Over the Golden Week holiday I went to the Modern Sky Festival in Haidian Park 海淀公园 which is located in the NW next to the Summer Palace. It is a 3-day music festival 30Sep - 2Oct, I only attended the 2nd day. Admission was RMB 60.
This was the 2nd year for Modern Sky and because of the visa restrictions of foreigners, international acts were missing from the lineup this year. So it was all local bands and that was want I wanted to see!
Many rockers packing the main stage area. There were 2 smaller stages indoors - one for rock and one for techno. But the main stage was were the action was at. The highlight of the day was Hedgehog a sort of punk / techno group and AV Okubo which reminded me of Limp Bizkit.
Red-capped head bangers. There was a small mosh pit going on in the middle and other than that the crowd was pretty tame.
Umbrella sculpture reminding the crowd to bring umbrellas in case it rains. Luckily it didn't when i was there.
Food: the usual Beijing snacks - skewers, kababs, sausages
Drinks: BEER
