Swag Age in Concert

A musical storm is about to hit the West End, unlike anything audiences have seen before. The explosive, award-winning Korean phenomenon Swag Age in Concert is making its UK debut in London for one night only at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, Monday 8th September 2025, blending history, hip-hop and rebellion into a thunderous anthem of freedom. 

Step into an imagined Joseon Dynasty, Korea’s last dynasty before the Japanese occupation, where the poetry of Sijo, a traditional Korean verse form similar to a sonnet once embraced, has been banned. The once-celebrated Sijo performers have been silenced, stripped of freedom and hope. In this world of silenced voices and crushed dreams, a masked rebel group known as the Golbin Gang dares to defy the regime. Disguised and determined, they take the stage, channelling their voices to challenge the corrupt. But danger looms and will Hong Guk, the king’s shadow official and Head of Sijo, snuff out their spark before it ignites a revolution?

This isn’t just a musical. It’s a movement. The chants of “Oh-Eh-Oh! Oh-Eh-Oh!” ring out like a battle cry as ordinary people rise up, demanding a new tomorrow. With every beat, every lyric, every step, Swag Age rips through oppression and lights a fire of resistance in this living rebellion for a freer, more equitable world.

With a staggering list of accolades, including Best Picture, Best Choreography, Best Ensemble, and multiple acting awards from Korea’s top musical theatre institutions, Swag Age unites us all with a soundtrack to freedom and choreography of hope. Swag Age brings a breathtaking fusion of sound and movement. Traditional Korean instruments crash headlong into booming hip-hop beats, with a band building a soundscape that is both fiercely ancestral and boldly contemporary. The choreography mixes Korean folk dance to breakdance, from tightly choreographed routines to explosive urban movement, pulsing with energy and raw emotion.

This West End concert staging marks the musical’s long-anticipated international debut. After years of sold-out performances across Korea and a fervent fanbase that spans generations, the show arrives in the UK ready to shout louder than ever.
