Every Thursday, the Beijing Weekender distills City Weekend's database of nightlife events down to the weekend parties, concerts and live shows that you simply can't miss.

FRIDAY

And we're back! Rock and roll has returned to the city, along with everyone else kicking it up a notch now that we've eaten our tangyuan and lit off the last of our fireworks. Start your Friday evening off with one of the two Swedish acts going on this weekend, post-rock group Immanu El, playing at MAO Live House. Afterwards, get yourself to Sanlitun for The Bar Opening feat. Funk Fever at The Bar at Migas (yes, the name is very descriptive). They've taken their rooftop parties inside for the last of the winter weather, so it should be cool to see what they've got going on. Plus, the Funk Fever crew are just fun no matter where they're playing. And for a very dragon-themed night, check out Marco Bailey at Lantern Club, where it's free entry for anyone with a dragon tattoo. Wonder if temporary tats count...

SATURDAY

It's set out to be a legendary Saturday night. Sweden continues to take over the rock scene this weekend, with metal legends Opeth playing Tango 3/F. And rock legend Jorma Kaukonen (previously of Jefferson Airplane) takes Yugong Yishan for a trip through his more mellow blues sound. But if you're hankering for some psychedelic sounds, GoaProductions is hosting Psyfidelity at Mako Live House, with two rooms of psytrance, one for dancing and one for resting your heels.

SUNDAY

As usual, the end of the week is a quiet one, but if you want to rock it out with the ladies, check out MAO Live House's Women Subvert Rock Night, which is hosting a lineup of women-fronted bands from all across the genre spectrum.
