Update 2: The concert is canceled, and “Voice of People” is no more!

Update: In an update the post on the upcoming DPRK ‘Rock Festival,’ the Guardian has a Q&A with the admin of the ‘Voice of Korea’ propaganda site, Jean-Baptiste Kim. A sample: “Your biggest misconception is that you believe North Koreans are all dying under dictatorial state and our leaders are all mad who are war maniacs.” H/T Japundit.

Original Post: In a band or want to go to a concert in Pyongyang? Here’s your chance (H/T Tyler). The restrictions do seem to rule out any actual rock music, however:

If you are a band playing any kind of rock, including heavy metal, then you can participate ‘ROCK FOR PEACE’ in Pyong Yang, the capital city of North Korea. This is the very first time in history that North Korea allows western musicians in the heart of DPRK territory to play capitalist popular music. There are few restrictions and conditions on participation but any band will be considered even though you are from USA. The lyrics should not contain admirations on war, sex, violence, murder, drug, rape, non-governmental society, imperialism, colonialism, racism, anti-DPRK, and anti-socialism. The concert will be held in March 01, 2007 under the management of Voice of Korea. For inquiries, email to Jean-Baptiste Kim, the head of Voice of Korea.

‘Voice of Korea’ is a UK based DPRK propaganda outlet, complete with a long, fake quote from Bush where he refers to, “dirty and smelly Afghanistan and Iraq.” More unintended humor when apparently trying to chastise Americans with the example of some Norwegian tourists:

Hey, Americans, you should learn a lot from our Norwegian friends
who are having really good time with North Korean young school boys.

Uh… go Norway!?
