Music festival goes green at local plaza
The 2020 DaNing Music Festival will kick off at Life Hub@Daning Plaza in Jing’an District this weekend.
With the theme of “Go Green, Keep Energetic,” this year’s festival features an innovative and environment-friendly opening show on Saturday, which sees the Shanghai-based U Bang Percussion Group using kitchen tools and recycled wooden sticks to perform a song during their set.
The artists are promoting the idea that urban garbage can be decreased if citizens use their imagination and make full use of household items.
