Hello September! As if signaling the end of August, this weekend isn't the most jam-packed ever, but Shanghai will always have (some) events up its sleeves. On the music end, you can catch Joy Division's Peter Hook at Shelter (more info in our Midweek Music Preview. Or there's the hotshot DJ Jacques Dumas at Zeal, parties with themes ranging from hippies to jet setters, and another great BEAN event with the kids!

There's something for almost everyone this weekend! As always, what's a weekend without the usual parties galore? The TICT rooftop party is bound to be one of the hottest parties in town. Music fans, delight yourself with the sounds of Afrosonic Orchestra, oh and that English guy, James Blunt, is also in town! If you're a sports enthusiast, you can still catch the Nike Festival of Sport, as well as cricket with the Hong Kong Cricket Club. For foodies, there's an "all you can eat" barbecue, and for the families, there's a fun day at the beach in store. And if that's still not enough, head over to our calendar for more. more ›

Ah, another weekend of relaxation, filled with so much to do! In case you were still in the woods, The Zebra Music Festival is back on! If by some miracle the weather clears, consider it an excuse to drag yourself to the beach, wear flip flops and soak in the sun. But if the beach isn't your thing, we've got multiple parties (among other indoor ongoings) to fill your time! Most importantly, of course, this weekend we've got a little something we are calling Shanghaiist Sexy Saturday! It's a party, it's more or less sexy and, well, it's on Saturday. And if that's still not enough, head over to our calendar for more! more ›

First, there was Mint, then Drop, and now Prive has landed in Shanghai. Whoa, for a second there, I thought I was in Lan Kwai Fong. As expected, huge crowds descended on the Bund for the opening of the club, exacerbated by confused and dare we say it, several incompetent door staff. But once you shoved your way through the traffic jams at the elevators, it was a very decent party with all the right elements. more ›

A friend caught this ad in a recent issue of City Weekend. Apparently a new club, named Obama Entertainment Club will be opening its doors on April 26th. Is it a late April Fools joke? Who knows! They have a website, but it's still under construction. more ›

UPDATE: sometimes-contributor Sam Jacobs wrote in to tell us exactly what was up with the Electrograss festival: more ›

With dodgy versions of Photoshop available from every fake market, DVD shop and noodle stall in the city, it takes more than a few flashy images to make your club flyer stand out from the crowd. more ›
