This year’s WCD in Incheon was the first time the event was held in Asia, with an impressive line up of some 150 South Korean and international DJs.

Since 2013, when the music festival first began in Germany, the WCD has been held around the world, with the slogan of ‘the world’s biggest club’, transforming venues into giant clubs for music fans.

While there were originally concerns about noise, complaints dropped drastically as the event went on, thanks to noise barriers that the local government built, with the number of complaints going from 300 on the first day to 55 on the last day of the event.
