The popular EDM festival, ‘Dunes Night, Dance Night!’, is set to return for its third consecutive year, offering a unique blend of electronic dance music and golf at L.A.B.E.L. Dunes Course. This year’s event promises an exciting lineup and new experiences for attendees, running from July 19th to August 30th.
An Electrifying Summer Series
Scheduled across five dates, the festival will take place every Sunday at 1:30 PM on the L.A.B.E.L. Dunes Course. The unique format combines a shotgun start for golf with live performances from top DJs and artists, creating an energetic atmosphere. Since its inception in 2024, the festival has garnered significant attention as one of the first EDM concerts held at a golf course in South Korea, establishing itself as a novel cultural event.
Participants can enjoy a full round of golf using 5-person carts, which are typically available for the 1,000-plus golfers who access the fairways each year. During play, attendees will be treated to upbeat music, enhancing the golfing experience before culminating in an EDM dance party. The enthusiastic response from previous years has led to a high volume of inquiries for this year’s event, indicating its growing popularity.
Star-Studded Lineup and Special Features
This year’s ‘Dunes Night, Dance Night!’ boasts an impressive roster of artists, with many performing as part of a talent donation initiative. The festival kicks off on July 19th with hip-hop duo Mighty Mouth. The following week, on July 26th, the ‘Trott Special Envoy’ Park Gun is scheduled to perform. The musical journey continues with appearances by Kim Chang-yeol on August 9th, Jung Dong-ha on August 23rd, and R.ef on August 30th, each collaborating with golfers for a memorable experience.
A notable addition this year is a water bomb-themed EDM festival on August 23rd, adding a refreshing twist to the summer celebration. Embracing the catchphrase “Enjoy the heat of a summer day,” the event will also feature an extended 21-hole round (additional three holes beyond the standard 18) for a select number of participants. This special round includes the 18-hole green fee, with an additional charge of 20,000 KRW for caddy fees.
Community Engagement and How to Participate
In a heartwarming gesture, all proceeds from the EDM party admission fees are slated to be donated to residents in the L.A.B.E.L. vicinity by the end of the year. This initiative underscores the festival’s commitment to giving back to the local community.
Joe Tae-hyung, the General Manager of L.A.B.E.L. Golf & Resort, expressed his enthusiasm for the event’s continued success. “The EDM party at L.A.B.E.L. Dunes Course was first launched in 2024 with the aim of making the summer even hotter and more enjoyable,” he stated. “Entering its third year, the response remains incredibly strong.
