South Korea’s premier rock music festival, the Pentaport Rock Festival, is set to ignite the summer once again.
Taking place from August 1 to August 3 at Moonlight Festival Park in Songdo, Incheon, the ‘Pentaport Rock Festival’ is hosted by Incheon Metropolitan City and has been held annually since 2006, earning recognition as the nation’s largest outdoor rock music event.
Pentaport was conceived around five core values — music, passion, environment, DIY spirit, and friendship. The festival showcases a wide array of artists from Korea and abroad, spanning genres such as rock, indie, alternative, and post-metal, offering music fans more than just performances but a truly immersive and special experience.
This year’s lineup boasts high-profile acts like Japanese rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Beck, Deafheaven, Hyukoh Band, Galaxy Express, Crying Nut, Adoy, Sunset Rollercoaster, and Balming Tiger, fueling anticipation among music enthusiasts.
Beyond the music, the festival will feature a camping zone, food trucks, art exhibitions, and various spaces for relaxation and leisure, making it an attractive summer destination for those seeking to spend their holidays immersed in music.
Tickets are currently available for purchase through the official website and authorized ticket outlets.
