N. Korea’s mass games to begin in June, run for two months longer than in 2018

Controversial show’s early start could result in tourism boost worth millions of euros

The North Korean “grand mass gymnastics and artistic performance” -- known unofficially as the “mass games” -- will begin in June and run over two months longer than last year, according to various tour companies.

Young Pioneer Tours (YPT) announced in a blog post Sunday that the event would be “starting in late June this year and running all the way through October,” while Koryo Tours announced Monday it would begin in “early June.”
