Q: Going to a Chinese music festival tomorrow, what to expect?
So I am going to the Strawberry Music Festival here in Changchun tomorrow and I am curious as to what I should expect. I have listened to some of the bands and for the most part do not understand them but it sounds good.

What did you think? I went to the Changjiang Midi Music Festival in Shanghai and wasn't too impressed. The festival grounds were impressive (really large and by the sea, with super-high grass that made you think you were in Mongolian grasslands and not in Shanghai), but I didn't think the sound was great and there was no other entertainment besides the acts on stage. Chinese festivals really lack atmosphere and the concept that festivals are as much about the experience as they are the music. It would have been so much better if they had some alternative entertainment options like a film screening tent, body and soul area, comedy tent etc.

It was okay, nothing like what I am used to like back in America... it could have been better if they worked on the atmosphere more as you said...there were only two stages and it was really cold, plus I think if it was planned better with more energetic bands it would have been better too... the weather man said it would be 20-21 and sunny... it was more like 50 and cloudy anyway... I ended up leaving 4 hours into it because it was too windy and cold... plus I could not even find a beer tent or anyone that sold beer... the bands were good... I liked most of the metal bands and some of the indie bands... but apparently I asked a few people there and no one knew who these bands were ... I even asked my students and they also said they had no clue really...
