A CARNIVAL for fans of extreme sports and music will be held tomorrow at the Shanghai SMP Skate Park in New Jiangwan Town of northeastern Shanghai's Yangpu District, one of the world's largest and most modern.
The 2009 Mountain Dew Shanghai Extreme Sports and Music Festival runs from 10:30am to 8:30pm.
The festival has three parts - live music and battle of the bands, extreme sports, and activities celebrating National Day and recruiting volunteers for World Expo 2010 Shanghai.
These events are organized by the Shanghai Extreme Sports Association and the International Channel of Shanghai (ICS).
In the "battle of the bands" section, there will be no professional judges. The audience will determine the winners by applauding and cheering. When each band plays, equipment will record the decibels of the audience's cheers.
