Beijing rock band Escape Plan will perform at the Shenzhen Concert Hall in June.

    Escape Plan was formed in 2007 when they took on a new bass player and then signed to BeautyLife Co. In the beginning, their style was based on British pop, but later it turned towards indie pop with electro, new wave and post-punk elements.

    In 2008, their song “We Get Married in 2008” was chosen to be the theme song of that year’s Midi Festival. The debut EP “Take Me Away” was released Aug. 8, 2008 and achieved remarkable sales.

    In 2012, Escape Plan released their debut album, called “The World,” and won best rock band, best rock album, best rock music and best male rock musician during the 4th Midi Awards Ceremony. In a recent interview, the band said, “The meaning behind the album name is that in the world we presently live in, we do not have enough time to see through obstacles. We need to embrace love, sunshine and life in such a busy world.”

    In recent years, Escape Plan has been a frequent guest band at the Midi Festival, Strawberry Music Festival, Zhangbei Grasslands Music Festival and they were invited to Summer Sonic in 2011, the largest music festival in Japan.
