Guangzhou
陈奕迅FEAR and DREAMS世界巡回演唱会
Time: 2023.12.29-2024.01.07
Venue: Guangzhou Baoneng Qoros Cultural Center
Since its inception in December 2022, Eason Chan's world tour has toured Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taipei, North America, Macau and other places. It is understood that the theme of the tour stems from the two words "FEAR" and "DREAMS" that came to Eason's mind by chance four years ago. The poster has also been redesigned, Eason looks in two opposite directions, his facial expression is different, and the background color of the poster is adjusted from black to gray, which is more meaningful. Supplemented by colorful flowers and butterflies, each audience will have their own interpretation of what "FEAR" and "DREAMS" are.
It is reported that this tour will focus more on the sense of stage and drama, releasing strong performance tension and bringing food to the audience at the same time. After more than 50 performances, I believe that Eason and his team will bring a wonderful interpretation to the audience that is different from the past, and this tour in Guangzhou is worth looking forward to.
