Upcoming: 2012 Zhangbei Music Festival

It’s been a while hasn’t it since May festival mayhem. Now that it’s all blown over, why not one last music festival for old times sake before the tail end of summer gets underway. The Zhangbei InMusic Festival takes place next weekend from Friday to Sunday. They are hosting an eclectic lineup, and it’s a good excuse to get out of the city for a weekend and take in some of the grasslands of Zhangbei county. It’s a bit far perhaps, but as in the previous years they’re bringing in some big international names to help convince you. I’m still expecting some last minute updates – pretty much the norm here in the big red – but here’s the what the lineup is looking like so far – so damn tempting you are!!!!
