Fête de la Musique Announces Full Line-Up, June 21

Fête de la Musique, the one-day musicfestgasm, has just announced it's full line-up and stage times (also below) for its short-lived life this Saturday, June 21. Incorporating 30 venues and over 45 bands, this year is set to have something for everyone.

Now in it's third year in the capital, Beijing Music Day is an off-shoot of the original event which started in France in 1982 as a celebration of music and community and general feel-good vibes, aptly landing on the first day of summer.

The organizers, made up by volunteers, state that they wish to promote free access to music for everyone so as to instigate cultural exchange and discovery of new music throughout China (the event is now in its fifth year in Shanghai).

2 Kolegas so far looks to be ground zero for the event, with eight bands playing outside throughout the day. Pray for good weather on Saturday, folks!
