Record label Modern Sky throws one of Shanghai's biggest music festivals in the lovely Expo park every year during the May holiday. Expect three days of rock, electronic music, some pop crossover, and not-great alcohol selection. Pretty good time though. Headliners this year include The Hives (May 1, 8.20pm), Dinosaur Jr. (May 2, 5.20pm), Carly Rae Jepsen (May 3, 6.50pm), and Tricky (May 3, 7.40pm). Tickets are 240rmb per day or 500rmb for three days pre-sale on the Modern Sky site. Door tickets are 300rmb. Expect big crowds. Goes from 1–9.30pm daily, with after-parties happening at Arkham and a few other venues. For a FULL lineup, schedule, and more crucial info, click here.
