The whole people in Shijiazhuang are shaking up. This summer, families of all ages and genders are out in Shijiazhuang | Rock | All People
Last weekend, Shijiazhuang shook up!
On the evening of July 22nd, just after 7 o'clock, a crowd had gradually gathered at the North Square of Xiantianxia Shopping Mall. That night, the lead singers of Horizon Band, including Xing Di and Zhang Xin, along with 11 other bands, began their "Passionate Summer Night" rock music performances at 10 commercial complexes in Shijiazhuang. Many families or friends come early to choose a good location close to the stage.
"We saw the performance schedule yesterday and came here early today," said a woman who came to watch the show with her child. Her child then added, "I really enjoy music myself and have been learning guitar for nearly two years."
In the eyes of their mother and son, although Shijiazhuang's proposal to build a "city of rock and roll" has received some criticism from the outside world, they are very confident. Shijiazhuang has its roots and history in the field of rock, and there is a video on NetEase Cloud Music titled "How Shijiazhuang, Not Too Rock, Becomes the" Hometown of Rock and Roll "in China", which specifically explains the reasons why Shijiazhuang is suitable for building a "City of Rock and Roll". After everyone reads it, it will definitely inspire new ideas and perspectives The mother said.
At the event venue in front of the Xiantianxia Shopping Mall, there was also a family of four from three generations who came to watch the performance together. Mr. Huang said, "We came from Qiaoxi to Xiantianxia in Qiaodong to watch this performance. We really hope that this music festival activity can be successful. Shijiazhuang has contributed to the lives of the people and the economic construction of the provincial capital by creating a 'Rock City', which is a great thing. I also look forward to letting friends from all over the country learn about Shijiazhuang and come to Shijiazhuang for tourism and business."
A spectator holding a motorcycle helmet said, "This place is very close to my home and work. Last week, I had a special regret of not being able to attend the scene due to overtime. Today, I came with equipment after work. Motorcycle rock doesn't separate families. It would be even better if Shijiazhuang could lift the ban on motorcycles."
That night, not only was there a "Passionate Summer Night" rock music performance held at the commercial complex square, but 14 bands including Role Models, Gravitational Waves, and Standing Forbidden Area also performed "Weekend Lawn" rock music in 9 parks including Century Park, Water Park, and Dongyuan Ancient City Ruins Park.
At Century Park, a childish singing sound sounded, and the audience on site jumped to the rhythm - the original song "Good Role Models" by the Role Models band pushed the atmosphere of the night's performance to a climax. "I didn't expect there to be such a band in Shijiazhuang, all of them are girls in their early teens, so cool!" A father who came to the scene with his child said, hoping that his child could be infected by these girls and also fall in love with music.
Li Bingyu, the person in charge of the Performing Arts Branch of Shijiazhuang Tourism Investment Group Culture and Sports Company, stated in an interview with Jiefang Daily Shangguan News that as the organizer of two rock music performances, "Passionate Summer Night" and "Weekend Lawn", Shijiazhuang Tourism Investment Group is committed to creating a nationwide and public welfare event. Rock music performances will be held irregularly on weekends from July to October. After two weeks of performance activities, it can be seen that the emotions of the citizens are very high, and the response is very enthusiastic. At different performance locations, many admirers will gather. She expressed her hope to further enrich the cultural life of the masses, cultivate new cultural consumption formats, and promote the development of Shijiazhuang's night economy through music season activities.
