Pentaport Rock Festival and Jisan Valley Rock Festival
Late July
Korea’s two most exciting rock festivals were held on the same weekend last year. Fortunately, that’s not the case this time around. The first festival to take place will be the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival (July 23rd – 25th). This festival celebrates Incheon as a five-port city, but let’s not get bogged down in etymology. The lineup includes Hoobastank, Stereophonics, LCD Soundsystem, and Dir En Grey in addition to Korean bands like Hot Potato. The venue is Dream Park near Geomam Station (Incheon Airport line). W88,000 – W165,000. pentaportrock.com, 1544-1555.
UPDATE: Having trouble getting your Pentaport tickets on Interpark? Try reserving them through WhiteNoize instead. Please email your ticket reservations (name, phone number, and number and type of day tickets) to whitenoizeparty@gmail.com
If that doesn’t quench your thirst for mosh pits and ringing ears, you can hit up the Jisan Valley Rock Festival the next weekend (July 30th – August 1st). Enjoy rock and the outdoors at the Jisan Forest Resort in Icheon. Get set for international artists like Massive Attack, Pet Shop Boys, Muse, Corinne Bailey Rae and Third Eye Blind. Those staying overnight can camp at the designated site. W99,000 – W191,000. Camping costs W15,000.
