Win Tickets to Carriageworks' Huge K-Pop Party
If you only go to one K-pop gig this year...
In partnership with 
The ultimate boy band party welcomes two of Korean pop's finest — Boyfriend and JJCC — live in concert to help celebrate the 2016 Chinese New Year Festival. Gear up for Carriageworks' K-Pop Party.
For those unversed, K-pop hails from South Korea and covers everything from pop to rock, electronic to hip hop and R&B. It isn't all about the music though, as K-pop fuses hypnotic dance moves with elaborate fashion and hairstyles — and considering it walks the line of both alternative and exceedingly sweet, K-pop's transcendence into the mainstream was only a matter of time.
Boyfriend, a six-member band of bashful smiles, has been touted as one of the top K-pop boy bands you should definitely know about. They'll be bringing to the stage a mix of both their Korean and Japanese singles. The other act, JJCC, are the first K-pop idol group formed by actor and martial artist Jackie Chan, and produce a pleasing confusion to the senses with their androgynous beauty and hip hop pop charms.
As well as being transfixed by the hyper-energised choreography and endurably catchy tunes, there's a chance to learn more about the bands from SBS PopAsia's hosts, Jamaica dela Cruz and Andy Trieu, who will be holding on-stage interviews. K-Pop Party is presented by Carriageworks, SBS PopAsia and the City of Sydney and will kick off the 2016 Sydney Chinese New Year Festival.
K-pop is bigger than Bieber, and rightly so – they've got moves as sharp as Mr Chan's, and tighter than the jar of beans we just spilled to let you know that this is one event not to miss.
Carriageworks' K-Pop party is happening on February 5 and 6. Tickets are $70-120 but thanks to Carriageworks, we have two double passes to give away. For your chance to win, just subscribe to the Concrete Playground newsletter and email us at [email protected] with your name and address.
