Rock music festival adds spice to May Day holiday

BEIJING, May 5 (Xinhua) -- A cooling rain failed to dampen the fervor of more than 10,000 rock music fans in Beijing's Haidian Park on May 4.

"The rain won't extinguish our passion for rock-n-roll!" shouted Qin Tong vocalist of the rock band Honey Gun as the crowd shouted its agreement and kept dancing to the music.

From May 1 to May 4, China's capital became a paradise for thousands of rock fans from all over the country. Forty bands, many playing punk and heavy metal music, and dozens of DJ's were featured at the 7th Midi Music Festival.
