More than a decade after her small-scale Beijing concert in 1996, Bjork will return to China with her new album Volta.

The Icelandic pop star will hold a concert in Shanghai's International Gymnastics Center on March 2. Her all-female brass band will also join the show, the local media reported.

Ticket booking information is already available on China's ticketing Web sites. Prices range from 300 to 1,600 yuan, or about 40 to 210 US dollars.

The concert organizer revealed on Wednesday that Chinese pop queen Faye Wong, a longtime devoted fan of Bjork, has sought information about the concert.

Media reports have also said that two other big names in music will perform at the same venue in March: Grammy nominated singer Harry Connick Jr., on March 9; and U.S. pop rock band Maroon 5, on March 22.
