Beijing, one of China's largest urban areas, has seen its host of music festivals across a number of genres drop as the authorities are making it almost impossible for large groups of people to gather for any reason. The cause for the cancellations isn't the usual paranoia from the government, but rather fear that potential disasters at such events could result in a black eye for the Central Government, which is located out of the city. Analysts have traced the crackdown to the New Year's event where 36 Shanghai citizens were killed in a stampede. President Xi Jinping ordered an investigation into culpability for the tragedy, and now no government official wants bad news coming to his desk.
