Rapper Psy and several other artists managed by YG Entertainment, a leading entertainment agency in South Korea, will hold a joint concert in Beijing in October, the agency said Thursday.

The concert titled "YG Family 2014 Galaxy Tour: Power in Beijing" will kick off on Oct. 19 at a football stadium in Beijing, the company said in a statement.

The YG artists have been on a concert tour of major Chinese cities and Southeast Asian countries since June.

The lineup will include global star Psy, who recently released "Hangover," girl group 2NE1, boy bands BigBang and Epik High, and rookie group Winner.

Samsung Electronics Co., the world's largest smartphone maker, will sponsor the event, helping to fund publicity and marketing activities in China and providing brand-new smartphones and audio equipment, it added.

The YG artists previously held joint concerts in the Japanese cities of Osaka and Tokyo in April and May. (Yonhap)
