2007 INCHEON PENTAPORT ROCK FESTIVAL - KOREA

* Date : Friday, July 27th – Sun, July 29th

Place : Song-Do Dae-Woo Motors Field

Woodstock, Glastonbury, Fuji Rock, and Coachella...

To any discerning lover of rock music, the names of these cities conjure up evocative images of throngs of humanity all united under a brilliantly blue summer sky, everyone's attention rapt and focused on the electrifying presence of some great band onstage.
Certain to be added to this list in the near future are Incheon, where the 2007 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival will take place.

In this, the Incheon Pentaport's second year, popular acts such as The Chemical Brothers, L'Arc~en~Ciel and Muse will be coming to the 2007 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival as the headliners. Ash, Damien Rice, London Elektricity, BT, and Testament are also expected to help make this summer the hottest ever in Korea.
Much has changed in the Korean music scene since Incheon first hosted the Triport Rock Festival back in 1999, which would later be reborn and renamed as the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival (named after the 5 ports: airport, seaport, teleport, business-port and leisure-port).

Though once passed over as a worthy touring destination by many artists, Korea, in the past couple of years, has hosted spectacularly successful shows by huge names like Oasis, Metallica, Muse, and Marilyn Manson. And with the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival growing bigger by the year, the stage is now set for this nation to rock like never before.
With an aim of forming a part of city development strategy since the mid 9 0s with which represents 5 elements of the festival concept. i.e Music, Passion, Environment friendly, D.I.Y and Friendship.

The Incheon Pentaport Festival does not frame itself around certain political or environmental issues such as Woodstock did or Glastonbury does. However, it does seek to pose the question of how we, as a globe, are going to survive in a time of increasingly rapid change and turmoil? How will we deal with cultural and ideological differences and communicate with each other in this, our globalize 21st century?
The answer proffered is nothing other than the miracle of music itself. It is a truism that great music can bring together diverse people of vastly different cultures and backgrounds. But as the 2007 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival hopes to demonstrate, it is the simple truths that are often the most profound.
Music-lovers everywhere are invited to come and share in the fun, sunshine and merrymaking!
