5 Music Festival Blogs You Need to Read
Festival season is gonna go crash! boom! with a rockin’ landing in Beijing this weekend. Midi and Strawberry will be kicking off the fun over the holiday, but don’t let those two music scene staples wear you out – David Guetta’s upcoming performance at the Great Wall Music Festival has been eating up all the buzz. There are also the electronic bleeps and bops of Intro and the warm acoustic sounds of the Dongpai Folk Fest to look forward to.
There’s a lot being written about these events already so we thought we’d take a peak around and see what’s worth reading.
Smart Beijing
For starters, Josh Feola and Morgan Short over at Smart Beijing have done a fine job prepping festival-goers with a rundown of what the rock and electronic scenes are putting on. These are really detailed breakdowns which include all the essential tidbits, transportation, Google maps, lineups and schedules, after parties…you name it, they've got it.
BeijingDaze
Daze does his thing here with a more personalized take on the festivals (the ones he likes of course). There’s some great insight into what’s going on in the rock and folk scenes and it's easily digestible.
Time Out
Liz Tung, music editor, brainstormed this awesome “battle” between Strawberry and Midi. The types of bands are properly categorized, giving readers a nice sense of the different musical experiences the two rock fests will be offering.
Beijing Gig Guide
Even though you have to scroll through dates to find what you’re looking for on this site, I like these posts for the pure ease and simplicity of the presentation. No frills or fancy writing. You get the who, what, where, when in a few seconds. Perfect for a last minute check before diving into that crowd.
