Gugak and pop on the same stage
Both days follow the same structure: local and professional gugak ensembles open the show, including Chungju's own 충주청소년우륵국악단 (Chungju Youth Wooreuk Gugak Orchestra) and 우륵가야금연주단 (Wooreuk Gayageum Ensemble), plus traditional performing groups 사물놀이 몰개 (Samulnori Molgae), 앙상블 노엘 (Ensemble Noel) and 앙상블시나위 (Ensemble Sinawi); the pop and indie lineup follows in the second half.
On the pop side, Day 1 closes with BOL4 and Kim Jang-hoon, while Day 2 closes with Sandara Park and Kim Kwang-jin. On the crossover side, Song So-hee, who started in folk music, and Chudahye Chagis, who blend shamanic music with funk, both perform. Organizers are positioning the event as a "가을축제" (autumn festival) and picnic-style music festival; Tangeum Park sits along the Namhan River and has long served as Chungju's outdoor concert venue.
