That's PRD takes a look at the best live music performances happening this weekend in Shenzhen:
Fri, Apr 27: Maximilian Hecker at Nanshan Culture and Sports Center
The German singer returns to Shenzhen, delivering airy and poetic pop that’s been compared to Radiohead, Sigur Ros, The Verve and Nick Drake. Since his 2001 debut with Infinite Love Songs, the Berlin-born artist has become an East Asian favorite, with 15 concerts across the region to the melancholy delight of his many fans. Catch him on his 15-city tour of China before he drowns in his own sea of silence.
Apr 27, 8pm; RMB100-380. Nanshan Cultural and Sports Center. See event listing. Tickets.
Sat, Apr 28: Show Lo at Shenzhen Bay Sports Center
Show Lo – “Asia’s Dance King,” according to Taiwanese media – brings his skills to the Shenzhen stage for a blow-out performance. Now just as famous for his charity as for his moves, Show has won fans across the Chinese-speaking world. Come see what all the fuss is about.
Apr 28, 8pm; RMB 280-1,280. Shenzhen Bay Sports Center. See event listing. Tickets.
Sat, Apr 28: South Penguin at B10 Live
In 2016, South Penguin was invited to play at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival, and it's not hard to see why – while sticking to the classic vocals-guitar-bass-keyboard combo, the group also teases with elements of pop and funk. The resulting sound is a smooth, foot-tapping mesh of genres that's both infectious and interesting.
Apr 28, 8.30pm; RMB130 presale, RMB150 door. B10 Live. Tickets.
Sat, Apr 28: Mala at Oil Club
Mala, described in promotional materials as 'the original dubstep lord,' boasts an influential history as producer, DJ and label head. He's backed up by Saiyan – a Hong Kong and Macau-based artist who spins jungle, drum 'n' bass and dub – as well as event brand founder and local DJ Daniel Power.
Apr 28, 10pm; RMB80 presale, RMB100 door. Oil Club. See event listing.
Sun, Apr 29: Warbly Jets at Brown Sugar Jar (Shekou)
