Taihu Midi Day 1

 

 

After a lot of rain the day before, Taihu Midi was a muddy mess, but it did not stop people from coming and having a good time. During the day, it was all electronic music at the two stages, and one stage changed to rock and metal at about 6 PM.

 

 

 

 

 

At about 6 PM, the Grass stage at Taihu Midi switched to rock and metal with the French band “Rise of the North Star”. They were loud, very loud, and full of energy, and the crowd went crazy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following “Rise of the North Star” was the Chinese band Voodoo KungFu. I have heard a lot about this band over the last few years, and they were the main reason why I came to shoot this festival, so I was excited to see their set. Unfortunately, they started their set nearly 30 minutes late, which really messed up my schedule as my bus back to Suzhou was leaving soon. As a result, I could only shoot two of their songs. However, in those first two songs, they were really cool. I will most definitely go shoot them again in the future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 1 was good and I hope that day will be just as entertaining.
