Shanghai-based music promoters Split Works are back again with their fourth edition of Concrete & Grass, and now's your last chance to buy tickets. On September 15-16, over 50 artists from around the world will gather in Shanghai for the music festival. Urban-folk artist Li Jian will take the stage Saturday (he sells out concerts on his own), followed by the man behind Despacito' and 'Dura,' Daddy Yankee on Sunday. Rumor has it a third of his crew is made up of backup dancers. Yeah. It's gonna be a time.
The real excitement lies in the body of the line-up. Many of the festival’s previous acts like Bohan Phoenix, DIIV, HEALTH and The Cribs have gone on to impressive levels of acclaim, and it’s safe to say that this year’s roster follows in line.
Up and coming (t)rapper Rico Nasty is rolling up with her vicious lyrics, Oneohtrix Point Never will be making their China debut, and Kikagaku Moyo is rocking in from Japan, sitar in tow. Slowdive are another big name, adding some shoegazey feels to the setlist. American Authors, Rosie Thomas, YBN Nahmir, The Garden, Prosumer, Anna Haleta and Asusu round out the international names released earlier this week. From our corner of the planet we've got Chet Lam, 王乐队, 戏班乐队, Jiaming, Mr. Ho, Illsee, Knopha, HWA aka Elvis.T and Dada resident DJs Come Correct Crew.
This year's looking to be another winner from the Split Works team with dozens of artists to look forward to, and if you're already sold you can buy your tickets here. You can also check out the full lineup here.
