Zandari Festa

Seoul · KR

Zandari Festa is Seoul's showcase festival and industry conference, running since 2012 across the small clubs of Hongdae, and the 2026 edition is booked for 4 to 6 September. Zandari is the old name for the neighbourhood and means little bridge, which is what the festival tries to be: around 100 acts a year split between Korean bands and international guests, with national showcases put together alongside foreign embassies. Recent line-ups have paired Leenalchi, JAMBINAI, IDIOTAPE, Broccoli you too?, Galaxy Express, RUMKICKS and Hollow Jan with H 3 F and VIOLETTE WAUTIER from Thailand, GDJYB from Hong Kong, BB BOMB and HUSH from Taiwan, Ardhito Pramono from Indonesia, MINH from Vietnam, NIKO NIKO TAN TAN from Japan and acts from France, Spain, Germany, Colombia and New Zealand. Overseas artists apply in the spring window and are told by email if selected, while daytime delegate sessions bring in festival bookers and label staff. General contact is a named address and the running order, venue map and tickets sit on zandarifesta.com.
