The Seoul Drum Festival is set to return to the capital this year in an effort to hark back to life before the coronavirus pandemic.

The two-day festival will kick off on May 28 at the Jangchung Arena under the theme "RETURN," according to Seoul Metropolitan Government.

One of the main draws is the international drum competition, with the final round and awards ceremony to be held Friday, ahead of the main performances on Saturday.

Organizers said the event, now in its 23rd year, will also feature its own online VR space, allowing people to virtually enjoy photo zones with global and Korean artists and much more.
