Now in its seventh year, the annual international jazz festival will turn the entire island into one huge jazz event, with stages all around the island. All of the eight festival stages, including the main stage, "Jazz Island," are within ten minutes walk of each other.
This year's festival will feature a total of 68 bands, including 34 professional groups from both Korea and overseas. Some of the best-known acts include the Watts Project, led by world-famous drummer Jeff Tain Watts, and Dutch saxophonist Candy Dulfer.
Other notable musicians who will be performing at the festival include guitarist Stanley Jordan, known for his unique tapping technique, and Kyle Eastwood.
With so many performances in such a short period, visitors are strongly advised to consult the schedule on the festival homepage to make sure they don't miss any of their favorite acts (Korean only).
Admission to the festival costs 30,000 won for adults and 21,000 won for students, and attendees will also receive a 5,000-won coupon which can be used at multiple stores in Gapyeong County. All the shows are included in the price of festival admission, except for performances on the Jazz Island and Party Stages.
