The Bund hosts the Super Bund Music Carnival in Shanghai from 19 to 25 October 2026, bringing a seven-day music programme to the historic waterfront district. The main-stage performances at the Bund begin on 23 October and continue until 25 October.
Super Bund Music Carnival brings seven days to The Bund
The festival is scheduled across Yuanmingyuan Road pedestrian street in the Bund area and 103 South Suzhou Road. The programme is arranged around three performance areas: the main stage, the 103 stage and a carnival stage.
The wider event runs from 19 to 25 October, while the currently listed main-stage dates are 23 to 25 October. The main-stage venue is the Yuanmingyuan Road pedestrian street section between South Suzhou Road and Beijing East Road, as shown in the main-stage dates and venue.
The published schedule lists separate sessions on 23, 24 and 25 October. The event information identifies the main-stage programme as a standing presentation and requires an electronic ticket for entry.
Music stages meet The Bund historic waterfront
The location links the festival to one of Shanghai's best-known historic urban landscapes. The Bund stretches along the Huangpu River and combines public waterfront space with historic buildings, while nearby cultural venues also form part of the district's current arts programme.
That setting gives the carnival a specific spatial character. Rather than taking place in an isolated arena, the listed stages occupy streets and buildings within the Bund area, with the main stage positioned on a pedestrian street. The official Shanghai government event guide also describes the Bund as a setting of historic buildings and public spaces along the river.
The music carnival is therefore tied to the district through both its venue and its route through the surrounding streets. Its seven-day span also extends beyond the three main-stage dates, giving the programme a broader footprint than the headline performances alone.
Three stages define the October programme
The published event notice describes a city music carnival rather than a single concert. Its three-stage structure covers the main stage, the 103 stage and the carnival stage, with performances distributed across the Bund area.
The programme information identifies jazz and electronic music among the styles presented. The event listing also names Yuanmingyuan Road pedestrian street as the main setting, while the 103 stage is associated with the address at 103 South Suzhou Road. These details place the activity within the historic district rather than at a distant suburban venue.
A local event guide gives the overall dates as 19 to 25 October and identifies the Yuanmingyuan Road pedestrian street and 103 South Suzhou Road as the festival locations. Its seven-day programme details also distinguish the main-stage and carnival-stage activity from the rest of the schedule.
