Top K-pop stars Psy and IU will perform at South Korea's biggest mud festival in Boreyong, a southwestern seaside town, which has attracted millions of people every year, organizers said.

Psy, who came back to the music scene a month ago with double title tracks, "I LUV IT" and "NEW FACE", will make his second visit to the world famous mud festival on July 25. He turned the festival ground into a cheery dance party of about 50,000 people last year.
