THE Shanghai West Bank Music Festival 2012 will take place at Xuhui Riverside Area from September 30 to October 2.
The lineup includes musicians from the US, Europe, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland. Highlights include rockers Kusturica, the No Smoking Orchestra, French classical instrumentalist Yann Tiersen and American singer/songwriter Michael Bolton, who may even bust out the "Ballad of Captain Jack Sparrow."
The Xuhui Riverside Area stretches for 8.4 kilometers and is the longest of its kind in the city. It starts on Longrui Road and runs all the way to Fenglin Road.
