Nami Island music festival brings 10 teams on 24 October
The festival runs on Saturday, 24 October 2026, at the island's outdoor performance venue. The published programme gives the performance period as 1pm to 4pm and lists 10 participating teams across four genres.
Eumjinin Cooperative and Nami Island Education and Culture Group are named as the organisers. The programme includes the rock acts Soltied, Unamaseu, ODS and Mumo-han Saram, the pop teams Geomjeonggomusin and Project 51, the indie act Mollo, and the jazz groups Snow White and Romance Dawn. Festival details and programme also name singer Eom Ji-ae as the event host.
The outdoor stage connects the festival with Nami Island's cultural setting
The venue sits within a destination that combines wooded paths, galleries, museums and performance spaces. The Korea Tourism Organization lists the Song Museum, Picture Book Playground and MICE Center among the island's facilities, alongside concerts, exhibitions and other cultural events.
The island belongs administratively to Chuncheon in Gangwon Province, although its main landing point is at Gapyeong in neighbouring Gyeonggi Province. It formed in 1944 when the completion of Cheongpyeong Dam raised the Bukhan River around the land. That history explains why the 24 October festival takes place on an island reached by water rather than at a conventional road venue. Official location and facilities identify the site as 1 Namiseom-gil, Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do.
Autumn programming places live music among the island's tree-lined routes
The festival arrives during the island's autumn programme, when its cultural spaces and outdoor routes are used for public events. Its format gives visitors a specific date and venue for live music rather than relying only on the seasonal landscape.
The organisers describe the programme as a meeting point for musicians and audiences. Its four genres also give the event a clear link to the island's established role as a setting for concerts, exhibitions and international cultural programmes.
