Yue Festival will host a stellar line up in Zhongshan Park on Friday Oct 5, 2007, that will include the soul funk of Ozomatli, the sclerotic rhyme of one of the US’s foremost rappers, Talib Kweli, alongside some of the most exciting Chinese music around. It will all be rounded off by arguably the biggest band in dance music ever, Faithless.

Shanghai will be the final date in a gruelling world tour for Faithless, who have played to over million people in the last six months. From Global Gathering to Sziget in Hungary, off the back of an amazing US tour, Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and the rest of their 8-piece band cannot wait to destroy Shanghai with their sonic and lighting assault.

Talib Kweli will be coming to China on the back of his sixth studio album, Eardrum. Approaching legendary status in the hip hop community, he has come a long way since Blackstar, the group he shared with Mos Def. 

Kweli will be joined by the double Grammy winning "best live act in the world" (TimeOut Magazine) Ozomatli. This 9 piece from Los Angeles create uniqueness from a combination of hip hop, Latin, funk and soul. If you haven’t seen Ozo live, then you cannot miss this opportunity.

There is also a group of excellent bands will perform in this festival including SuperVC, Hedgehog, IZ, MC(Kirby Lee), Dragon Tongue, Banana Monkey, Bananas Soundsystem. And Zhongshan Park will present an idyllic backdrop to what promises to be the musical event of the summer. A summer music world is waiting for you!
