Well, after months of rumors, the folks behind the Peace at the DMZ (aka “Woodstock Korea”) music festival finally unveiled their first lineup for their show celebrating peace, love, and landmines (or something like that).
Running Aug. 6-8 in the DMZ Peace Park, Peace in the DMZ will feature Ray Manzarek & Robby Krieger of the Doors, Skid Row, UNKLE (live), The Youngbloods, Safri Duo, Eddie Halliwell, Peyton, Bobina, Loudness, and Skoop on Somebody. And eclectic group of bands, to be sure, but it is an eclectic idea for a music festival.
Tickets are on sale now and cost 99,000 won for one day, 143,000 won for two days or 176,000 won for three days (196,000 won for three days with camping). For more info, you can check out here (in Korea), or for English ticketing, email ticket@woodstock.co.kr.
You can here Artie Kornfeld talk a bit about Woodstock and Peace in the DMZ here (it is a bit hard to hear, sorry):
There are three parts, but the above section is the most relevant to the Korea show.
(Btw, I think Artie does not like to use the Woodstock name anymore, as he says that the problems of the 1999 reunion Woodstock ruined the word for him.)
