British indie rock band The Vaccines play their debut album in full for its 15th anniversary.
The band are performing the whole of What Did You Expect from The Vaccines?, released in 2011 and home to If You Wanna and Post Break-Up Sex, plus fan favourites and selections from across their six studio albums — Come of Age (2012), English Graffiti (2015), Combat Sports (2018), Back in Love City (2021) and Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations (2024). The current line-up is Justin Hayward-Young (vocals and guitar), Arni Arnason (bass), Timothy Lanham (guitar and keyboards) and Yoann Intonti (drums).
The listing gives the slot as 8-10pm and the duration as 90 minutes. It does not say when doors open, whether there is a support act, or what time the band are due on stage.
Tickets are 328-368rmb, listed as official tickets authorised by Modern Sky and sold at the same price as the venue and local sites. The purchase flow starts with a date and ticket selection on the event page, after which you are asked to scan a code to continue on your phone — either in the SmartShanghai app or in WeChat. The seller advertises English-language support and gives ticketing@smartshanghai.com as a contact, along with a WeChat support code.
That is the whole of what has been published on access. Nothing has been announced about whether a Chinese mobile number or a WeChat account is required to complete a purchase, whether real-name registration or ID matching applies at the door, or which payment methods work for a foreign card. A minimum age has not been published, nor has the language of any on-stage or on-site announcements, nor any accessibility information — all three are left blank in the listing. If any of these matter to you, ask the ticketing address before you rely on turning up.
VAS est is on the third floor of Building 3, 2266 Longteng Da Dao, near Longwen Lu, in Xuhui District (龙腾大道2266号3号楼3层, 近龙文路). The listing places it 11 minutes from Longyao Road station, without saying by what mode of travel. The event page offers a taxi printout of the address and links to both Google Maps and Gaode Maps.
The tour also plays Hangzhou on Thursday 24 September, at LiveShop Uni 由你现场, Shop 02, Building 2, Wulin Star Expo Center, Gongshu District (浙江省杭州市拱墅区武林之星博览中心2号厂房02商铺). That date is ticketed separately through its own listing; prices and access details for it have not been published here.
This entry was compiled automatically from the organiser's own page and every date in it was checked back against that page before publishing. Nobody from our team has been to this one, and we have not called the organisers — where they have not published something, this page says so rather than filling the gap.
Status: region not stated in text (Shanghai's province/region field left null); name_zh absent — only the venue address has Chinese. Organizer inferred from 'Official tickets authorized by Modern Sky'; Modern Sky may be the ticketing authorizer rather than organizer. Text also lists a Hangzhou date (24 Sep) at LiveShop Uni 由你现场, not captured here since this record is the Shanghai show. Price 328-368rmb, 8-10pm, 90mins duration; Language, Age, Accessability listed as '-' in source.
