30 · 07 · 2025
Earlier this month, we made our way to Hangzhou for the latest edition of the Strawberry Music Festival, one of the most significant outdoor music festivals in China, to reconnect with the scene and some of its stars.
Since its inception in 2009, Strawberry has evolved into an essential cultural event, celebrated for showcasing a wide range of artists from across Asia.
This year's event in Hangzhou featured electrifying performances from Japanese rock icons ACIDMAN and KANA-BOON, along with impressive shows by Chinese artists such as Sound Fragment (声音碎片), Hiperson (海朋森), and Gao Jiafeng (高嘉丰).
We engaged in extensive discussions with several of the artists about creativity, connection, and the changing dynamics of the Asian indie music scene. Watch our interviews on Douyin HERE.
With multiple stages, captivating art installations, and a diverse audience spanning generations, the festival thrived on both nostalgia and new experiences. From sunlit afternoons to late-night encores, the Hangzhou edition highlighted why Strawberry is a vital part of live music in Asia.
