On Sep 1, chart-topping electronic singer-songwriter-rapper Example is bringing his full band down. The next night, rising Norweigian producer Alan Walker will be joined by a special guest spinning melodic electro-house. Veteran live drum and bass band Rudimental will be joined by trumpeter Mark Crown for an extra soulful soul on Sep 5. Three-day passes available for RMB500.


Sep 1: Example

   

The electronic singer-songwriter has topped the UK charts with a distinct sound that incorporates rap and dubstep.
