June Club Day and Han River Festival
June 20, 2008 – 12:48 pmIn addition to the usual end-of-month Club Day, this month there is a huge, two-day festival going on at the Han River this weekend. Called Next Floor 08 (and the Hangang Club Festival), there will be oodles of international DJs and great bands playing all night long, just west of Hongdae in Sangam (technically in Hangang Park, Nanji).
The full schedule is here (in a mix of Korean and English).
Day 1 (Friday, June 27) goes from 6pm to 5am and features Rock Tigers, Belle Mafia, Oh! Brothers, No Brain and more. Around 9-ish, live rock gives way to dance music and DJs.
Day 2 (Saturday) goes from 2pm to 5am, and features Kingston Rudieska (4pm), Windy City (5pm), Nell (6pm), Cocore (9pm) and more. Around 9 or 10, again live music changes to dance.
Friday costs 20,000 won, Saturday 30,000 won, and a two-day ticket is apparently available for 40,000 won (limited quantities, though). There is a shuttle running between Hongdae and the party location… but a taxi should only cost you around 5,000 won.
In addition to the Han River party, there will be a full Club Day going on in Hongdae (although, to be frank, the list of live bands does not look to be the strongest ever). You can see the list of who is playing on the following chart (in Korean only, at least for now, sorry).
(Note: I see the Club Day and Next Floor posters both have a “No Entry Under 19’s and GI” sign. I did not know that was still an issue. Shows how little I pay attention).
One Response to “June Club Day and Han River Festival”
Infected Mushroom? Seriously? I think I paid W40-60,000 to see them last year alone. A steal for an all night festival. What does it say under their logo?
