Upcoming: Fête de la Musique

Damn I’ll sure be missing some quality entertainment while I’m in Hong Kong – this looks to be quite the one-off event full of a wide array of awesome bands in our ever so awesome Gulou District.

The “Fête de la Musique”, celebrated each year on June 21st in more than a hundred countries worldwide, makes its debut in Beijing in 2012!

On June 21st, the district of Gulou will be taken over by the sound of live music. Come along to experience this momentous event and get the chance to listen to rock’n’roll, dub step, reggae, blues, jazz, electro and many more.

Here’s the lineup so far and even a sweet ass map (click on it for a bigger version)…
