Virgin Suicide China Tour 2018 in Beijing Date: Nov 22 — 8:30 pm

Venue: Omni Space

The boys met at school in the town of Silkeborg, in western Denmark, before they relocated to Copenhagen and formed Virgin Suicide in 2012. Sporting matching normcore haircuts and turtleneck­s, the band sings us the sweet finger banging lullaby of teenage playground love. The sunshine and palm trees are a perfect backdrop for the upbeat tune which has roots in 1960s rock with a touch of that slick attitude of 80s Brit jangle pop. Since the debut release of Virgin Suicide in 2015, the band has been invited to play various concerts and festivals, including the famous Roskilde Music Festival which gained them huge internatio­nal attention. The singles Twistor Space and You Hate The Way I Feel received great success on Radio in Denmark and the UK, and both songs were later included in the band’s second album Forever Trouble. If there is one word to try to summarize Virgin Suicide’s music, it must be “sweet”. Scorpions — Crazy World Tour in Beijing

Date: Nov 17 — 8 pm

Venue: Beijing Olympic Center Stadium

German hard rock and heavy metal act Scorpions comes to Olympic Stadium on Nov 17. Together since 1965, the group has released 18 studio albums, 27 compilatio­n albums, 74 singles and has six number one hits. These “heroes of heavy metal” are now contemplat­ing a brand-new studio album. Four Tet Date: Nov 17 — 9 pm

Venue: Omni Space, Beijing Boundary-pushing British electronic­a star Four Tet will grace the stage at Omni Space for what is sure to be one of the hottest gigs of the fall season. His recently released ninth full length long play, New Energy, garnered some of his most enthused reviews yet, with critics calling it a return to form that also pushed his sound forward. Exclaim! magazine, for instance, praised the album’s “sonic palettes … that bleed into textures born from transfigur­ed field recordings and sonic artifacts that epitomize the producer’s discograph­y while refining his sonic identity.”
