Ho-hai-yan Rock Festival Kicks Off Next Week - Spectacular Ocean Independent Music Awards with Non-stop Excitement
 
[New Taipei City News] The Ho-hai-yan Rock Festival, part of the 2024 New Taipei River and Ocean Music Season, will be grandly held from July 19 (Friday) to July 21 (Sunday) at Fulong Beach. In addition to an exciting lineup over the three days, the top 10 bands will compete for the Ocean Independent Music Awards on Saturday, July 20!

The Ho-hai-yan Rock Festival, held since 2000, is now in its 21st year. It adheres to five core principles: "Originality" in independent music, showcasing innovation and uniqueness; "Localization" by integrating the tourism features of the Northeast Coast, rich in local cultural charm; "Internationalization" by organizing diverse and open international music exchange events, promoting global musical cultural exchanges; providing "Free" pure music enjoyment, allowing music fans to experience original music without burden; and focusing on "Creating and Nurturing the Future," providing a stage for independent bands to be seen, becoming a cradle for future stars of independent music. This year, more than 200 bands registered for the Ocean Independent Music Awards, the highest in nearly a decade. After preliminary rounds and selections, the top 10 will perform on Saturday, July 20, competing for the honor of the "Ocean Award," the highest accolade for original music. Come and join your favorite bands to rock Gongliao!

In addition to the brilliant performances of independent bands, there will be a market and summer-themed installations on site, providing visual and auditory sensory experiences as well as dual feasts for taste and smell. This year’s market booths feature a unique Viking style, incorporating elements of ancient Scandinavian culture and creating a Viking-era setting. They also include immersive LARP (Live Action Role Playing) booths. The market will offer cool ice cream and drinks, barbecue, stir-fried noodles, local delicacies like stone jelly, and essential beverages for the music festival, all available on site! Over the three days, you can also enjoy free admission to the 2024 Fulong International Sand Sculpture Art Festival, which this year features the "LINE FRIENDS Summer Star Party" themed sand sculpture exhibition, running until October 13. Don't miss this opportunity!

The New Taipei City Tourism and Travel Department invites everyone to Fulong Beach from July 19 (Friday) to July 21 (Sunday) to support the independent bands and cheer for your favorite contestants. Immerse yourself in original music and indulge in a feast of delicious food! For more information about the event, please check the relevant links.
