Details

Songdo Rock Festival held in Incheon was originally operated by a private business in 1999 but is hosted this year by Incheon City. This outdoor rock festival is a summer festival in which famous rock stars from home and abroad will participate every year. During the festival, a promotion center and a hands-on center will be opened to promote the tourism and culture of Incheon.

Event Programs

The Songdo rock festival will run one main stage and one smaller stage, where all of the outside concerts can be thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Many famous rock stars from home and abroad are expected to perform exhilarating and exciting concerts during the festival. A laser show is also prepared to make the stage more splendid and entertaining.

In addition, the Incheon Promotion Center and the Corporate Promotion Center will be operated to introduce the tourism and culture of Incheon. Not only various pieces of information can be obtained for traveling around Incheon, but specific routes for a tour in Incheon can be also suggested. A digital exhibition and a Korean cultural hall are also planned for visitors to understand Korean culture on a broad-scale.

In the cultural hall, which promotes the Korean Wave(Hallyu), photos, video images, and personal belongings of famous Korean actors and pop musicians will be exhibited. A souvenir shop will be opened for purchasing rock festival souvenirs, Incheon tourism souvenirs, or Korean Wave souvenirs. There will be a ‘Food Zone' in which visitors can taste various kinds of dishes, which will be located inside of the venue.

Major Highlights

Incheon can be seen in a single day by subway from Seoul; thus, it will be wonderful to enjoy a sightseeing tour in the morning and join the festival in the afternoon. For a half-day tour in Incheon, Chinatown is a great place to visit. Especially, because there are many restaurants to enjoy some of the best Chinese cuisine here, which will make it nice to visit for lunch.
For a night tour around Incheon, Songdo amusement park or Wolmi-do where many young people gather around are highly recommendable.
