"In that regard, Korean boy band BigBang's set provided some of the best hip-hop of the weekend, which may sound blasphemous given that Nas and A Tribe Called Quest were also in the house. BigBang were another late addition, and to anyone who dismisses boy bands as a matter of course they were a revelation. Light years more accomplished than any counterpart in Japan, where K-pop acts are seen as a serious industry threat, BigBang do everything in fluent English and Japanese, so the audience had no trouble relating."

"However, Korean boy band BigBang was definitely one of the high points of the festival."
