After many years of flirtation, Beijing’s Midi Festival finally has a Shanghai sibling.  The Radar got wind of this from organiser Nathan Michael a couple of weeks ago, but was sworn to secrecy.  However, the creation of a Facebook group suggests that the news is now out in the open…

Midi Shanghai will take place in the Shanghai Sculpture Space over 2 days (May 1-2).  According to the blurb, it will be multiple stages playing host to 40+ bands and loads more DJs etc.  What isn’t clear is whether the event will mirror Midi’s DIY ethic and somewhat random cross section of bands.  Whatever happens, another festival must be a good thing for the music scene in Shanghai, and Midi is the greatest institution of all.  We are looking forward to this one!
