[New Taipei City News] The eagerly awaited summer music event in New Taipei City is about to kick off! The top 30 contestants for the "Gongliao International Ocean Music Festival—Ocean Indie Music Awards" as part of the 2024 New Taipei River and Ocean Music Festival have been officially announced! This year’s pre-event competitions will take place from June 21st (Friday) to June 23rd (Sunday) at the Tamsui Fisherman’s Stage, where the final top 10 will be selected to compete in the finals at the Fulong Beach in Gongliao.

The "2024 New Taipei River and Ocean Music Festival" combines two iconic events: the "Gongliao International Ocean Music Festival," first launched in 2000 as Taiwan’s pioneering government-organized rock music event, and the "Tamsui River Fisherman’s Stage Riverside Music Festival," introduced in 2016 at the mouth of the Tamsui River. This merger promises an enriching lineup of summer music activities, and everyone is invited to join the pre-event competitions from June 21st to June 23rd at the Tamsui Fisherman’s Stage to watch the top 30 creators compete for the top 10 spots. In addition to enjoying the music, visitors can stroll along the boardwalk by the pier, take in the panoramic views of the Tamsui River estuary, or enjoy the sunset at the Lover’s Bridge, creating a feast for both the ears and the eyes.

The "Ocean Indie Music Awards" in Gongliao opened for pre-event competition registrations from April to May 10th, attracting over 200 creators, breaking previous records. The judges selected the top 30 from numerous outstanding works to advance to the pre-event competitions. The top 10 finalists will earn their tickets to the dream stage of indie bands—the "Ocean Indie Music Awards" finals. They will compete for the highest honor in original music—the "Ocean Grand Prize" with a cash award of NT$400,000, the "Jury Prize" with NT$150,000, and the "Ocean Star" with NT$50,000. The event will also feature live performances by independent bands from home and abroad, promising an exhilarating summer music fest!
