Anyone who’s experienced the nightlife in Seoul is aware that the club scene is very much alive and kicking. Electronic music is very popular here, enjoying the same enthusiastic crowds and djs as the rest of Asia, and the rest of the world. Add to this the gorgeous success of K-Pop in entering the world music scene, and attracting more fans by leaps and bounds every year, and there’s all the makings of a major cultural scene.

Seoul’s hotels are already enough of an attraction to most world travelers, offering glorious spaces to rest in a very restless city. It’s a fantastic time to travel here, and catch up on the new music scene that’s quickly expanding. For fans of electronic music, there’s even more good news.

Global Gathering , the huge weekend music festival from the U.K., has started to take root here. Last year’s event was a huge success, and this year’s festival looks even better. The event began with the intentions of carrying the same club energy into the outdoors, where clubbers could enjoy their favorite scene for an entire weekend. It has some of the biggest names in electronic music these days, with performers like Prodigy, Royskopp, and Underworld, and even Kanye West has made rare appearances to get the party started.

The tickets are around 80 dollars for a night, or 150 for the weekend pass, which includes camping on the grounds. Since they’ve been doing this since 2001, the organizers have prepared well for the events, which have become something of a global phenomenon. With global in the title, fans should expect nothing less. In South Korea, in particular, this event will prove to be one of the key weekends of the musical calendar, offering a great opportunity to see what’s hot here, and what’s coming for the rest of the world.
