*** Annual Competition for Sharing Band Sound ***
For 14 years, Tom Lee Music and Carlsberg have created a new wave of popular culture in Hong Kong with the quintessential Carlsberg Pop Music Festival. Started in 1985 with the aim of promoting original band sound and providing opportunity for young musicians to express their talents, the Carlsberg Pop Music Festival had drawn overwhelming response from local musicians and wide-spread support from the music industry. Through the years, the Competition has not only recognized the amazing talents of local musicians but also cultivated a spirit of originality in the local popular music scene.
Since 1997, the Festival was re-named as Carlsberg Music Expression, which symbolized the coming-of-age development of the event and its achievement in extending the horizons of pop music. Looking back at its 14 years, the exciting event has been the annual highlight in the local pop music scene, not just for new bands to compete on-stage but also for famous bands and artists to make their special guest appearances. Even for anyone who has taken part as an audience, the Festival has definitely been one of their most unforgettable musical experience.
