Pentaport's English and Japanese sites up
Like Formoz in Taiwan, the Pentaport Rock Festival in South Korea falls on the same weekend as Fuji, allowing for some acts to pull double duty that weekend and entertain fans in two different countries. The festival's web site now includes information on the event in both English and Japanese.
Taking place just outside of Seoul at the Songdo Daewoo Motors Field in Incheon City, more than 30 Korean and foreign artists have been announced for the 3rd edition of the three day event (July 25 - 27) and there are many acts still to be added.
Fantastic locals groups such as Gumx, The Moonshiners, Galaxy Express, and a reunited Delispice will share the stage with Fuji Rock performers Feeder, The Gossip, The Go! Team, Princess Superstar, Travis, Underworld, Hard-Fi, Ozomatli, Ellegarden, and Kasabian making Pentaport the premier summer music event in South Korea.
A one day ticket for Pentaport costs 88,000 won (about 9,000 yen). While two and three day passes are going for 132,000 won (about 13,000 yen) and 165,000 won (about 17,000 yen). Camping is available on site for the low price of 10,000 won per person. For those wanting to catch some of Fuji Rock's performers, but also interested in getting out of Japan for a short vacation Pentaport is something you should definitely look into attending.
