迷笛音乐节由北京迷笛音乐学校举办，在1993年建立，是北京第一所也是唯一一所摇滚音乐学校。同时也是中国首家将课程侧重于现代音乐如摇滚、爵士、蓝调、流行、拉丁、乡村、放克等等的音乐学校。学校的宗旨是“传播艺术的、人文的现代音乐理论，教育推广精湛的现代音乐演绎技法。”

    The 2006 festival, held in Beijing's Haidian Park, hosted 40-80 thousand visitors, and featured performances by more than 50 bands (including 18 foreign bands, such as Alev, Monokino, Yokohama Music Association, The Wombats, and The Mayflies) performing on four stages (Main Stage, Guitarchina Stage, Mini Midi Stage, and Disco Stage). The artists spanned a wide rangeof genres. The 2007 festival included UK acts The Crimea, Kava Kava (band), Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, and the Soundtrack Of Our Lives. Due to the Beijing 2008 Olympics, the festival this year was delayed to October. Let's look at it througt the audience's eyes.
