Right then, here we go.

2017’s Republic of ‘Grass is now a Concrete Reality, created for wide exploration, deep discovery and pure enjoyment.

The full lineup – 60+artists, 5 stages, 2 days – is out below, and
regular advance tickets are on sale now via
Damai, SmartTicket and 24/7 Tickets.

You can see (and hear) our epic headliners from far, far away but we encourage you to dig in a little further, to uncover our many hidden treasures and strange pleasures.

While you’re at it, take a leisurely stroll through genres unknown: put Cero, KeroKero and MC Pharaoh on shuffle together. Come for the Great Glaspy, stay for the Glorious Pharmacy. If you’re Thurston for Moore, DIIV into some DeathstarrDeathrays. If the Spector of ho99o9 is bringing you downy, take a GacharicSpin on yourCarsick Motorama through some fields of Endless White!

Okay, okay, we’ll stop now. Here’s the lineup:

Music is Just the Beginning

As ‘Grass fans know too well, there’s plenty of action beyond the stages.

We have outsider art and freewheeling installations, as well as the gourmet food paradise that is Duck Bites Goose (expect some old friends there!). There’ll also be craft cocktails from the dark side, objects of wonder and delight, sports, games, bad puns, Frisbee, ice cream and a few other surprises we’ve thrown in.

Or in-person at Uptown Records n Beer (永福路131号), Mao Livehouse (重庆南路308号3楼) or the Split Works office (复兴西路100号2A).

Concrete & Grassis China’s grooviest music festival. It happens in September each year when the weather is warm and frequently perfect.It’s Shanghai’s own #APlaceLessOrdinary chock-full of great bands, weird art, strange creatures and fun distractions. Our venue, the wonderful Shanghai Rugby Football Club, is a lovingly intimate space with lush fields of real grass. We started in 2015 as Echo Park, with Gerard Way, Young Fathers, Swim Deep, Nova Heart and Sound Toy on the bill. 2016 saw Edison Chen, Sekai No Owari, A$ApFerg, The Cribs and Yunggie Ma. 2017’s looking pretty ace.
