Anyone going to this? Are tickets available until the event itself? Its got a decent enough line up, Underworld with others, http://www.pentaportrock.com/ they had the chems last year. Are there any other decent music festivals on in Korea this year?

[goo_stewart]

Call me stupid, but I can't find the date for it. when exactly is it?

[ds_fan]

cant be bothered trailling through the site again, however from memory its the 17th july weekend, think friday and sat night, so if i went, coming from south west, id need the friday off work and would be a state on the monday morning.

Just another opportunity for Korean businessmen to make a lot of money off of a second rate product. What's new?

[ds_fan]

It will be good to see Radiohead in Korea.

Radiohead is NOT going to play in the land of the morning,midday, and

evening scam anytime soon.

The band and their management have too much of that 'Common Sense',

which is so dreaded in this 'sparkling' metropolitain country.

i can understand being negative about being ripped off by a recruiter or verbally raped by a hagwon boss, but dear god. what kind of sad act says that radiohead have too much common sense to play in this scammer country? What kind of gimp reads information about a music festival happening and decides to say that its not worth going to because its just a way for koreans to rip people off and make money out of a 2nd rate product.

Seriously, if things are that bad for you here then get on a bloody plane and stop acting like 14 year old emo depressed children, granted korea isnt all good and a load of shite happens, but get a life.

[lokog]

We will see.

[Cthulhu R'lyeh]

Lineup reeks. 'Nuff said.

[ernie]

you have to admit, decent big name acts are few and far between around here... neil young and bob dylan? hahaha fooled ya... how about duran duran, toto, and sum 41 instead?

[ds_fan]

i know its hard to see dedent bands here, thats why it interests me, plus its not always about the line up, so long as its pritty good, the atmosphere is equally important

I went last year and I thought it was pretty decent . We got a camping ticket for maybe 130k or 160k (I forget which)for the 3 days and it was good value. The cost off food and drink inside was reasonable too - not anyone than you'd pay on a night out in Seoul and we had no problems taking loads of our own booze in.

Overall it was a much better experience than UK festivals (at least as far as value and facilities go) but at the end of the day if the line up is going to be poor then you're not going to enjoy it.
