Synopsis

Known for their cathartic live shows featuring their massive polyphonic yet delicately arranged music, Chinese post-rock giants WANGWEN make a return to Singapore after almost a decade for a glorious night of instrumental splendour.

Founded in 1999 in Dalian, China, WANGWEN is often mentioned in the same breath as post-rock icons such as Mogwai, Tortoise and Mono, and has been the standard bearers of Chinese post-rock for over two decades. Together, the six members—guitarists Xie Yugang and Geng Xin, bassist Xu Zengzheng, drummer Zhou Lianjiang, keyboardist Zhang Yanfeng, and trumpet and baritone player Huang Kai—have released 12 studio albums, the most recent being the live collection All Yesterday’s Parties to commemorate the band's 25th anniversary.

WANGWEN has toured their brand of melancholic beauty and intense live shows to venues across Asia and Europe, and now they come to Singapore once again for another unforgettable show.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when a performance is cancelled or postponed?

When a show is cancelled, ticket buyers will be duly notified by the event organiser primarily via email. You may also be notified through the event organiser's authorised ticketing agent, media or any other applicable communication channels. Information will be provided on where and when you can get your refund. For postponed performances for which the date of the new performance is known, refunds are optional.

For free programmes, any cancellations or postponements will be updated on the event website and/or relevant official communication channels. As no tickets are issued, refunds do not apply.

What happens if it rains during the event?

Can I take photos or record a video during a performance?

For indoor performances, photography and video recording are generally not allowed during the show unless stated otherwise by the promoters or artists.

For performances at public spaces, such as those at the Concourse and DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre, photography and casual video recording are generally allowed for personal use. Please be mindful not to use flash, obstruct others, or disrupt the performance. Some programmes may still restrict recording based on artist requirements, so please follow on-site announcements or staff instructions.

Can I eat or drink during the show?

Generally, food and drinks are not permitted inside the venue. It depends on the venue as well. For some shows, you may bring food and drinks purchased at the foyer bars at the Concert Hall or Theatre into the venues. For shows at the Annexe Studio, where there is a bar in the venue, eating or drinking is no issue.

For outdoor programmes, food and drinks are typically allowed unless otherwise stated. However, we encourage audiences to be mindful of the performance environment and dispose of waste responsibly. Restrictions may apply depending on the specific event setup, so please refer to the event listing for details.
