It would be nothing new that the BeastieRock is full of indie music talents. This year, the festival is featuring vocal talents with other work of lines such as filmmakers and politicians: actor who portrayed the character “Tony” from the most popular cult movie in years Story in Taipei, Oscar Chiu (邱志宇) will perform his first show with his own songs as a singer/songwriter; Taipei City Councilor candidates Froggy Chiu (呱吉), Poya Miao (苗博雅), and web-based satire media EYECTV (眼球中央電視台) host Ocular Nerve (動眼神經) will take over the stage with something unexpected.

The BeastieRock 2018 will contain 5 stages in total for live performances. In order to take advantage of its easy access location, there will be a free stage setup close by the MRT Tamsui Station to feature new and coming bands. The festival goers will be able to sample new talents even before entering the festival ground. The free stage will also act as a taster for tourists and locals before they tickets. Aside from 5 live music stages packed with bands, there will also be a stage with high profile DJs, and market place full of food stands. The festival goers will not leave unsatisfied for their body crave and music thirst.
