Pentaport Rock Festival

Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival is a rock festival which is held annually in Incheon, South Korea for three days at the end of July. It is considered one of the biggest live music events in South Korea. The festival covers various genres, but mainly rock and electronic music. The name came from the five main themes of the festival: music, passion, environment friendly, DIY, and friendship.[1]

History

In 1999 the Tri-port Festival was intended to take place at Song-do, which used to be a festival area until 2009. The expected line-up of the Tri-port Festival included Deep Purple, Rage Against the Machine, Dream Theater, The Prodigy and more. However, the event was cancelled due to extreme weather conditions. The festival has revived in 2006 with its current name, Pentaport, and has been continued since then.
