Themed 'Endless Summer of Music,' the event brings together nine French and Chinese bands for a weekend of open-air performances, immersive experiences, and cultural exchange.
On the lineup are French bands Lize, BRÖ, and ATOEM, known for their pop, house, folk, and experimental sounds, while Chinese bands such as Liang Zheng & Shang Neng Fan (梁正&尚能饭), YuFeiMen+ (与非门乐队), Qiulin (秋林) from Qiulin Hakka Band, MOONBAND (闷饼乐队), Drifting Street (漂流街乐队), and Tiu Dung Woo (跳东湖乐队) will showcase a mix of rock, indie, and local flavor.
The concerts are free and open to the public, offering a relaxed festival atmosphere in one of Shunde’s most vibrant nighttime destinations.
In addition to the live music, the festival will host over 30 food and lifestyle booths featuring creative street eats, local crafts, and cultural displays.
Inside the shopping mall, a public piano will be available for spontaneous performances, while a social media campaign—'Travel Shunde with the Band'—will follow musicians as they explore the city’s unique food and culture.
At the same time, the newly opened OCT Harbour PLUS Weekend Campground begins its 13-week summer program.
Situated at the convergence of OCT Harbour PLUS and Shunfengshan Park, the waterfront site introduces a new weekend gathering spot for locals and visitors alike.
Every weekend from now until August 31, the campground will offer:
Open Bar and Dining Zone: Operating Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 9pm.
Water Sports Area: Paddleboards, dragon boats, and glass-bottom boats available from 9.30am–12pm and 3pm–7.30pm.
Themed Events: From Stephen Chow film screenings during the Dragon Boat Festival to live bands like Trulylove and Funnychoirs, plus starlit choir parties under the open sky.
Adding to the excitement, 12 local restaurants have created limited-time French-Chinese fusion menus in celebration of the music festival.
Dishes like foie gras soup with fish, black truffle zucchini, and cheese-infused hotdogs reflect Shunde’s inventive culinary spirit and global outlook.
With live music, riverside relaxation, and a strong dose of food and culture, Shunde’s Fête de la Musique 2025 promises to be a highlight of the summer—one that invites audiences to celebrate creativity by the water’s edge.
