The Beijing-based band played six songs, including fan favorites "Do You Want to Dance" and "Sad Punk," before an enthusiastic audience, as part of the evening's "Universal Cool Summer Show."

The concert blended resort entertainment with music festival energy, according to resort officials, describing the performance as part of their strategy to create innovative visitor experiences.

Universal Beijing Resort's signature seasonal campaign "Universal Cool Summer" runs from June 13 to Aug. 17 and features multiple time-limited experiences.

The "Universal Cool Summer Show" takes place daily on the Hollywood Amphitheatre stage and features performances by characters from "Transformers," "Kung Fu Panda," "Minions," "Madagascar" and "Shrek," accompanied by water mist effects and synchronized lighting.
