Festival Guidelines and Ticketing
Tickets will officially go on sale on May 22, 2026 (Fri) at 12 PM. To ensure fair distribution, a limit of 4 tickets per person per date has been implemented; this limit is strictly enforced by summing all IDs that have undergone identity verification—meaning multiple IDs cannot be used to circumvent the purchase cap.
Prospective attendees should be aware that all bookers are considered to have read and agreed to the terms listed on the detailed information page, as cancellations, refunds, or changes to booked tickets are not permitted if they result from a lack of familiarity with these instructions.
For those selecting bank transfer as their payment method, the deposit must be confirmed by 23:59 on the day of booking. If the deposit deadline passes without confirmation, the tickets will be automatically canceled.
A bit about 넬
Emerged from the fertile underground scene of Hongdae in the early 2000s, 넬 (Nell) has spent over two decades carving out a singular, emotionally devastating niche in the Korean rock landscape. Eschewing the bright, choreographed sheen of mainstream K-pop, they are the undisputed architects of atmospheric melancholy, weaving dense, cinematic soundscapes founded on Kim Jong-wan’s ethereal, haunting falsetto and deeply introspective lyrics. Their music, often described as a cathartic journey through despair and hope, masterfully blends alternative rock, post-rock, and electronic elements into anthems that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant. With seminal albums like Healing Process and Separation Anxiety, Nell didn’t just build a discography; they created a sonic sanctuary for the disenchanted, cementing their legacy as a profoundly influential act whose songs resonate with a timeless, aching beauty.
