just in front of our appartement is the century park. This weekend the biggest Rockfestival in Shanghai took place.
i found the information on the official website: http://www.midimidi.cn/html/midimusic/news/2012-03-15/1331787416604439.html
and the good thing about it – the entrance fee was 160 RMB -> 12,- for two days.
nothing in English – of course! the queue at 12.30 was already very long. it is funny how we queue for 5 minutes to purchase the ticket, but it took as around one hour to get in with the ticket. i have no idea why this took so long – and they even didn’t take my bottle of water, although it was forbidden. The festival reminds me on a normal OpenAir from Switzerland, however the people were very interesting. The Chinese tried to dress up as bad-ass-asian, or they just made themselves look ridiculous with some masks. There were also a bunch of little food stalls and few people selling (fake)-cd’s or vinyls. Most of the bands were really punk-rock and hardcore, a little bit too much for my taste (at the age of 16 i would have liked it) there was also a japanese/chinese band which I do liked. I couldn’t even read their band name, so I cannot share this with you 😀 there were also some bands from norway and sweden, who showed proudly the tattoos on their bodies… i think the chinese people were rather scared than they could enjoyed it. also the bands were expecting a little more excitement.
