Irish boyband Westlife will stage a concert at Taoyuan’s National Taiwan Sport University’s Linkou Stadium on Sunday. The show is part of the band’s “The Twenty Tour” in celebration of its 20-year career. The group disbanded in 2012 and reunited last year, and this is its first tour in seven years.
Westlife has sold more than 55 million records worldwide, and 400,000 tickets were snapped up in 48 hours for the latest tour, according to Billboard. The group is set to release a new album in November and is going to perform some of the new songs this time, alongside its 14 UK No. 1 hits such as You Raise Me Up.
Also in Taoyuan, the Iron Rose International Music Festival will hold two concerts at the Taoyuan Arts Plaza from 4pm to 9pm on Saturday and Sunday. The free shows will feature local artists such as Golden Melody Award-winning singer Eve Ai, as well as foreign artists from Canada, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries.

愛爾蘭天團西城男孩週日訪台，將在桃園市國立體育大學的林口體育館開唱。這是該團「The Twenty Tour」巡演其中一場，以歡慶出道二十週年。在二○一二年解散後，他們去年又再度重聚，這也是他們七年來的首次巡演。

A: Several Japanese and South Korean acts, such as BigBang, are participating in this year’s Coachella Music Festival. Have any Mando-pop singers ever performed at Coachella? B: Yup, K-pop group GOT7’s Hong Kong member Jackson Wang, and Taiwanese band Sunset Rollercoaster, which primarily performs in English, attended the festival before.

Concertgoers know the rush all too well — the moment the first notes play, your heart races, and nothing else seems to matter. For many, the excitement doesn’t end when the lights come back on.

Psychologists have coined a term for this phenomenon: “post-concert depression,” or “PCD.” PCD is primarily related to hormone levels. When you’re at a concert, the excitement causes your brain to release feel-good chemicals like
A new study suggests that chimpanzees can weigh evidence and make rational judgments. In the experiment, researchers placed two boxes in front of the chimpanzees. One box was set up to give strong evidence, such as letting the chimpanzees actually see food inside. The other was designed to provide weak evidence, like producing a rattling sound when it was shaken. The chimps consistently chose the box with strong evidence, even when the weaker clue appeared first. This indicated that they were not fooled by the order of presentation. In another trial where no strong evidence was available, the chimps
