Kaohsiung ticket sale

I arrived back from Manila just hours from today's Kaohsiung concert ticket sale

At every 7-11 I went there was a queue at ibon. Far fewer people that i had expected (cos the concerts are held in Kaohsiung - I can imagine the Q being much longer in Kaohsiung)

Much to my surprise, the ibon system ran very smoothly. It took less than 5 mins to purchase the tickets. I heard the 7net.com system was hopeless, but the ibon system was fast and smooth. Hope you guys managed to secure tickets :)

the "queue" at ibon

ready.. get set.. GO

it's as easy as A B C

Summer Sonic 2012 @ Tokyo

I almost forgot about this post, the follow-up from Summer Sonic @ Osaka Unfortunately I have no photos to share as they seem to have been deleted by mistake ! =.=

Unlike Summer Sonic Osaka, Summer Sonic Tokyo's stage were mostly held indoor at Makuhari Messe save for the main stage, Marine Stage which was held at QVC Marine Field. Though it was a lot more comfortable being indoor, the whole atmosphere sorely lacked "festival feel".

Mountain Stage was housed inside one of the many halls of Makuhari Messe and it was pretty big (20,000 or so capacity!). When I arrived there was already a sizeable crowd, who mostly came to watch Flip and Champagne, both local rock bands. When Champagne came on, the crowd went really wild and crazeeee!! 

I was really appalled by the attitude of the Tokyo fans - when Tribes' performance ended and part of the crowd had cleared, Mayday fans behind me started pushing their way to the front: how rude!!Lack of manners was something I didn't expect to see in the Tokyo crowd. On the contrary, the crowd in Osaka were really well behaved.

Mayday played a longer set compared to Summer Sonic Osaka. It was nice hearing Monster and Ashin speaking Japanese, though I do not understand a word of it

Stuck around after Mayday's performance to catch the rest of the performances at Mountain stage:
Cast - one word: "has-been".
The Cardigans - what can I say? I only stuck around to hear them sing 'Lovefool"
Hoobastank - almost died in the moshpit~ for reasons I can't fathom, they're popular in Japan, having played their 5th Summer Sonic in 10 years. They weren't exactly that good live, but one thing's for sure: Doug Robb is one hell of an Japanses ass-kisser!! So yeah, I kinda get why they're so big in Japan.
Garbage - WICKED!! Shirley Manson's performance is simply mesmerizing

20120901 新竹縣全國客家義民之夜晚會

I arrived at the Hsinchu County Stadium on Friday night. At Exit No. 2, in the motorcycle parking lot, there was already a line of 50 or so fans with their tents set up. A typical scene the night before a Mayday concert here in Taiwan. Some of the more hardcore ones actually start queuing days, up to a week ahead of the event.

Do not be surprised to see the Q in front of you multiply tenfold ~ if it's a free concert, chances are the folks in the waiting Q are also Q-ing for their family, friends, neighbours, classmates, workmates etc.


Hsinchu County Stadium - my first time here! It's bigger and newer than the Hsinchu City Stadium.

All of a sudden, at about 4:00PM it started to piss down really heavily. The crowd got restless as the organiser wanted to wait out for the downpour to stop before letting us in. Towards the back of the line it got really chaotic and people started pushing their way to teh front. Thankfully the front section of the line was still orderly.

We were allowed inside the stadium at 4:30PM and it was a chaotic sight as fans made the mad dash inside the stadium ground. Thankfully there were seats though they were all wet from the heavy rain. I guess most fans made the dash for the left side of the stage cos I managed to grab a seat in row 4 on the right side. Not too bad!

The heavy rain brought the temperature that evening down to a cool 24C. Sweet!


831 and Champion came onstage to soundcheck for over an hour before the actual concert started.
