[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] As Korean bands increasingly expand their reach overseas, Antenna’s band Dragon Pony connected with Taiwanese music fans and demonstrated their potential for growth on the global stage. By showcasing the live performance skills they’ve honed domestically at overseas festivals, they are broadening the scope of K-band activities.

According to their agency, Antenna, Dragon Pony took the stage at the “2026 Kaohsiung Park Music Festival” held at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center on the 9th. This performance held special significance as it marked an expansion of their reach beyond domestic stages to connect with music fans across Asia.
That day, Dragon Pony opened the show with an unreleased track, immediately capturing the attention of the local audience. They then performed songs such as “Waste,” “Earth Boy,” “Deneb,” and “On Air,” showcasing a wide range of musical styles, from intense rock sounds to lyrical melodies.
In the latter half of the concert, they ramped up the energy by performing “Morse Code,” “The Snake That Eats Its Own Tail,” “Oh, I Can Do Whatever I Want!,” “Not Out,” and “POP UP” in quick succession. Their dynamic stage performance, blending instrumental playing and vocals, drew an enthusiastic response from the local audience.
What caught the eye was the special setlist prepared for local music fans. Dragon Pony reinterpreted “Farewell,” a signature song by the Taiwanese band Bestards, in their own unique style. They performed the song—which they had previously released through their cover series “Dragon Pony Covers”—live on stage, seeking to connect with the Taiwanese audience.
This is noteworthy not only because it went beyond simply introducing Korean music overseas but also because the band actively embraced local music while connecting with fans. By using music to bridge the gap with audiences of different languages and cultures and by demonstrating an interest in local bands, this performance offers a glimpse into the direction of Dragon Pony’s overseas activities.
Along with the recent global spread of K-pop, interest in Korean band music is also on the rise. Festivals, in particular—where live performances and audience response are crucial—serve as stages where bands can directly showcase their musical prowess. Building on their domestic and international performance experience, Dragon Pony is also expanding its reach among overseas music fans and solidifying its foundation for growth.
Dragonpony will hold a year-end solo concert on December 5–6 at the Blue Square Woori WON Banking Hall in Seoul. It will be interesting to see how they translate the experience gained at overseas festivals into their domestic solo performance.
