A few weeks back, we talked a little about the Gehua-Livenation tie up with the Beijing suburb of Pinggu to put on a music festival to compete with existing May holiday festivals MIDI and Strawberry.
Well, they seem to be spending a little bit of money in order to try and get people down to Pinggu rather than heading to the more usual Tongzhou Canal or Haidian Parks. According to Last FM, the following artists are going to feature:
- Avril Lavigne
- KT Tunstall
- Hot Hot Heat
- Editors
- Ladytron
- Negative
- Little Boots
- Juliette Lewis
The lineup is probably on a level with last years Music Funhill and Pilot Records Festivals, neither of which managed to steal critical mass from Modern Sky’s incumbent. It will be interesting to see if Pinggu fares better.
What do you think? Would you go to Pinggu to see these acts?
