At 6 p.m. today, Silica Gel takes the KSPO DOME stage for the first time

At 6 p.m. tonight, Silica Gel takes the stage at KSPO DOME. It's the first time the band has played this venue.

Today and tomorrow

• Sat, September 26, 6 p.m.
• Sun, September 27, 5 p.m.
• KSPO DOME, Olympic Park, Seoul
• Show title: Silica Gel Asia Tour <Syn.THE.Size: Ballad of You> in Seoul

The dates and venue are exactly as written in the video description the band posted on its official channel two days ago. Tickets were sold through NOL Ticket.

A first full-length in three years, a first Asia tour

There are four of them: Kim Geonjay, Kim Chunchu, Kim Hanjoo and Choi Woonghee. On August 20 they released 'Ballad of You,' their third full-length album and first in about three years, after releasing 'BIG VOID' and 'Molecular Gastronomy' first. These Seoul shows are the starting point of their first Asia tour, which continues to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and more. Reports called it their KSPO DOME debut, 11 years after their debut.

Two spots to remember in 'Manphasickzuck'

The song above is the music video for 'Manphasickzuck,' released along with the third album. Before you head to the venue, just know two spots.

The first 20 seconds spread out evenly with no bass. The loudness barely changes here either: for the first 10 seconds it moves within just 1.52 dB. dB (decibels) is the unit of loudness, and a 1 dB difference is barely noticeable. Then around 20 seconds, the band comes in and the sound gets bigger all at once.

The second is the ending. From 2:40 it sinks for 20 seconds and comes back at 3:00, and the loudest sound of the song arrives right before the end, at 3:56. If you stand there knowing the biggest hit comes right before the end, you won't miss the moment the whole dome rings.

If you're going today

My bag's already packed. The start time differs, 6 p.m. today and 5 p.m. tomorrow, so don't mix up that one-hour difference. Olympic Park gets crowded before and after shows, so it's best to head over early by subway.
