Every so often an American or English-singing band will have a tour stop in Korea to/from Japan, although usually that happens in Seoul, on a weeknight. In the past year and a half since we have lived in Daegu, I can recall two bands/singers who came to Daegu: Maroon 5 (hell no) and Richard Marx. Though it’s possible I could be confusing Richard Marx with Michael Bolton or Kenny G. In other words, we haven’t attended any concerts since moving to Korea.
Music festivals are our best bet for watching live music by American/English-speaking bands and there have been a few festivals, including the Pentaport Rock Festival, on our summer to-do list for some time. I don’t think we really considered how hot a summer concert would be – especially one in August — when we purchased tickets for the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival sometime back in April. We certainly weren’t expecting record-breaking temperatures.
