A Message to Our Amazing YinYang Family: Festival postponed to 2026
Dear YinYang community,
We have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately, YinYang Music Festival 2025 will not take place.
The dates we had secured with the local government and venue—August 29–31, 2025—were recently revoked by the regional authorities due to a major political event in Tianjin, the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) summit, scheduled for the same weekend.
We immediately took action to explore alternative dates a few weeks later. However, the process of securing the necessary licenses for those dates is moving too slowly. Given the uncertainty and the limited time left for proper preparation, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2025 edition.
As you can imagine, organizing an event on the Great Wall of China is an extremely unique and complex undertaking, and this time, the process has taken longer than expected.
Our focus now shifts to 2026, and once we have clear plans, we’ll share updates via our social channels.
Ticket Refunds
If you’ve already purchased tickets for 2025—don’t worry! Your tickets will be fully refunded.
Bringing you this news was not easy, but we believe in doing things the right way. It’s important to us that we deliver the unforgettable experience you deserve. We’re already working hard to make sure 2026 will be worth the wait.
With our deepest thanks for your continued support and understanding,
Tommy, Rainbow & Merlijn

Dear Yinyang Music Festival friends and fans,

it has been a long time since you have heard from us. This is due to the rollercoaster we all have been going through over the past couple of months. The Covid-19 virus has been dictating our lives, challenging our perspective on what we envision as a “normal day” and has made most of us understand for the first time the fragile state of our society.

Our thoughts go out to all the people around the globe that are suffering due to the virus or have lost a loved one, dear friend or family member. Where the philosophy of “yin & yang” describes how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent, we cannot only put emphasis on the negative elements of the Covid-19 disaster. Since beautiful aspects have spread around globe along with the virus.

On macro level, planet earth is enjoying a break from the ever expanding pollution and depletion caused by the unstoppable hunger of the human species for economic growth. And on a personal level people suddenly develop a social mindset. The notion of collectivism instead of individualism and the trust in “we power”. Finally there is time to focus on family, take care of the old neighbor in need and to realize there are more important elements in life than WORK WORK WORK.
This temporary lockdown however, will most likely not be sufficient to change our society structures. Besides social distancing as the new normal, most of us will continue with our jobs like we did before Covid-19, get caught up again in the daily rush and loose track of the new life values we briefly encountered during lockdown.

However it’s very important not to loose sight of the social and environmental messages that have spread around the globe together with Covid-19. Take care of each other and take care of planet earth. All of us can and should implement these norms into our daily lives.

About YinYang Music Festival, we have decided to delay the upcoming edition (planned dates were June 25/26/27 2020). This is not the right time to celebrate the beauty of electronic music culture at the Great Wall of China. We will delay to this autumn or next year, depending on the global developments.
Be safe!

Love to all of you from the YYMF team,

Rainbow and Tommy

ARTIST FEATURE #3
UK DJ Lee UHF - Dirtbox Live lifting our feet off the ground at this year's edition of YYMF. As a first-timer at the festival, we were curious about his experience.
1) What has been your favorite moment of 2019?
🛤Without a doubt my favorite moment was playing on the Great Wall. The surrounding and vibe throughout the festival has been incredible.
2) How would you describe the vibe of YYMF in one word?
👫👭👬It's like a big family - very friendly and one I am loving to get to know more and more.
3) Which track brings you straight back to YYMF?
📀 I played my Techno Rodeo by Jay Walker, which is a soon-to-be released track on my label. It will forever remind me of this experience now.
