Midi Modern Music Festival

A performance at the 2007 Midi Music Festival

Midi Modern Music Festival (Chinese: 迷笛音乐节; pinyin: Mídí Yīnyuè Jié) is China's largest rock music festival. 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 is hosted by the Beijing Midi School of Music.

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.
