Stuck Watching Music Festival Livestreams Abroad? Here’s How Overseas Chinese Can Bypass Geo-Restrictions

I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break in Toronto when I saw the announcement – #2025Peak•ZebraMusicFestival# Huangshan edition is officially confirmed for September 6-7! The promotional images of musicians performing against the backdrop of Huangshan’s iconic yellow mountains made me instantly homesick.

The post described how the festival, co-hosted by Zebra Craft Beer and QQ Music, will transform Huangshan’s Youyou Lake Cultural Center into a musical paradise this autumn. ‘Music rises beneath Huangshan, melodies flow through the sea of clouds’ – the poetic caption gave me goosebumps. I could almost smell the crisp mountain air mixed with the energy of live performances.

But then reality hit – when I clicked the livestream link from last year’s festival to get a taste of what to expect, that dreaded message popped up: ‘This content is not available in your region.’ My excitement turned to frustration faster than you can say ‘geo-block’.

The 2025 Zebra Music Festival promises to be spectacular – with the hashtag #WithTheBeautifulMoments, they’re promoting it as more than just performances, but shared experiences. Which makes it even more frustrating when technical barriers prevent us from participating in these cultural moments.

So here’s what I’ve learned after years of battling the ‘content not available’ message (and plenty of trial and error). While I can’t promise front-row seats to the Huangshan music festival, these methods should at least get you through the digital door…
