Hong Kong waterfront rocks to debut Dragonland Music Festival
Canto-pop, electronic dance music and contemporary pop joined forces as Japanese American DJ Steve Aoki, Leon Lai Ming and The Black Eyed Peas led a music line-up that had the crowd jumping on a very cold weekend in Central
The Dragonland Music Festival breathed a little fire over the 40,000 people who braved the cold weather and flocked to the Central Harbourfront over the weekend to catch the debut edition of the city’s latest large-scale music event.
With just one huge stage set against the iconic Central skyline, Dragonland found a festival formula that works in Hong Kong, by combining Canto-pop with electronic dance music (EDM) and contemporary pop.
The festival opened on Friday night with a full-scale Canto-pop extravaganza featuring Leon Lai Ming, with the Hong Kong icon making a successful return to the Central Harbourfront after his concert series at the same venue last year was marred by cancellations over safety violations.
