Was here for the Blackpink concert. We were drenched because of the heavy rain but had so much fun! Traffic was crazy, so definitely plan your travel ahead. Can stay opposite the stadium at Sultan Hotel for convenience, just walking distance. Managed to skip the traffic and didn’t have to squeeze with the crowd. Good vibes overall.
