The best live music in Shanghai this week

2017-06-28 Jake Newby TimeOutShanghai


So it's exit On Stage this weekend, with the JZ-backed livehouse making way (along with the rest of Red Town) for what'll likely be some office blocks or run-of-the-mill retail development. On Stage hasn't always enjoyed a consistency of programming that might have helped it build a more regular audience, but there have still been some good shows at the venue. Whether the brand is revived in a different location remains to be seen, but either way, this Saturday marks the final show at the Red Town incarnation. Read on for our live music highlights for the week below.
