2008 delayed, because of the national games. This year relocated because of 60 years PRC. Can't they relax a little bit?! The festival at Midi school last Octobre was really great - only the cool kids there and lot of good music. No signs of counter revolution or human rights activities after all. And this year? One month to go and still no offical online information. That is more PUNK than any well organized mega-music-festival could be!
