Tiger JK, Yoon Mirae, BTOB and more to perform at Music Matters Live 2012!

As reported earlier via our Twitter, there is an upcoming music festival not-to-be-missed – Music Matters Live 2012!

Music Matters Live 2012
Dates: 24th to 26th May
Venue: In and around Clarke Quay

What’s up for this year’s lineup?

Last year Korean acts such as Korea’s iconic rock band Crying Nut and Korean-American project group AZIATIX (read our exclusive interview with them here) performed at the festival, but this year it is just going to get better.

This year’s lineup includes Cube Entertainment‘s hottest new boy group BTOB (Born To Beat), who made their debut just about a month ago with the song “Insane”, and is already making waves in the entertainment scene. Singapore fans will be happy to know that ahead of everyone else around the world, this will be BTOB’s first ever overseas performance!

Also, a few of Korea’s biggest hip-hop names – Tiger JK and Yoon Mirae will also be performing in Singapore for the first time, together with M.I.B, DJ Clazzi and J-Kyun. It sure sounds like a great show!

Performance Schedule

Korean Night will be held on the 24th of May, at the Fountain Square, featuring all the Korean artists.
