The club scene is merry this Christmas weekend and parties feature bagpipes and kilts, lots of hip-hop, red red red, and live Chinese folk rock. Try Arena Club & House, Level 2, 4 Live and many more.

Arena Club & House will throw a Scottish Kilt Party tomorrow night and give presents to those wearing Scottish plaids. The night at Arena will kick off with Barry Gray, founder of the electronic bagpipe group Orange Boy from Scotland.

After the finest mix of traditional Scottish bagpipes with electronic beats, DJ D'Mond from Portugal will bring you dance sound with Electro and Old School beats.

DJ D'Mond started as a DJ in the early 90s and now flies between Asia and Europe. He has played in several venues in Shanghai and drives the crowds wild.

If you are a bit shy about dancing, you can sit back and just enjoy stilt and cosplay shows from Orange Productions. Cosplay characters are easy for them, whether monstrous insects or sexy goddesses.

Arena will have a little of everything tomorrow night.

If you are a solid hip-hop lover and only want hip-hop for the night, Level 2 is the place to go. The newly opened home of hip-hop will feature DJ Mik Martinez from Filliping alongside DJ Marshall from Shanghai. All the latest hip-hop hits will fill the space.

For Christmas Saturday, Level 2 will be all in red - red club, red drinks, red lights, red night, and special drinks for those wearing red.

If you want a bit of Chinese flavor this Christmas weekend, the Chinese folk rock band Second Hand Rose will rock Shanghai's new live music venue, 4 Live.

With distinctive influences of traditional Chinese folk music, Second Hand Rose is known for combining traditional musical elements with solid rock'n'roll fundamentals.

Merry Christmas, now is your chance to choose.
