Summer Night Fever at Rock Festival

Summer Night Fever at Rock Festival
How do you spend this hot midsummer night? Don’t you stand the heat all night long with while exhausted? Can you think of anything to cool off? Air conditioner? Beach? Even if you don’t go so far, you can find good thing to beat heat: that is Rock Festival in August. I would like to introduce a brief schedule of the events below. (Unfortunately some festivals,  like Anshan Valley Rock Festival or Jisan World Rock Festival, are not scheduled to be held this year.)

I found something while I organized the schedule of Rock Festivals. That is the genre of Rock festival becomes more various; it includes not only passionate performances but also lyrical ones. Though I don’t limit my favorite genre into one, it left much to be desired with respect to the fact that the color of Rock festival seems to fade. The number of Rock Festival was reduced than last year. But if you want to make your midsummer night more special, how about going and feeling the festival fever at Rock Festivals in Korea?
