Jul 2: The Beijing Underground Sweet Summer Music Days Part 3
The Beijing Underground Sweet Summer Music Days is a great way to enjoy all the best music the capital has to offer. The third installment of the series is being held at Yue Space. The lineup includes Macondo, WHAI, Su & The Paramecia, Djang San + Band and Couple Cups.

Jul 3: David Thomas Broughton
English folk singer and guitarist David Thomas Broughton brings his melodious sound to Mogu Space. The artist has released four solo albums – most to critical acclaim – filled with wackily improvised sounds from devices such as radios and televisions. Another memorable instrument Broughton uses is his voice: warbly, Devendra Banhart-esque and perfectly suited to his serious lyrics. (Broughton also appears at Beijing’s Yue Space a day later.)
Mon Jul 3, 9pm; Mogu Space, see event listing.
