Kim Chang Wan Band, The Vane and Peach Truck Hijackers to perform
CKL Stage introduces standing-only format and four-sided stage

According to SayArt on August 6, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) will launch the first performance of "2026 WITH STAGE AND Season 6" on September 4 at CKL Stage in Jung-gu, Seoul.

WITH STAGE AND is CKL Stage's signature concert series designed to discover outstanding popular music creators and present curated live performances. Since its debut in 2019, the program has featured artists across different regions, genres, and generations.

The opening performance of this year's season will focus on the theme of K-Rock, highlighting different eras of Korean rock music. The lineup includes Kim Chang Wan Band, The Vane, and Peach Truck Hijackers.

Kim Chang Wan Band represents one of Korea's long-running rock acts, while The Vane performs with a modern band-oriented sound. Peach Truck Hijackers has drawn attention for music influenced by garage rock and post-punk.

For the first time in the history of the CKL Stage concert series, the venue will operate as a standing-only event. A four-sided stage surrounded by the audience on all sides will also be introduced, allowing attendees to watch the performances from multiple viewing angles.

KOCCA said additional curated performances covering various music genres are scheduled through the second concert in November. Koo Kyung-bon, Director of KOCCA's Content Infrastructure Division, said the organization plans to continue presenting a range of popular music performances throughout the season.
