Sugar, we’re goin down to the Cadillac Arena to dance, dance to Fall Out Boy. Known as the soundtrack to your emo phase in high school, Fall Out Boy are bringing their pop-punk-rock sound to Beijing for the first time. Achieving their breakthrough in 2005, their album From Under the Cork Tree gave us the hit singles ‘Sugar We’re Goin Down’ and ‘Dance, Dance.’ Known for their high-energy performances as well as their hits, the four-piece reformed after a hiatus in 2013 and recently released their seventh studio album, Mania. The 2018 release was their fourth No. 1 album. 

Mon May 7, 8pm; RMB 380-1,280; Cadillac Arena, see event listing. Buy tickets here.

May 8: Warbly Jets

May 12: Rosé Beach Party

Spring is rosé season (the best season?) and Sureno is celebrating with a party at its beautiful sunken terrace in Taikoo Li North. Your ticket will get you access to free-flow pink stuff – plus rosé sangria and canapés. There is no better way to honor the moderate May weather than, well, drinking. 

Sat May 12, 3-6pm; RMB258/person; Sureno, see event listing.

May 12: The Beijing Flea Market Spring Edition

One of Beijing’s best markets is back for spring – and with a new location to boot. The popular market has all the best Beijing-made and designed vintage clothes and products. A great spot to pick up a gift or find a hidden treasure. 

Sat May 12; TechTemple Sanlitun, see event listing.

May 13: Jewelry Workshop

Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to do something with your kid, or just yourself. And if it involves mastering Suzhou-style embroidery techniques, we think it’s worth it. Check out this bilingual workshop, where you can create a bracelet with the materials provided or make something new with an old charm. 

Sun May 13, 2-4pm; RMB358, RMB298 (advance), price for one parent and one child; Red Dog, see event listing.

May 13: Yoga in the Park

Spring is here, and what better way to enjoy it than an outdoors yoga session, held by the consummate instructor Taozi laoshi. After exercising your mind and body, reward yourself with brunch at Moka Bros (discounted for yoga practitioners). Lets hope the weather keeps looking good (the event will be cancelled if the AQI is above 200 or if it rains). 

Sundays through Sep 18, 9.30-11am; RMB50; Chaoyang Park, see event listing.
