lol tbh it wasn’t GREAT weather, cos it rained for a while…but it sure was great festival atmosphere, and definitely will be going again!

Btw, aren’t fuji rock and pentaport sharing their artists? Like the Go! Team’s playing in both and so are a few other acts.

I think I heard somewhere that the Cribs might be playing, which I’m not really fussed about, cos I’ll be seeing them for the third time then :/

I wouldn’t say that it’ll be too hard for foreigners to get tickets, since most Korean sites have an English counterpart anyway. If it proves too hard, I’m sure there must be a kind, Korean-proficient friend about you somewhere lol

Are you guys all living in Korea atm? We should all meet up at Pentaport lol

1. Feel? Well, this is just the third Pentaport, so I think it is still evolving its vibe. Local artists tend to walk around in the crowd. I seem to recall the Japanese artists doing the same. Big Western acts were more removed, depending on the act.

But the first Pentaport had some really tough weather. Last year was the only time they have had great weather and a real festival vibe. I think if they get decent weather again this year it will go a long way toward establishing the event in people’s consciousness.

2. I believe it is quite easy to buy tickets. Being a journalist, I am embarrassed to say that I have not needed to buy Pentaport tickets myself. But none of my foreign friends have complained about the process (that I recall).

do keep us updated. the line-ups are going to help me decide whether i want to go to fuji rock, summer sonic or pentaport. i’ve got two other queries that i hope you can help me with:

1. what’s the festival feel like? is it like fuji where artists tend to walk around with the crowd and check out other stages as well or are they going to be just schmoozing with the rest backstage?

2. how difficult is it for a foreigner to purchase tickets for the festival? is there an existing/recommended resource on this available?

thanks man.
