A new outdoor rock music festival, the Strawberry Music Festival, will open in Beijing over the upcoming the Labor Day holiday weekend. Altogether, 60 international and domestic bands and performers will present live shows on three stages.
The festival lineup will be announced soon.
The city has held the Modern Sky Music Festival every fall since 2007, so the Strawberry in the spring is exactly what music fans have been wanting.
Starting this year, the Modern Sky Music Festival coupled with the Strawberry will be two of the foremost music festivals, besides the established outdoor Midi music festival, currently China’s largest.
Compared with the chaotic Modern Sky, the Strawberry will be fun and fresh, said a source on the festival’s organizing committee.
The festival will run from May 1-3 in the city’s suburban Tongzhou Carnal Park. With its vast water area, the park will be an ideal venue in which to play water games, bask in the warm sun and enjoy the music.
