Livehouse finds new life

Shanghai

The city's most popular and active concert venue, Mao Livehouse, has moved to Luwan district in the heart of the city, and it's celebrating its reopening in a much larger space that is just as chic.

Since it opened in Sept 2009 at Red Town in Xuhui, Mao Livehouse has created its own niche among the countless bars and nightclubs in a town often dubbed a "cultural desert". It created almost instant impact with its top sound systems for live music.
