**Wander Rave by Bandulu**
Raised in an artistic environment between France and China, Bandulu is a DJ, producer, and sound explorer who skillfully blends reggae, dub, drum & bass, and UK bass into captivating, groove-centric sets. He has crafted immersive musical experiences over the years, from underground electro events in Lyon to high-octane performances across Europe and Asia. His Wander Rave concept breaks down the traditional DJ booth barrier, using a mobile setup to provide spontaneous performances in streets, parks, and rooftops, making electronic music more accessible than ever.
At Burger Fest, Wander Rave will elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary. Get ready for a roaming, bass-driven experience where the line between performer and audience fades away. Without a stage or boundaries, enjoy a genuine, unfiltered connection through sound.
**AFRO-GENTS**
AFRO-GENTS is a band that showcases a rich diversity in style, talent, and cultural background, bringing an Afro-fusion flavor to the stage. Their music spans various genres such as jazz, R&B, neo-soul, blues, reggae, and primarily Afro-beats. Afro-fusion combines different musical styles, including R&B, reggae, and hip-hop, with traditional Afro-beats.
**Cold Summer**
Born from a mutual passion for rock music and a desire for creative expression, Cold Summer has made its mark. Comprising members from Greece, China, Australia, Russia, and Colombia, this band merges their varied backgrounds and musical styles to create a sound that feels both familiar and refreshing. With Theo on vocals, Clancy on bass, Ashwood and Alex on guitars, and Felipe on drums, they deliver electrifying covers and soul-stirring originals. Cold Summer aims to enthrall audiences with their raw energy and unyielding passion for music.
**Permission Slips**
The Permission Slips are not just a band; they are a middle-aged science experiment. Made up of parents (and one exceptionally talented sixth-grader who might be there against her will), this eclectic group from the Western Academy of Beijing seeks to answer the musical query, “Can old dogs learn new tricks?” Equipped with guitars, drums, a violin, and a playlist ranging from the '60s to the present (which they humorously refer to as “the scary new music kids listen to”), they aim to demonstrate that rock 'n' roll is far from dead — rather, it’s merely on life support, fueled by caffeine and parental urgency.
**Sofistokated**
Sofistokated is a group of rock and metal enthusiasts. Rock 'n' roll is their lifeblood, and they embody it on stage. They transform pop music into heavy versions, celebrating nostalgic times, and they enjoy honoring their favorite bands. With members from diverse backgrounds, their unique styles create an unforgettable experience. Catch them at Juicy Burger Fest as they bring the sound and the energy.
**Somninote**
Emerging as last year's Battle of the Bands champions, Somninote is a student band from Keystone Academy featuring Jeffery on vocals and guitar, Richard on guitar, Terry on drums, and Luke on bass. They not only earned the title of Beijing’s Best International High School Band but also accolades for Best Singer and Best Drummer. Their repertoire includes various indie pop hits from bands such as deca joins and No Party for Cao Dong.
