Neo Bar - the legendary live music venue deep in the heart of Yangpu’s university district - has been giving solace to the young corruptible souls and raising some of Shanghai’s most beloved music acts for a whopping twelve years (across three different locations)! The bright red lights; the dueling movie screenings; the fridge full of Asahi bottles; and its motley crew of rabble-rousers keeping the place afloat - it’s iconic! As expected, the team will be celebrating the only way they know how - with two nights of music - with some of our favorite acts that have graced the stage over the years. Night one features Shanghai rock and roll renegades Dirty Fingers alongside fellow patrons Sunken Square, and one of 2023’s most talked about acts - the explosive young emo noise rockers Serious Desperado who have risen from the dead for the occasion. Night two features two of Xinxiang’s most feverish live acts - punk stalwarts Pumpkins and Colombian Col, who have turned their madcap, visceral, and just-about irrelevant noise rock into the sermon - developing cult-like status in just under a year. Joining them are Beijing rap-rock outfit Cypher T and Shanghai’s own psych blues rockers Poetry in Shorts. A symphony of debauchery.
