ROCKBUNDLESS Soundstage (hosted by ROCKBUND and OKOK) is a three-day music festival celebrating and revitalizing the Capitol Theatre, located on the banks of Suzhou Creek just before it meets the Huangpu River. Inviting seven bands to perform inside the theater before its upcoming renovation, the project is a perfect meeting of old and new, as some of the scene's most exciting voices look to "reawaken" the landmark building. The lineup includes the indie rock godfathers Carsick Cars, along with genre-bending electro-pop supergroup Mola Oddity, featuring renowned Mandopop singer Amber Kuo. The second evening hosts Shanghai spiritual jazz craftsmen Pu Poo Platter, NaraBara — blending Mongolian musical traditions with modern rhythms — and the Disco King live art project, initiated by Shu Zi-jun and Ricky of Click #15 fame. Night three closes with Beijing live electronica duo white+ and Shanghai dance art-punk renegades Absolute Purity, known for their explosive mix of post-punk, electronica, and psychedelic music. Beyond the concerts, the festival also features DJ rhythm fitness sessions, behind-the-scenes talks, dance healing workshops, and more, extending the experience beyond the stage and into the surrounding neighborhood while inviting people to form new connections with the century-old building. A distortion-blurring collision of past and present — it sounds like one heck of a way to reintroduce the Capitol Theatre to the public.
