The final lineup for the 2024 Busan International Rock Festival, the country’s longest-running rock music festival has been announced

Taking place from October 4 to October 6 at Samrak Ecological Park, the festival will feature performances from 78 different acts over three days.

The newly revealed final lineup includes artists such as Harry Big Button, So Soo-bin, Jambinai, Taiwan’s KST, and Indonesia’s Mad Madman.

These acts join previously announced headliners Kasabian, Anne-Marie, and Japan’s ELLEGARDEN, alongside popular domestic and international performers like Kookkastan, Jannabi, AKMU, Silica Gel, HYDE, FT Island, SPYAIR, Starsailor, and Lee Seung-yoon.

In addition to the live performances, the festival will expand its participatory programs, offering a fun and interactive experience for attendees.

Highlights include an upgraded version of last year’s popular ‘Village Singing Contest’, the audience-engaging ‘Samrak Game Heaven’, and a special cooking class led by nutritionist Kim Min-ji.

The 2024 Busan International Rock Festival is also part of ‘Festival October’, a city-wide cultural initiative.

This collaboration will enhance the festive atmosphere and provide visitors with even more entertainment options, further establishing Busan as a global tourist destination.

‘Festival Shiwol’ runs from September 30 to October 8 across Busan, encouraging natural interaction and communication among participants.

During the festival, convenient services such as a circular bus between the Samrak Ecological Park Auto Camping Site and the main event venue, as well as a shuttle bus, will be available for attendees.
