Tickets to Jews in Shanghai

Die Zauberflote

Tickets to Bon Jovi
It takes a lot of cajones to sing, “I’ve seen a million faces and I’ve rocked them all,” every night, but if anything, Jon Bon Jovi might be underselling himself. In a career that spans over 30 years, Bon Jovi has had chart topping albums in four different decades, sold over 130 million records worldwide and performed some 2,900 concerts in more than 50 countries. He and his band were the first Western group officially allowed to perform in the Soviet Union, and their September 14 concert at Mercedes-Benz Arena will be the first time Mainland fans will be able to sing along to hits from ‘Livin on a Prayer’ to ‘It’s My Life’ live. Oh, and over the last five years, they have been named the top touring act in the world four times, with 2.6 million tickets sold in 2013 during their last world tour. The New Jersey group may just be hitting its stride. We're giving away a pair of tickets on WeChat. For your chance to win, add Thats_Shanghai or scan the QR code.
// Sep 14, 8pm, RMB480-3,380. Mercedes-Benz Arena, tickets.
Tickets to Muse

Stadium rock is a dying art but this ambitious British trio have been thrilling crowds for nearly 20 years. The two-time Brit Award winners for ‘Best British Live Act’ routinely headline major festivals from Glastonbury to Coachella. Their last world tour featured a gigantic pyramid of LED screens, cannons shooting Muse-themed banknotes into the crowd, acrobats and a lot of lasers. Two months ago they released the concept album Drones, which became their fifth straight disc to top the UK charts and their first US Number One album. With its heady look at the dehumanization of war, expect their Drones world tour to be spectacular. We're giving away a pair of tickets on WeChat.

// Sep 21, 8pm, RMB360-1,280. Mercedes-Benz Arena, tickets.
