The Midi Music Festival, sometimes also called Midi Modern Music Festival or simply Midi Festival () is among China's largest rock music festivals and is hosted by the Beijing Midi School of Music. Since its inauguration in 1997 it has been held each year in Beijing during the May holiday (May 1–3), with some breaks in 2003, 2004 and 2008 (all times held in October). The 2008 festival was delayed to October for reasons related to the 2008 Summer Olympics. The festival currently is held annually in three Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Rock Gathering at Changjiang Midi Festival )〕 The 2006 festival, held in Beijing's Haidian Park, hosted 40-80 thousand visitors, and featured performances by more than 50 bands (including 18 foreign bands, such as Alev, Monokino, Yokohama Music Association, The Wombats, and The Mayflies) performing on four stages (Main Stage, Guitarchina Stage, Mini Midi Stage, and Disco Stage). The artists represented the genres of rock, electro, and DJ. The 2007 festival included UK acts the Crimea, Kava Kava (band), Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, and Soundtrack Of Our Lives. The festival regularly features environmental themes as their slogan, such as raising awareness for animals threatened with extinction〔See poster for (2011 festival ).〕 and PM2.5 for their 2012 festivals.〔See explanation on (Midi 2012 festival page )〕 Since 2008, Rock in China is providing the English language website for the Midi Modern Music Festival.〔As mentioned on the ''About Us'' section of Rock in China, (link ), accessed 2013-04-14〕 The 2012 festival featured Australian band Arcane Saints. ==See also== *Beijing Pop Festival *Modern Sky Festival *Chinese rock *Beijing Jazz Festival 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Midi Music Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
