Five music venues across Busan will unite this weekend, hosting over 30 live music acts for the first ever Busan Calling Music Festival on Friday and Saturday.
Although in its first year, this festival is actually a rebrand of last year's Debaser Fest, run by Jamie Finn, editor of Debaser Magazine.
"I was never super keen on the name Debaser Fest. It was a decision made with deadlines approaching. So, to keep things simple, I named it after the mag," Finn admitted.
"We've called it Busan Calling to reflect the aims of the fest, which is to build a bridge between the really underrated Busan music community with other musical places."
