The trendy J-pop group consists of KOM_I, Kenmochi Hidefumi and Dir.F, who are longtime friends and collaborators. Their bold, electric hits playfully push the boundaries of bubblegum pop and are dangerously danceable. From their first club gig together in Tokyo to landing slots at festivals overseas – such as Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in Los Angeles last year – Wednesday Campanella is well on the way to becoming an international sensation. Their China tour includes stops in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai. 

Fri Oct 19, 8.30pm; RMB300 (advance), RMB360 (door); Tango, see event listing. Buy tickets here.
