About the Seoul map

Seoul tonight, on one map. Concerts, club nights and festivals on both sides of the Han River, poster by poster. Open a poster for the lineup, the start time (Seoul time, on the 24-hour clock) when the listing gives one, and a link to tickets. Tonight opens first; the next six nights are a tap away.

How the Seoul map works

  • Posters sit where the show is; a room with several shows in one night stacks them, so page through.
  • Narrow the night to festivals, or by genre (Pop, Hip-hop & R&B, Electronic, Rock & Indie and more) when enough of its shows are tagged.
  • Search the night’s list by artist, title or venue.
  • A show whose venue we haven’t mapped yet keeps its place in the list, flagged as not on the map.
  • Directions opens the venue in Google Maps; in Korea, Naver Map or KakaoMap usually give better walking and transit routes.
  • Saving shows to your Queue and ranking them afterwards happen in the enc0re app for iPhone.

Where Seoul goes out

North of the river, Hongdae, around Hongik University and spilling into Sangsu, Hapjeong and Yeonnam-dong, is the home of indie bands, live clubs, street performers and club nights. Itaewon, below Namsan, mixes club nights with an international crowd, and Euljiro’s old print-shop alleys have filled with small bars. South of the river, Gangnam and Cheongdam carry the big, polished clubs, Seongsu’s old factories have turned into bars and pop-up spaces, and the arena and stadium concerts are mostly out east, around Jamsil.

Getting around at night

  • The subway stops around midnight. After that, night buses cover the main routes and taxis are easy to find, though harder to hail when the clubs let out.
  • A T-money card pays for the subway, buses and most taxis.
  • Clubs check ID at the door, so bring yours.

Questions

Is the map free?

Yes. Tonight and the next six nights are open in your browser, without an account.

What’s on it?

Concerts, from arena pop to small indie rooms, plus DJ and club nights and festivals with live music. It isn’t a complete record of the city.

How current is it?

Listings refresh through the day; on tonight’s list, shows that are already underway are marked as started.

Does it use my location?

Only with your permission, whether you tap “Use my location” now or allowed this site to see your location before. The nearest city is then found inside your browser, and your coordinates never leave it. Otherwise the map opens on the last city you looked at, or a rough guess from your connection.
