K-Pop, J-Rock and Asian Music

Not sure if I have missed an existing topic, but another one to mull geographically here.

 

Had a blast at Seventeen this year, which has helped to broaden the general horizons further - so who else from the Asian music scene could play at Glastonbury? Who else has played before? And do we have any general recommendations to share?

Pussy Parlure used to be my go to spot for some good international acts from Taiwan, Korea, Japan etc. Unfortunately it is no longer about so that doesn't really help!

Malaysian rock band Sound Of Baceprot opened the woodies this year, they were pretty good.

Difficult to imagine any of the managers of the larger acts are keen to have their charges experience what Seventeen did and run out to a largely empty field.

Rina Sawayama’s played, might be a good shout for next year. 
 

I’d welcome some more such artists, usually a good visual show and something different to explore, like Otoboke Beaver and Sound of Baceprot were this year, really glad I saw them both.

Saw he had a good-to-mixed write-up the other week in the Guardian. What's good?

A little uncertain myself.  I work with quite a few Punjabi folk and they're also a bit non-plussed at how the guy is suddenly packing arenas.  Kind of thing I'd be up for seeing but dunno if I want to lay out a fat stack on a ticket for it.
