Obstacles for Ultra China: rumors swirl of Shanghai cancellation, Beijing re-scheduling

Ultra Shanghai is set to debut on September 8, across two days. However, a lineup announcement or any updates from the brand have yet to arrive with just weeks left until its supposed launch date. Puzzled fans have been wondering aloud what is going on, and if the festival is set to proceed, and it seems an answer is brewing: per a Redditor with access to China’s Weibo network (their Facebook equivalent), comments on the event’s page there point to a definite cancellation.

Troubles for Ultra’s China arm don’t end there. Per the same Reddit post, Ultra Beijing is also being postponed — this would be the second time this rendition of Ultra has been pushed back, the first being in June. Hopefully, this is all just hearsay among Chinese fans, as there have been no official announcements from the brand itself regarding these rumors.

If Ultra China is meeting its demise — a possibility for sure given the country’s conservative environment — fans would be missing out an a variety of top DJ talent including DJ Snake, The Chainsmokers, Coyu, and more. Only time will tell if these rumors are substantiated or not.
