VAS est is one of Shanghai's newer live music venues, located at the West Bund. The spacious venue has quickly become a regular stop for international touring acts, larger indie shows, and electronic music events, with a modern sound and lighting setup designed for bigger productions. While its sister venue, VAS ear, focuses on more intimate gigs, VAS est offers a larger-scale concert experience without feeling overly commercial, making it a popular destination for both local music fans and overseas artists visiting Shanghai.
