Two decades have passed since Cui Jian's last solo show in Shanghai. Now, the Beijing-based rock veteran has announced that he will make his return on Christmas Eve.

Cui arrived in Shanghai on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 to promote his show, which will be held at the Shanghai Grand Stage.

The 51-year-old, who blazed a trail for Chinese rock music with his 1986 hit "Nothing to My Name", says he isn't looking for a retrospective show this time. Instead, he wants to attract young audiences as much as those who grew up listening to him.

The set list will include a mix of Cui's old hits and new songs. He will also perform songs from his upcoming album.

Tickets to the show are being sold at 180-880 yuan (about US$29-141).
