"Locals Only" at Modern Sky Festival

In a display of their political hammer-strength, the Chinese government has banned all 14 foreign acts from the Modern Sky Festival due to “unforeseen circumstances.” The festival, which has featured a variety of foreign groups since its first concert in 2007, will now only feature local artists from Beijing and the surrounding provinces. The announcement comes only a few days before the start of the festival.

Promoters had hyped the festivities by claiming that, “at least half of the bands on the main stage will be foreign.” The International Noise Conspiracy, The Buzzcocks, and The Futureheads are among some of the bands that have been cut from the headlining roster. The now “locals only” festival coincides with the 60th anniversary of the Communist regime in China, where a parade has been planned for government officials only and features a series of tanks rolling down the streets of the capital.
