Orange United

Orange United is a Korean event Orange hosts to give fans an opportunity to meet our artists and enjoy the offensiveness that is British tone.

This year’s event took place on the 2nd July at Platform 61 in Seoul, Korea. Read on to find out more…

Platform 61 is an art and music center in heart of Seoul. Made with 61 pcs of old used containers regenerated into a colourful art, fashion and music venue aimed for anyone who loves loud music and enjoys the creative arts.

This was a highly anticipated event with well known South Korean pop/rock artists such as Crying Nut, Harry Big Button, Sugar Donut, Marmello and Street Guns. We also had special guests: Die From Sorrow – a new ambassador for Orange amps who flew in all the way from China to celebrate Orange United day with us.

Thankfully, the weather wasn’t British, a beautiful day allowed for outdoor photos. Fans could pose in
front of Orange stacks which were displayed all over the venue.

Our backstage demo room was a haven for the artists to rest and try out our gear as well as just hang
out and chat. Events like these are also used for us to hang with our artists and get their opinions on our
products and gear.

Marmello

The talented Marmellow opened the show for us. Over 400 Orange fans were gathered checking out
their favourite bands playing an exclusively Orange backline.
Marmellow are one of the few all female bands in Korea (something we want to help change). Brilliant
music skills and their modern rock tones got the gig off to a great start and set the standard for the
event!

Street Guns

Next onstage was Street Guns! A global winner of 2016 HarkRock Rising, they are a new
ambassador and performed a killer rock and roll set.

Die From Sorrow

Next up was Die From Sorrow from China. Their heavy metal set sound and high energy performance
had the crowd buzzing..

James Kim of N.E.X.T!

During a brief interlude for the crowd to catch their breath, James Kim from N.E.X.T! Was kind enough
to come onstage for us and giveaway some Micro Crush amps, Orange cables, Orange leather belts
and Orange (environmentally friendly) bags to members of the audience.

Sugar Donut

After the short break, Sugar Donut launched into their funk rock set to pull up the atmosphere.

SugarDonut’s lead vocalist ‘Changs’ has been using one of our Orange guitars as his main instrument and
showed how versatile and gnarly it is.

Harry Big Button

Next up was Harry Big Button , one of the most famous hard rock band in Korea. They prefer the Orange
TH100 guitar amps and grabbed the 400 strong crowd’s attention with a blistering set!

Crying Nut

Headlining the show were Korea’s legendary rock band, Crying Nut. The atmosphere was electric as
they took to the stage and energised the already passionate crowd. Everyone was jumping, singing
along and enjoying a very special moment. Crying Nut showed their charismatic stage presence and
brilliant performance skill off to perfection.

Orange United gave fans of tone an unforgettable experience. A rock festival full of passion squeezed
into a full day. Another Orange United will be held in China end of this year and will soon be an annual
event around Asian countries.
