No superstars. No tickets. Everyone can sing on the stage. Different from regular concerts, roadside concerts in Guiyang, capital city of southwest China’s Guizhou Province, allow people to immerse (使沉浸) themselves in music. Despite the cold weather, the roadside concerts in Guiyang still attract a lot of tourists and local people to watch performances on busy streets and in tourist attractions.

On the eve of a big concert, some music lovers from across the province gathered in advance and sang songs in an underground passageway of the city’s Guanshanhu District. Without tickets or fences (围栏), young people held hands together, singing and dancing. Videos showing their relaxing and cheerful performances quickly became popular after being posted on social media.

“We were pleasing ourselves and didn’t expect to become the hot topic,” said Yang Zhi, who started the show and was the lead singer of the local band “Zhe Er Gen”. “Guiyang has a good vibe (氛围) for music, and many bands enjoy street performances. This is a tradition that has been passed on for many years,” Yang added.

On a weekend evening in May 2018, several blind music lovers held a concert in Yunyan District. “More than 300 people came at that time, which was a busy and exciting scene,” recalled Chen Changhai, drummer of the band. Since then, the band “Zhe Er Gen” was founded and roadside performances became popular.

Up till now, more than 20 concerts have been held at Wenchang Pavilion, attracting nearly 40,000 spectators and about 37 million online viewers.
