With a new three-day format, and new sustainability initiatives, the sixth iteration will feature family-friendly activities and workshops, as well as 69 top music and DJ acts into the night at Sai Yuen farm on Cheung Chau.
Following a three-year Covid-induced hiatus, Shi Fu Miz festival seeks to showcase the finest electronic music and give prominence to upcoming artists who previously lacked a platform.
Catering to an intimate audience of just 5,000, the 2023 instalment will involve a new pillars programme which include: lifestyle, wellbeing, family, scenography, and sustainability & ecology.
Just 30-minutes from the city, on the idyllic shoreline of Cheung Chau, the Shi Fu Miz sound systems will be set up at on four stages at the grassy Sai Yuen farm.
The line-up includes US techno duo Octavo One, a celebration of Dutch label Rush Hour, South African magician Esa, the Japanese wizard Soichi Teradaperforming live, Midland, and Red Greg from UK, and many other international, regional and local artists.
More than just a music festival, Shi Fu Miz has evolved into something for everyone, young and old, friends, couples and even families…
A weekend escape with a natural vibe and easy-going afternoon music running the gamut through jazzy, disco and funk to house, techno and breakbeat. The farmland it sits on is great for exploring and is also a luxury camping area that offers teepees, safari tents and geodesic domes. The grounds are laid out so people can relax in different areas around the venue: from beaches, to grassy fields, and even a concrete pit for roller skating. Spread out over three days, there is plenty of time to spend at the different well-being activities or taking part in some creative workshops.
Scenography at the festival will be curated by creative studio Raito from Amsterdam alongside creative talent from Hong Kong. They will be responsible for the lighting and art installations in the festival fields, with several Hong Kong-based art studios participating elsewhere.
Shi Fu Miz will be placing a greater focus on wellness and wellbeing this year, which will evolve through diverse activities such as yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound healing and more.
Shi Fu Miz is for kids, too. The festival is free for kids under 12 with plenty of activities and workshops to keep them busy. More information soon.
Shi Fu Miz has become known for unifying a tribe of people responsible for and sensitive to environmental issues, and once again looks to cement its commitment to sustainability. Alongside the usual operations like eco-talks, eco-workshops and beach clean ups, the festival will be setting new goals towards its journey to becoming zero-waste. The event will once again forbid the use of plastic bottles or any single-use plastic on site and festival goers are instead encouraged to bring their own reusable bottle and take advantage of the free water dispensers scattered across the site. Other initiatives will be introduced this year including replacing the plastic bags usually found in rubbish bins with biodegradable bags. Stages and decoration will also be built up of recycled and upcycled materials. Finally, the festival is encouraging its guests to seek out more information surrounding sustainability by participating in eco-talks, eco-workshops, and more.
