With MIDI and Strawberry high tailing it down south, it’s a pretty sparse holiday week festival wise. Granted, it ain’t exactly the warmest outside, and plenty of you folks are probably exhausted from festival season already, but it would have been nice to have the option at the very least. The lone soldier these next three days (Oct. 1^st-3^rd) is the Kirin Canal International Music Festival located in Strawberry’s usual digs – the Tangzhou Canal Park. The lineup isn’t exactly stellar and leans heavily toward pop stars and mainstream sensations, but as always with these big festivals (five stages at this one) there’s enough to warrant a day in the park – my money is on day one which brings out local favorites WHAI, Gangzi, Shanren, Miserable Faith, and Cui Jian. Tickets are 150 a day, or 300 for a three-day pass. Check out the full schedule below.
