Last year, the bands Jannabi and Annyeongbada performed on a large outdoor stage for the first time as Korean indie bands. This year, Korean indie first-generation band Crying Nut and Korean surf rock band representative Seisumi will participate. It will be held at 7:30 p.m. local time on July 19 at the outdoor concert hall of the Lincoln Center Damrosh Park.

In early April, Crying Nut performed in four cities, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, and Tokyo, Japan, for the first time in three years. For a long time, he has been engaged in overseas activities such as the United States and Europe as well as Japan.

He has participated in large overseas festivals such as the SXSW in the U.S., the Trastock Festival in Sweden, the Mosaic Festival in Singapore, and the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, as well as performances held in London, Germany, and Australia.

Crying Nut will also be on the stage of "K Indie Music Night" of "Korean Arts Week" hosted by Lincoln Center. Hosted by the Lincoln Center, "Korean Arts Week" is one of the representative programs of the Lincoln Center's summer festival Summer for the City, which will be held throughout the Lincoln Center campus from September 19 to 23.

Crying Nut said, "As a Korean indie band, it is meaningful to be able to participate in a special event to convey Korean culture," adding, "I am happy to be able to perform at the invitation of the Korean Cultural Center in New York." "I want to contribute to promoting various cultures and music of Korea throughout New York, the United States, and even the world," he said.

Crying Nut is set to release a new song in early June ahead of the U.S. concert and will also hold a nationwide tour concert in Korea.
