The May Day holiday (International Worker's Day, whatever) this weekend means an explosion of music festivals around China. Two of them are close by if you fancy a road trip: The Strawberry Music Festival in Suzhou and the Nanjing International Music Festival, where you can catch big names like Carsick Cars and SUBS (if you missed them in Shanghai.) If not, stick around Shanghai and catch excellent Japanese post-rockers MONO, and plenty of other local rock happening around town. Read on for highlights, or check out our calendar for more! more ›
