New lineup. New sound. All-new setlists. After 15 years as one of China’s most distinctive post-rock voices, Amber returns with their boldest tour yet—15 shows across the country, each one different, each one a step forward.
The biggest highlight: the return of founding guitarist Yan Shuai, bringing a five-piece Amber lineup with three guitars and synthesizer, unlocking new layers of sound. Each night also features an exclusive opening set (20–40 minutes) from his solo project Salty Mountain—an immersive blend of ambient textures, live sampling, and improvisation. No two performances are the same.
Amber’s 2025 tour is not a repetition—it’s a reinvention. Expect signature tracks reimagined, powerful new compositions shifting between warmth and isolation, and a sound that feels both sharper and more expansive. Whether you’re a longtime listener or new to the band, there’s something to discover.
Formed in 2010 in Xi’an, Amber is known for their elegant yet emotional sound—where shimmering melodies meet intricate guitar work and subtle electronics. Their acclaimed albums Drunk Star, Tide Of Soul, and Boundary Of Time have left a lasting mark on China’s independent music scene.
Amber’s music exists in rare space—where clarity meets chaos, and cool distance blends with deep feeling. The 2025 tour is their first after an intense 18-month rehearsal break, and they’re not looking back.
“Like Off The String—never to return.”
Come and witness a band transformed.
