Dragon Pony Ignites Busan International Rock Festival for Second Consecutive Year

Dragon Pony set the stage ablaze at the 'Busan International Rock Festival' for the second year in a row.

The band, consisting of members Ahn Tae-kyu, Pyeon Seong-hyeon, Kwon Se-hyeok, and Ko Kang-hoon, performed at the '2025 Busan International Rock Festival' held at Samnak Ecological Park in Busan on the 28th.

The 'Busan International Rock Festival' is the longest-running rock festival in South Korea, featuring a lineup of both domestic and international artists. Dragon Pony, who made a remarkable debut by opening the main stage just 10 days after their debut last year, was invited again this year, showcasing their impressive growth in the band scene.

Dragon Pony kicked off their performance with a powerful opening of 'Ouroboros,' a track known for its explosive band sound. Continuing their momentum, they elevated the energy with 'Waste' and 'Altruism (To. Nosy Boy),' both rooted in traditional rock sound, driving the crowd into a frenzy.

The band captivated the audience with the emotional resonance of youth through songs like 'Earth Boy' and 'Morse Code.' For their final performance, Dragon Pony chose 'Not Out' and 'POP UP,' transforming the fervent cries of incomplete youth into an unrestrained band performance, earning enthusiastic cheers and applause.

This year, Dragon Pony has dominated major domestic festivals, including the '2025 Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival,' '2025 Ulsan Summer Festival,' 'JUMF 2025 Jeonju Ultimate Music Festival,' '2025 Let's Rock Festival,' and the '2025 Busan International Rock Festival.'

Meanwhile, Dragon Pony is set to participate in a live concert event, 'youTopia vol.2 "Dragon Pony X KAMI WA SAIKORO WO FURANAI" - SEOUL,' on November 22-23 at the MyungHwa Live Hall in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. They will collaborate with the Japanese band Kami wa Saikoro wo Furanai for a special performance.
