DNA epilogue

The 14 month DNA 2009-2010 World Tour which began in May 2009 will come to an end this Saturday, making Taichung the 44th concert in the tour (what an unlucky number)

It's a bittersweet ending for me. On the one hand I'm glad the band have finally concluded (yet) another world tour and can now move on to the next chapter. I hope they find some time to rest and relax. On the other hand it's sad that I won't get to see them ever so often in concerts across the globe XD After Saturday I would've attended 17 of the total 44 shows o.O Well at least the hole in my pocket won't be getting any bigger

Here's the rundown of the entire world tour:

Additional tickets for Taichung 7/24

Additional 700 tickets will be added for the 7/24 Taichung DNA concert, announced late last night. The tickets in the G and H section, all priced at NT$1280 will go on sale on Friday 7/23 at noon. That’s only a day before the actual concert! ..not that they’d have trouble selling so many tickets in such a short span of time

There's so much hype surrounding this concert and the 3D filming.. I can't wait already!!

5 hour final gig

Further to my last entry on additional late night train service, it was reported today that the 24/7 Taichung 變形DNA無限放大版演唱會 will run for an estimated 5 hour from 7:30pm till 12:30am on 25th. It's gonna be a long final concert =D

Out of town fans are strongly advised to purchase the return ticket in advance to avoid the massive queue at the station after the concert.

5 days to go!

Mayday @ Ding Dang's Taipei concert

Ding Dang 丁噹 performed at the University of Taipei stadium yesterday on her 「Dream Girl下一站天后」tour, which was attended by 4,000 fans along with her B'in Music stable mates who turned up to show their support which included Mayday (minus Guan You, but lookalike Michael Wong was present) and Fish Leung.

Countdown to 24/7 Taichung DNA

6 days to go to the final DNA concert in Taichung on 24 July 2010

Train services from Taichung have been extended on concert night to ferry out of town fans home after the concert which should be ending later than usual, with the last outbound train departing at 2:30AM.

First no more

Back in May it was reported that Mayday were to film and release Asia's first ever concert in 3D titled 「3DNA」, set to be released early next year ...only to be beaten to the title by Japan's Ayumi Hamasaki!

Ayumi had recorded her 2009 tour in 3D and after an eight month post production, the 3D concert movie (which also includes CG effect) will air in cinemas across Japan this 28 August.

Looks like the guys should've started filming in 3D when the tour kicked off last year LOL

Nanjing DNA and Taipei Toy Festival

Another busy weekend for the band as they are holding the second last DNA concert in Nanjing tonight. Meanwhile, over in Taipei, No2Good is busy holding the Stay Real fort at the 7th annual Taipei Toy Festival 2010: Monster Vs Toys which is being held from 8 to 11 July 2010.

Featuring designer toys, products, and collectibles from various deisgners, this year's event sees Stay Real occupying 3 booths (way to go SR!!) No2Good was onsite today for an autograph session this afternoon.

What a surprise when Tik texted me today as she was Q-ing up to get No2Good's autograph, and told me later that she had got me something signed :))) Thank you so much Tik *muaks*

基因搖滾 Revolution of Evolution

The STAY REAL Forever exhibition which is currently held in Shanghai until 12 July will be moving to Taichung come 25 July. Titled '基因搖滾 Revolution of Evolution', the exhibition will run from 25 July 2010 to 12 September 2010 at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts located at 2, Sec. 1, Wu Chuan W. Rd., Taichung 403 [in Chinese: 403台中市西區五權西路一段2號]

Be there or be square!

Happy 70th Ringo

Ringo Starr turns 70 today. Happy birthday to a legend!

I love the song Octopus' Garden, which was written by Ringo and appears in The Beatles' Abbey Road album. Great song and equally wicked album :)
