View original imageThis event is designed as a stay-type lifestyle festival that goes beyond a simple music performance, combining camping, wellness, art, and community programs. It is characterized by offering music, relaxation, and experiences in nature simultaneously, with the forest, riverside, and all outdoor spaces serving as the stage. THE AIR HOUSE has consistently attracted attention for its emotionally engaging program composition among music and lifestyle enthusiasts both in Korea and abroad. This year, it will be held in an expanded format, utilizing the natural environment throughout Nami Island.
Nami Island has continuously operated eco-friendly tourism and cultural content, with 'coexistence of people and nature' as its core value. As a leading cultural tourism destination, it has minimized vehicle access and established an ecology-centered tourism environment. The unique spatial feature of being an island accessible only by boat enhances the immersive experience away from urban noise and daily routine, aligning closely with the festival's core concept of a 'Disconnect Trip.'
During the festival, camping zones and wellness programs will be available, allowing visitors to simultaneously enjoy performances, relaxation, and community in nature. In particular, this festival is structured to offer different emotions and genres in each space. The main stage, 'Lawn,' will feature house music performances, while the 'Hanok' and 'Forest' stages will present techno sounds, showcasing THE AIR HOUSE's identity.
Additionally, the 'Wind' stage will host live band performances, and the 'Mind' area will be dedicated to yoga, meditation, and chill programs, offering relaxation-focused content. The 'Yard' will serve as a space for community gatherings and sub-programs.
The lineup includes Korean artists such as Jang Kiha, Kim Sawol, Kim Oki: Exorcist King, DJ Soulscape, Mogwaa, and JisokuryClub, as well as international artists like Sebastien Leger, Nicolas Lutz, Shonky, and Marco Shuttle, further enhancing the festival's global appeal.
In addition to performances, wellness programs rarely seen at typical music festivals will also be offered, such as forest meditation, sound healing, handpan morning flow, vinyasa yoga, gong meditation, and Korea Food Hand Ritual. The integration of music, relaxation, and sensory experiences against the backdrop of Nami Island's forests, riverside, and hanok spaces distinguishes this content from conventional urban festivals.
A Nami Island representative stated, "THE AIR HOUSE is content that harmonizes well with the values of nature, culture, art, and relaxation that Nami Island has been pursuing," adding, "We expect the unique emotion and philosophy of Nami Island, when combined with a global lifestyle festival, will provide a special cultural experience."
