The long wait is finally over, as the Taipei Area reopens for large concerts. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, dozens of shows at the venue were forced to be canceled this year. After the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) relaxed its restrictions across public venues on June 7, applications to hold events at the multipurpose stadium are once again being accepted.
Singer Eric Chou will become the first to perform at the Taipei Arena as it reopens, bringing back his Deluxe concert tour with two shows on Saturday and Sunday. On Aug. 15, online retailer PChome Online will stage a concert at the venue to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Those who shop on the platform will have a chance to win tickets to the show, featuring A-lin, 831, MJ116 and many more artists.
This year’s Super Slippa summer music festival will also return to the Taipei Arena on Aug. 22 and 23. Held annually by Taiwanese supergroup Mayday, the festival, featuring over a dozen singers and groups, is set to rock the venue again.

You’re sitting in class when a classmate asks to borrow a pencil. It seems like a small favor, so you agree without hesitation. The following week, the same classmate asks to share your notes.
