Zebra Attacks Chengdu

The Zebra Music Festival. A 3 day rock my socks event that I never imagined could happen in Chengdu. Given, its no Woodstock, but holy crap was it good to see something of this magnitude in a land where bureaucracy abounds. Alright, lets get to the meat of it:

The Zebra Music Festival (ZMF) was a 3 day extravaganza that was organized by Zebras and Chengdu (Zebra Media and the Chengdu Media Group) alongside many other associations. The official English web page can be found by visiting: http://www.myzmf.com/en/index.html

I really want to get into the nitty gritty of the festival, but my words just wont do it justice. Instead, I’ll just list some of the highlights (including favorite artists):

**3 Stages: Main Stage, DJ Stage, and the Chengdu Stage (which consisted of local artists [I wish warp tour did a local artists stage])

**Tons of food to try at different locals around the event

**Favorite Artists:
- Brain Failure
- Shin
- Essay
- Omnipotent Youth Society
- New Cools
- Hedgehog
- Ashura
- Subs
- High Tone
- Proximity Butterfly
- The Trouble

You can probably google any of those names with a “band, China” add and get their sites (or something of that nature)

Anyway, as I probably should have done from the beginning, Ill let my photos do the talking. Nevertheless, it was an awesome event, and I hope to be at the next one.
