Festivals ready to explode

In the eyes of Zhang Fan, Shen Lihui and Song Ke, the three men behind China's major outdoor music festivals, the nation is finally getting a range of opportunities to enjoy live music.

Nearly every weekend, starting this month, music lovers in China, especially those living in second- and third-tier cities, can visit outdoor music festivals with acts from home and abroad.

On June 21, Evergrande Starlight Carnival Music Festival kicked off in Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province. In its second year, the music festival is organized by Evergrande Music, a Beijing-based company. It will tour 50 cities, doubling the number since its debut in 2013.
