Ahead of this year's traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, China Central Television has unveiled the setlist for its annual gala concert marking the holiday.
A star-studded lineup is in store for this year's show, featuring popular singers and musicians of all generations.
Some notable names include Taiwan musical legend Qi Qin, mainland singers Mao A Min, Sun Nan, Han Lei and Zhang Jie. Boy band TFBOYS and rock band Tang Dynasty are also set to grace the stage.
The 26 songs on the setlist also cover a wide range of genres, from pop classics, to revolutionary-era songs and even Peking Opera.
The show will take place at the Zi Yun Lou Square in northwestern China's Xi'an, with the backdrop of Tang Dynasty style buildings and a stage built on a lake, resembling a Chinese scroll-painting.
The show's producers say they will use lighting and other technologies to bring about stunning visual effects for the audience.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Mooncake Festival, falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, celebrating the togetherness of families. CCTV will air the concert at 8 pm Beijing time Thursday, September 15th, which marks this year's festival, both on CCTV 1 and CCTV 4 to serve domestic and international viewers.
