Are the music festivals back? We hope! Welcome back Strawberry

I’ve maintained that there was nothing good to write about so i stopped writing for a while, a long while. Now, this morning, for the first time in a long time, i got something of good news:
The Music Festivals are coming back to Beijing.. kind of!

Modern Sky’s official weibo sent in the new today and it made me jump up and down like a giggly little teenager. They set dates for their festival and a location that is not in tongzhou.

We’re talking the jing-jing-ji are where basically halfway between beijing and tianjin, 50km away.
Looks like there will be camping and by golly, there might be boozing since we will be way from the constraints of “downtown”.

now, let’s wait on midi! here is the official wechat message!

2016北京草莓音乐节
时间:2016年4月30日-5月02日
地点:中信国安第一城

万千乐迷翘首期盼的北京草莓音乐节正式回归!再度回归的2016北京草莓将全面升级,继续打造“超级草莓星球”的概念,旨在将北京草莓打造成为中国年轻人心目当中最酷,最值得骄傲,最好玩儿的音乐狂欢节日。

选址面积更大 接轨国际标准

北京草莓音乐节举办地将移师京津冀交界黄金地段——中信国安第一城,距离北京CBD核心区约50公里,交通便利并提供酒店、餐饮、娱乐等一体化服务。全新的场地占地面积达450,000㎡,较之往届扩大数倍。

of course, anything can be cancelled but i’m guessing that the folks at Modern Sky are already pretty sure this is taking place. Let’s just see how fast they can book international names.
