Here is wikipedia's explanation of the annual Formoz Festival:
The annual Formoz Festival, Spring Scream, and Gung-liao Ho-hai-yan Rock Festival are representative gatherings within Taiwan's indie scene. Of these, Formoz Festival is notable for its international draw.
Facing the threat of typhoon Phoenix, lots of people still decided to attend the Formoz Festival 2008. One of them was Stanley:

People were eager to attend because there won't be Formoz Festival in the coming year. The Children's Recreation Center that has been chosen for holding Formoz Festival for several years will not be available next year, and it is not easy to find a proper location in a short time.
Issadamor appealed to friends for attending the event.
野台開唱終於要來了!今年官方也發表明年將暫停舉辦野台開唱,所以今年的野台開唱勢必不能錯過啦!!
Iron reminded that there was a stage devoted to human right.
太陽狠毒,但ngo同伴們都認真而可愛地擺起攤位…最動人的一刻是八點鐘,我們為中國異議維權人士胡佳慶生,並且由歐噴愛伴奏生日歌。

We will not see Formoz Festival next year. However, many of us are looking forward to see another Formoz Festival in the near future. One of the organizers, Carol, said,
照顧好自己,也替我照顧好野台,好嗎?再見。
