Synopsis

Dabda is a Seoul-based math rock-inspired quartet comprising Kim Jiae (vocals/guitar), Lee Seunghyeon (drums), Park Jungwoong (guitar) and Noh Keohyeon (bass). Formed in 2014, the band has built a sound they describe as “Pastel Psychedelic”, pairing poetic, dream-like lyricism with math rock’s trademark intricate, shifting time signatures.

Since their 2016 debut EP Island of Each, the band have released the acclaimed full-length But, All the Shining Things Are (2020) and EP Yonder (2023) and collaborated with Japanese post-rock icons toe on the single Jungle Gym (2021).

Information will be provided on where and when you can get your refund. For postponed performances for which the date of the new performance is known, refunds are optional.

For free programmes, any cancellations or postponements will be updated on the event website and/or relevant official communication channels. As no tickets are issued, refunds do not apply.

For indoor performances, photography and video recording are generally not allowed during the show unless stated otherwise by the promoters or artists.

For performances at public spaces, such as those at the Concourse and DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre, photography and casual video recording are generally allowed for personal use. Please be mindful not to use flash, obstruct others, or disrupt the performance. Some programmes may still restrict recording based on artist requirements, so please follow on-site announcements or staff instructions.
