Shan Wei of Rock For China dropped a major bomb today: there will be no Beijing Pop Festival this year, due to uncertainties in the current climate for music events.
"Things are too risky this year," he said. "It’s the earthquake, the Olympics, Bjork – everything this year has affected our decision.” He also stressed that it was an internal decision made by Rock For China, without any signal from the government.
Reached by phone in Hong Kong, where he’s making his own rounds through a few other music conferences, Rock For China president Jason Magnus confirmed the festival’s cancellation for this year, saying that the decision was made for purely “prudent” reasons, due to the financial risks with possibly being faced with a canceled festival after paying for permits and artist fees – a situation, for example, that Midi found themselves in (fortunately, they’re historically thrifty with their artist fees).
“Bjork has had a big impact – it was really bad timing, right before the torch relay,” he says, adding, “[even post-Olympics], one has to be careful, I’d say for at least a year after the Olympics. It’s very hard to predict how the government will react, but you can’t blame the Ministry of Culture – they just don’t want to take chances.” Also, as Olympic preparations are likewise affecting Chaoyang Park (with the beach volleyball events being held there), “it’s not just a government issue, it’s about venues – we don’t want to take the risk.”
“We had a great lineup ready for this year,” says Magnus. And while he wouldn’t tell me who was in that lineup, of course, he did mention that they had “listened to the criticisms” from last year, suggesting that the bill might have been “more dance-oriented, with more contemporary artists, nothing too old. We wanted to make a lot of changes: get rid of the VIP area, have a bigger (though perhaps not as subversive) lineup, etc.”
Rest assured, however, that Beijing Pop Festival is still Rock For China’s central event (and as such, we should definitely expect an edition next year, and years after that). In the meantime, Magnus says, “we’re working on some other things. Currently, the festival format is really risky, but we might try something different at the end of the year.” (Among other shows, Rock For China also organized the NOFX show in April 2007 – something the band might have a comment or two about.

不是直译的，我就简单的总结一下-nixy
由于比约克上海演唱会闹的事，加上地震、奥运会等等，2008北京流行音乐节终于被和谐了，**还没有明确的通知，但摇滚中国为顾全大局决定取消今年的演出，很多费用已经支付给艺人，损失会很大，但还是会坚持办下去，并且为了能更好的经营这个音乐节的项目，他们会尝试各种方式，比如正式发行2007年NOFX在北京的演唱会的官方版本，今后的音乐节会做得更专业，比如取消VIP区等等。
看到这个消息真是非常的失望，不过看到摇滚中国能采纳大家的意见取消VIP区还是高兴了一把，没办法了，期待明年可以正常举行吧，nixy敬上。
