If you have had your head stuck up your own asshole this year, it will come as a complete surprise to you that the Jue Festival kicks off in earnest today with Death Cab For Cutie at the Yunfeng Theatre.
Click on the flyer there for large.
Also, Shanghai 247 have a wonderful dedicated page to the festival.
And from that page you can download the PDF of the schedule. The Jue festival is a cross city event that lasts three weeks and includes many music, art and creative events at many different venues.
There is a mix of international and local talent, something for everyone. There are DJ parties by Love Bang including Bicep, there are rock/indie gigs with Death Cab, Boys Climbing Ropes, Residence A and many more. There are photography nights, comps, a vodka mixing event and even a hacker space workshop on how to build your own synths.
It goes on and on and I can't possibly cover it all in this short post. So follow the links, get the schedule and get out and do something which is not part of the work-bar-DVD cycle.
