The leafy mountainside of Kunlun Herb Garden in Longtan will ring with
beats and songs again this year, June 13th to 15th, as peace-lovers from
all over the island gather again to join hands for an end to war. Now
Since 2005, the Peacefest in Kunlun Gardens, Longtan, has grown
to be one of the best-known music and art festivals of the year on
Taiwan, drawing a veritable `who's who' of the Taiwan independent music
scene, as well as artists, speakers, fire-dancers, representatives of
NGOs, a puppet theatre group, and several hundred partygoers to the
firefly-lit mountains for the weekend
The Peacefest is one of the
The Peacefest is one of the best little festivals in Taiwan. I highly recommend going this year. I have been there for the past 3 years and it gets better and better every year. Also, last year we (Divebomb, Full House, the Follows, and Ryan Fernandez, and www.therealtaiwan.com) held a pre-party and helped to raise some extra money and helped promoting the festival in Tainan at the Armory.
This year I'd be willing to help get another show set up somewhere in town, if people want to get information (like flyers with directions and what not) and hear some great tunes it will be a great night.
I don't know how much it is going to cost this year, but they are in the same location but have rented more space for camping, so you can actually get some sleep this year if you want! They just made the schedule last weekend and 29 of the best bands on the island will be gracing the stage this year. Check their website for more details.
