Imagine the Midi music festival on a beach, then you will have an idea of what the Big Love Beach Festival is going to be like.

Following the Midi festival held in May, which was China's largest outdoor musical event, music fans are gearing up for a cool beach festival at the holiday resort of Beidaihe, north China, from August 24 to 26.

More than 100 Chinese and foreign musicians will perform for some 10,000 audience on the beach. Genres will include electro, hip-hop, folk and punk rock.

Among the headlines are rock bands Reflector and Honey Gun, Beijing techno musician Sulumi, and DJ @llen, who enjoys the title of godfather of electronic dance music in Taiwan.

Many of these musicians are active performers on the Midi stages.

The festival will also feature a variety of other activities including barbecues, installation art, beach volleyball, scuba diving and whatever else people do for fun on a beach, according to the event's organizer.
