Green Plugged Heats Up Summer Concert Season
Posted by: Dain ˑ April 5, 2010 – 8:47 pmBy Dain
Along with the two previously announced multi-day music festivals (The World DJ Fest and The Beautiful Mint Life Fest), the announcement of the Green Plugged two-day music fest tells us that summer’s outdoor music season is about to begin.
Organized by Hongdae club veteran Soundholic, Green Plugged will run May 21-22 at Noeul Park, near World Cup Stadium. There is a HUGE line up, including punk (Crying Nut, No Brain), rock (YB, Kim Chang Wan Band), indie rock (Guckkasten, Moonshiners), hiphop (Outsider, MC Sniper), poppier acts (Clazziquai, W & Whale, etc), and many others (over 50 acts announced so far!).
There will be five stages, which could mean longer sets than the usual 20 minutes bands often get at these festivals. Tickets are of course, cheaper if you buy earlier, so don’t delay. May is gearing up to be a busy month. (Note: The website promises English, Japanese and Chinese information, but as of yet they are not active – Mark)
On a side note, congratulations to the winners at the Korea Music Awards, with Apollo 18 and Guckkasten sharing the Best New Act award, and Seoul Electric Band winning three prizes with their second album Life is Strange. SEB won Best Rock act, Musician of the Year and Best Overall Album. They will be celebrating their success with gigs on April 9 (at Club Ta), April 16 (at Blue Spirit) and April 25 (Soundholic).
