Jeonju to host international music festival
Swiss band 69 Chambers
The Jeonju Ultimate Music Festival (JUMF) will feature classic local acts and international bands at the Jeonju Sports Complex from Aug. 4 to 6.
JUMF features a line-up of artists including the hottest rock bands of the 1980s ― the golden age of Korean rock, the first-generation indie bands of the 1990s, and the sensational idol groups that created the Korean wave.
Special international guests include Japanese rock band, Hanato Chiruran and the Swiss heavy metal trio 69 Chambers.
Tokyo act Hanato Chiruran recently performed at SXSW in Texas as part of a world tour.
69 Chambers, fronted by Nina Treml, born in Seoul to Swiss parents, had its international debut at Incheon Pentaport Festival in 2007.
The JUMF New Song Open Competition and performances by legendary Korean popular music artists are planned for the first day of the festival.
Tickets cost 105,000 won ($94) for a three-day pass, 85,000 won for a two-day pass and 65,000 won for a day pass.
