KOREAN MUSIC FESTIVAL 10 – APRIL 28th 2012 – Hollywood Bowl
Founded in 2003, the KMF is one of the largest annual concerts in Southern California. Selling out to a full house of 18,000 each year, the Festival surpasses all expectations and records as it takes root as a Korean American tradition.
The Korean Music Festival is held at the world-famous Hollywood Bowl and attracts people not only from Southern California, but also from the rest of the country and the world.
The KMF puts its patrons at the center of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) that is sweeping across the world. Globally renowned artists such as BoA and Rain have graced the stages of the KMF, elevating it to an event for both Koreans and non-Koreans.
The festival started in 2003 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Korean immigration to the United States and has since grown into one of the most anticipated annual events in the Asian American community. The concert is a four-hour event featuring more than a dozen top-tier Korea artists ranging from the most popular idol groups to famous ‘trot’ singers of years past and concludes with the legendary Hollywood Bowl fireworks finale.
