Upcoming: Sound of the Xity (27.04-28.04)

Well this is some bad news. After last week’s boobgate scandal which put one of Beijing’s hottest venues on the naughty list, the Sound of the Xity festival, a multi-day, multi-venue annual festival bridging bands from aboard and here, has taken quite the hit and has been forced to consolidate all their shows (which were supposed to go down at Yugong Yishan, School Bar, Modernsky Lab, and DDC) into two days at Tango. From the organizers:

由于一些未预见的问题，“影响城市之声”组委会不得不对活动作出如下调整：

Due to some unexpected problems, SOTX Committee has to make these adjustments as below :

所有在“影响”演出参加直通车专场的中国乐队转移至“糖果三层音乐厅”，于4月27、28日两天，每天下午3点－11:30，进行演出。其余乐队只保留在“2016超级草莓中信国安第一城（香河）” 及“2016超级草莓·上海世博园”的“影响星球舞台”与“爱舞台”的演出。

论坛改变议题部分日程。

All shows of Chinese artists who was in \”Bridge to\”shows will be transferred to Tango 3rd Floor 3PM-11:30pm 27,28 April. The rest of bands will only perform at SOTX Planet Stage and Love Stage of Strawberry Muisc Festival(Xianghe and Shanghai).

While CONFERENCE has some slightly change of topic schedule.

对于受到这些调整影响的海外乐队、国内乐队、相关机构们以及那些为了看“影响”而安排自己行程的乐迷们，还有一直以来溺爱“影响”的朋友们，深表歉意。

To all foreign bands and Chinese bands and institutions involved, and fans who scheduled to see SOTX, and all our friends who has given too much love to SOTX, we would like express our sorry.
