Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival (Hangul: 펜타포트 락 페스티벌) is a rock festival which is held annually in Incheon, South Korea for three days in August. Launched in 2006, it is considered one of the biggest live music events in South Korea. The festival covers various genres, but mainly rock music and electronic music. The name came from the five main themes of the festival: music, passion, environment friendly, DIY, and friendship.
Location
The festival takes place at Dream Park, southern part of Incheon Metropolitan City. The site is about 30 kilometers west from downtown Seoul and it used to be a landfill of capital area like World Cup Park.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, after being postponed for two months, the festival was held virtually for the first time in August 2020, engaging around 780,000 online viewers. The festival was held virtually for the second time in October 2021.
History
The festival originally started in 1999 under the name Tri-port Rock Festival, a two-day rock festival held in Songdo, Incheon. Among the expected huge line-up were Deep Purple, Rage Against the Machine, Dream Theater, and The Prodigy but the event was cancelled due to operational and logistics challenges in the first year. After a seven-year hiatus, the festival was rebranded in 2006 with its current name, Pentaport. Organized by Incheon Metropolitan City, the Pentaport Rock Festival has since featured aspiring and prominent musicians and collectives from Korea and around the world.
