Modern Sky is definitely one of the pioneers in bringing large-scale music festivals to China and were planning something big this year. However, thanks to the sensitive nature of the sixtieth anniversary of the People’s Republic of China, all foreign acts were canceled last minute. This is going to be a huge blow to Modern Sky’s ticket sales and confidence in importing foreign acts in the future. It is also a bit of a scare tactic employed by the local government who like to let people know who is in charge every once in awhile. Nonetheless, the festival continued with its domestic lineup and rocked out Chaoyang Park to great acclaim. Maybe next year.
