Emotional Damage Fest 2026 — Seoul, South Korea

Emotional Damage Fest 2026 brought together different corners of Korea’s alternative music community for one night in Seoul.

Emo kids, hardcore kids, alternative music fans, longtime listeners and people discovering the scene for the first time all came together around the same stage. More than just a lineup of bands, the festival was about creating a place where the different sounds, generations and communities around Korea’s alternative scene could meet.

From emo and punk, post-hardcore and alternative rock, Emotional Damage Fest celebrated the music and the people who continue to keep the scene alive.

Organized by Emo Is For Lovers, Emotional Damage Fest is part of our ongoing effort to support independent music, artists and live culture in Korea.
