Music festival in Cheongju
By John Redmond
Music venues in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, will host a music festival, “Cheongju, Live from the Moon” at four locations, on April 13. The name Moon is in reference to JoongMoon, the Chungbuk National University district in which the festival is being held. The festival will be host to over 15 acts comprised of over 60 musicians and jugglers. There are three rock venues involved (Pearl Jam, Road King, Soundgarden), as well as a free afternoon outdoor stage, all within about a minute’s walking distance of each other.
