What would summer be if it were not for the sun and the beach along with some great music?

Enjoy all three at Summer Week & T 2010, a music festival especially for those eager to brush off the heat and have a memorable summer weekend.

While other music events are either held at parks (Pentaport Rock Festival) or islands (Jarasum Jazz Festival), the beach event will be held at Naksan Beach, Yangyang, Gangwon Province on Aug. 6 and 7, the first at this location with some of the hippest artists in the world invited to make this a unique opportunity.

SK Telecom, the company behind the project, explained that the event follows the theme of the Full Moon Party held at Ko Phangan, Thailand, and the famous day-long festival held at the Spanish resort island Ibiza.

Aside from the venue, the two headliners will also have local fans excited: Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco.
