Looking to cool off this summer? The Next Wave Beach Festival is returning to Discovery Bay's Tai Pak Beach on July 5 and 6.
K-pop girl group Itzy and rising Korean talent Chung Ha lead the roster, while local singer Joey Hung Ka-ho is expected to deliver a set of crowd-pleasers. Attendees can get up close to the main stage or lounge about on a floating jetty in the sea to soak it all in.
