thats not an "extravaganza" there ...
China Music Valley Festival Lineup Released
It seems the end to festival silly season could be in sight as summer music behemoth China Music Valley Festival has now released an official-looking lineup for the May extravaganza.
Lineups for Strawberry and Midi Music festivals have been confirmed and finalised and shouldn't be altered again before next week's opening day
Though several of the international acts set to appear at CMVF haven’t confirmed as much on their own official websites yet, the release of the event poster brings us a step closer to something like a final confirmed lineup.
Death and taxes are the only certainties we hear about, but we seem able to take Joss Stone’s attendance as read. She has confirmed on her official site that she will be in the Middle Kingdom in May, with a show inked for Shanghai, too.
The most recent additions to the bill are Scottish rockers Glasvegas who will precede White Lies and Jesus and Mary Chain on Saturday May 19th.
The Sunday schedule sees Finnish electronic trio Husky Rescue kick off a climax which includes British singer songwriter Pixie Lott and Friendly Fires before Ms. Stone brings proceedings to a close.
One of our personal highlights on the scheduled lineup is a performance (demonstration?) by the city’s favourite Nordic fitness trainers who will limber the crowd into a frenzy with their unique brand of Heyrobics from 10am on Sunday May 20th.
Ticket prices have also been announced. That much talent don’t come cheap, and organizers have revealed that a three-day pass will cost an eye-watering RMB 580 at the door, with a one-day ticket costing RMB 350. However, early birds will be rewarded for their expedition with a big saving. A three-day pass bought before May 6th will cost RMB 400.
More information as we get it, but it might (might) be safe to start planning your weekend between May 18th and 20th.

The International lineup for all three Festivals is second rate. The problem is Major International acts get paid in USD and with the exchange rate the organisers here wouldn't have enough gate receipts to afford having a number of major acts perform. Ticket prices would have to raised to very high levels, more than the average concert goer could afford. Shame as they are Great Festivals and the people deserve better, but it's beyond the organisers control unfortunately.
