US pop singer Bruno Mars staged a concert at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center on Tuesday. The 20,000 tickets of the show, which was part of Mars’ “24K Magic World Tour,” were sold out over half a year ago. The Grammy-winning artist had his first Taipei concert at the same venue in 2014.
Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung, dubbed the “God of Songs,” is also bringing his “A Classic Tour” back to the Taipei Arena starting today, adding six shows over this and next weekend. Cheung caused a sensation when he performed in Taipei last year. Tens of thousands of fans are looking forward to the additional shows with eager anticipation.
Meanwhile, Japanese R&B diva Misia recently announced that, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her debut, she is holding a concert at the Taipei International Convention Center in June. Misia also visited Taipei earlier in October last year to participate in the “Taiwan LGBT Pride” parade to show support for the LGBT community.
