring road, using the Mecenate or CAMM exit. Free and paid parking facilities are available nearby.
For travellers arriving by air through Malpensa, one option is the Malpensa Express to Milano Cadorna station, followed by public transport via San Babila and metro line M4. The exact transport combination should be adjusted to the arrival time.
Drivers should pay attention to Milan's Area B traffic restriction zone. The rules depend on the vehicle category, and the venue warns on its website about restrictions around Via Mecenate. It also states that the private parking facilities directly in front of the building are not managed by the venue.
When planning the return journey after the concert, visitors should check the last public transport departures. The published event start time does not determine when the performance will end, so it is not advisable to assume the concert's duration in advance.
Event start time, VIP packages and entry rules
The Jay Park and LNGSHOT concert is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM local time in Milan. This information should not automatically be interpreted as the exact moment Jay Park will take the stage. The precise schedule of individual performances, possible intervals and general door-opening times has not been confirmed in the available event programme.
Additional information has been published for visitors holding special packages. VIP 1 includes a standing-floor ticket, early entry, attendance at the soundcheck, a meeting and group photograph with Jay Park and LNGSHOT, and a farewell greeting with the artists. VIP 2 includes early entry, the soundcheck and the farewell greeting, but does not offer the same photography opportunity.
Importantly, early entry does not imply a separately enclosed area on the standing floor. The organizer explicitly states that normal entry procedures apply once the early-entry period has ended. VIP package holders must bring their ticket and identification document for check-in. The notice published on October 8 includes the check-in location but not a finalized VIP check-in schedule, so this information should be checked again in the instructions for the specific package.
Fabrique also has rules regarding items that may be brought inside. According to information provided by the venue, bottles and other drinks brought from outside, sprays, professional cameras, power banks and portable chargers are prohibited. Large bags, backpacks and umbrellas are subject to cloakroom storage rules. An additional charge applies for the cloakroom.
If minors are attending the concert, the rules of the specific organizer should be checked, as the venue notes that concert access conditions may vary. Visitors are advised to have their tickets and identification documents ready and allow time for security screening.
Who will find the Jay Park and LNGSHOT concert particularly appealing?
Jay Park's performance may attract several different groups of listeners. R&B enthusiasts will recognize him for his warmer vocal arrangements and songs such as "Need To Know" and "GANADARA". Audiences following Korean hip-hop can expect part of the repertoire to focus on rap, more energetic beats and the musical influence of the AOMG and H1GHR MUSIC labels.
For fans of Korean pop culture, his transition from a former member of 2PM to a solo artist and record label founder is particularly interesting. The same concert programme now also features LNGSHOT, a group he helped develop and with whom he is performing on an international tour.
For fans of dance performances, the combination of choreography and music is especially important. Jay Park has experience in breakdancing, while LNGSHOT present themselves as a group whose performances rely on collective dance, individual sections and interaction between members on stage.
Because of this combination, the concert is not intended exclusively for audiences who regularly listen to K-pop. His repertoire connects Korean and American urban music, making it potentially appealing to listeners of contemporary R&B, rap and dance-pop who want to discover an artist with extensive experience on the international stage.
Planning a visit to Milan around the concert at Fabrique
Visitors travelling to Milan for several days can combine the concert with sightseeing. The historic centre with the Duomo cathedral, the Brera district and the Navigli canals are among Milan's best-known areas, but none is immediately adjacent to Fabrique. Separate travel time should be allocated for reaching the venue.
Accommodation along metro line M4, or at a location offering easy access to that line, can make travelling to the concert easier. The connection between San Babila and Repetti station, from where the journey continues by tram, is particularly convenient. Visitors planning to remain in the city after the concert should check night transport services or consider arranging a taxi in advance.
Fabrique is a concert venue that hosts international artists and various musical programmes throughout the year. The arrival of Jay Park and LNGSHOT further expands its offering towards Korean R&B and hip-hop.
For audiences wishing to hear songs from "THE ONE YOU WANTED", discover material from "4SHOBOIZ Vol. 2: 4SHOVILLE" and see Jay Park's collaboration with LNGSHOT, the Milan evening brings together several important chapters of their music. It is worth checking availability and securing tickets before finalizing travel arrangements, while information about admission, permitted items and transport should be checked again shortly before departure.
