Dubbed Taiwan’s “Woodstock,” the “Hohaiyan Rock Festival” will be held for three consecutive days this year on July 9, 10, and 11 at Fulong Beach with great enthusiasm. Since its inception in 2000, the event has now entered its 11th edition, and the highly competitive “Ocean Independent Music Awards,” which draws attention from independent bands, has become even more intense. Ten bands selected from 213 across Taiwan will compete on July 10.

The Ocean Music Festival is the most anticipated summer music event for Taiwanese youth every year. The first day of this year’s festival will feature the theme “Countdown of Memories, Reliving Glory,” inviting past award-winning bands to return to the main stage. Acts including Sodagreen, MC HotDog & Chang Chen-yue, Crowd Lu, Tizzy Bac, 88 Balaz, Fat Shady, Gods of Fire, Totem, Spinning Butterflies, and Mutated Genes will perform back-to-back, carrying strong legacy vibes.
The most thrilling part of the Ocean Music Festival — the “Ocean Music Awards” — will select winners for three awards: “Ocean Music Award,” “Jury Grand Prize,” and “Ocean Star” from the 10 bands chosen through preliminary rounds. A diverse range of musical styles such as punk rock, British rock, electro-rock, and hip-hop rock guarantees an exhilarating experience for audiences. On July 11, under the theme “World Rock Night,” the event will feature performances by Japan’s SuG, South Korea’s The Melody, China’s Slim Men, Hong Kong’s Josie & The Uni Boys, Thailand’s August, U.S.’s Beautiful Day, France’s Stuck in The Sound, and Taiwan’s legendary musician Hu Defu, bringing the curtain down on this year’s Ocean Music Festival.
