Storm Festival
A Budweiser-backed, Shanghai-born and raised EDM event with a penchant for extra-terrestrial narratives. The line-up features basically any big name EDM star who wasn’t hoovered up by Ultra; KYGO, Marshmello, UZ, Axwell Ingresso, Mija and Laidback Luke are all on the bill. Interestingly though, they’ve also got The Chemical Brothers making their Mainland China debut.
Shanghai International Music Village No. 188 Lane 399, Shendi Dong Lu. Sat 23 -Sun 24 Sep. Midday. 780RMB per day; 680-1,080RMB two-day (presale). Long-press and extract the QR code in the image to book tickets.
Against the Current
American trio Against The Current – whose music is firmly going with the current of safe pop-rock – make their Shanghai debut as part of their In Our Bones world tour.
Bandai Namco Shanghai Base 79 Yichang Lu, near Jiangning Lu. Sun 24. 280RMB. Long-press and extract the QR code in the image to book tickets.
OneRepublic
We'd have told you sooner but it's now too late to apologise: OneRepublic is coming to Shanghai. 'Apologize', from their 2007 album Dreaming Out Loud became the anthem of many a broken-hearted high school ex, and since then the band has experienced uninterrupted success, being ever-present on the US Billboard Top 100.
Mercedes-Benz Arena 1200 Shibo Avenue, near Shangnan Lu. Wed 27 Sep. 8pm. 380-1,280RMB. Long-press and extract the QR code in the image to book tickets.
Legally Blonde: The Musical
The story of sorority-girl-turned-law student Elle Woods hits the Shanghai stage in Legally Blonde: The Musical. The show makes for fabulously fun watching and an exhilaratingly big-hearted evening.
Shanghai Culture Square 597 Fuxing Zhong Lu. Dec 15-27. 200-1,000RMB (preorder). Long-press and extract the QR code in the image to book tickets.
JZ Festival 2017
On the bill are the likes of Kool and the Gang, Andy Summers (former guitarist for The Police) and Chris Dave and the Drumhedz as JZ Festival returns to its regular stomping ground of recent years, the Expo Garden Park beside Mercedes-Benz Arena.
Expo Garden Park Shibo Avenue, near Zhoujiadu Lu. Fri 13-Sun 15 Oct. 11am-10pm. 260-320RMB. Long-press and extract the QR code in the image to book tickets.
2017 UFC Fight Night Shanghai
UFC's first ever show in Mainland China rolls into Shanghai, with the MMA giant looking to finally establish a presence in the country. Expect a lot of Asian talent and homegrown stars having a chance to showcase their skills.
Mercedes-Benz Arena 1200 Shibo Avenue, near Shangnan Lu. Sat 25 Nov. Time TBA. Early-bird tickets from 252RMB. Long-press and extract the QR code in the image to book tickets.
West Side Story
Inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, it’s the tale of two teen gangs, the Sharks and the Jets as they battle for control of their New York neighbourhood. West Side Story may not quite be on the level of Bloods and Crips gang warfare, but it’s a wonderful tale that is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicals of all time.
Shanghai Culture Square 597 Fuxing Zhong Lu. Thu 23 Nov-Wed 6 Dec. 7.15pm. 200RMB-1,000RMB. Long-press and extract the QR code in the image to book tickets.
