Overview

Marking the 73rd anniversary of the Korean War armistice, the camp expands for the first time into a 3-day, 2-night format with a record 54 teams of musicians. As militarization and the threat of war intensify on the Korean Peninsula, the song of peace that began in Gangjeong Village grows into a stronger and wider solidarity.

Gangjeong Peace Music Camp performance

But the memory of people who prayed, sang, and danced on Gureombi never faded. The story of this village — where peace prayers have been offered every morning for nearly 20 years — is the root of this camp.

Gangjeong Peace Music Camp night festival

Not with military bases, but with music. Not through confrontation, but through solidarity. Gangjeong Peace Music Camp is a festival built on this memory. Because the most beautiful resistance is singing together.

From Palestine to the Korean Peninsula — as long as war does not end, our song will not end either

Let's sing, let's dance, end the war!
