Video: Music festival shows spirit of band of brothers

On June 6 and 7, 2025, Modern Sky's Strawberry Music Festival, one of China's largest and most influential outdoor events, will make its international debut at Yokohama's Red Brick Park in Japan. This marks the festival's first overseas destination, symbolizing China's growing musical influence.

On March 28, the first batch of lineups was announced, featuring about 20 groups of singers and bands from China, Japan and Thailand, such as Chinese singer-songwriters Chen Li, Zhao Lei, Japanese rock band, I Don't Like Mondays and Bangkok-based singer-songwriter Phum Viphurit.

Since its inception in 2009, the festival has been hosted in 49 cities across China, attracting over 8 million attendees by December 2024. Given Japan's status as the world's second-largest music market, it was a natural and strategic choice for the festival's first international expansion.
