Take a ride

Samrock Theme Park: pirate ship and spinning disk, 11:00–20:40, 5,000 KRW per ride. Pirate ship ages 10+. Rides pause during Hidden Stage performances.

Keep the night going

Bu-long Night, October 2–4, 23:00–02:00 next day at KT&G Sangsang Madang Busan and CATs Sasang Indie Station. General admission 15,000 KRW, festival visitors 10,000 KRW. Ages 19+, valid photo ID required.

Our tip: plan around one must-see set

Choose your must-see sets, check the stage locations, then fit a mini-game into a genuine gap. Avoid using the entire break for an activity when your next performance is across the venue; see our walking and wet-weather tips. Ride operations pause during Hidden Stage performances, so an advertised opening time does not mean continuous availability. A 5,000 KRW ride plus the 10,000 KRW festival-visitor after-party ticket is 15,000 KRW before food and transport.

After-parties are separate, door-ticketed events. Pick your venue before leaving Samnak, keep your wristband and photo ID ready, and budget for a late-night ride home. A 02:00 finish is too late for the listed festival subway departures; door admission is first-come, first-served.
