The Beijing Pop Festival (Chinese: 北京流行音乐节; pinyin: Běijīng Liúxíng Yīnyuè Jié) was a rock music festival held in Beijing, China's Chaoyang Park each September since 2005.[1] It featured rock bands from China as well as from overseas. It was a pioneer music event in China since it was the first international music festival with a permit from the Ministry of Culture of China.
It was founded by Jason Magnus, a Harvard graduate who is based in Hong Kong.[2]
The 2006 festival featured Sebastian Bach, Placebo, Supergrass and the launch of a Burton snowboarding stage. There were 4 stages and over 80 acts played to 20,000 people.
