Korea Gig Guide

Summer Breeze Blows (Out)

Looks like the Summer Breeze concert, which was supposed to be help next weekend, has been canceled. Not a huge surprise, I guess. While it was nice to see people trying to organize so many music festivals this summer, most looked pretty underwhelming. And most of these wanna-be promoters do not seem to understand the Korean concert market and its many difficulties.

Speaking of summer festivals, what did people think of Pentaport this year? Sadly, I was working straight through the weekend and did not have a chance to check it out. But from the blogs and newspaper articles I read, it seems like people enjoyed it (hey! pictures).Feel free to comment if you went and have any opinions on this year’s show.
