Pentaport Rock Festival

Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival 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.

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. ==Line-ups==
