Kaohsiung National Stadium Travel Recommendations for 2025 (Updated in Aug)

#concert #100 ways to travel The concert that I have attended the most times must be #Mayday! Starting from the first New Year's Eve concert at the Kaohsiung World Games Main Stadium, I was stunned by the gorgeous and cool stage lights and sounds. It was like I was addicted to it. I have to come to Mayday almost every year! The New Year's Eve show in Kaohsiung was so amazing that when they sang the song "Car Fight", a car actually exploded out from the back of the stage. It was so scary! What impressed me most was the glow sticks in my hands, which actually changed color by themselves along with the performance on stage. Suddenly, it was a sea of ​​blue fluorescence, and then instantly turned into red and white. It was the first time I saw such black technology, it was so cool! Finally, the countdown to the New Year’s Eve ends, 54321! Fireworks were also set off above the World Games main stadium. Welcoming the New Year with the company of Mayday brought back many memories. Later, I continued to follow the performances for several years, from the Taoyuan Baseball Stadium, Taichung Baseball Stadium, the open space of the Nangang CITIC Park, to Mayday’s 3D movie and Huashan Exhibition. It was so exciting! #concert #Mayday #believemusic #100waystotravel

This concert has special significance, especially the last one in Kaohsiung, which made fans excited. In this concert, Mayday not only reviewed past classic works, but also brought new songs, allowing fans to feel the passage of time and the power of life in the ocean of music. This concert covered many of Mayday's classic songs, such as "Stubborn", "Contented", "Love", etc., allowing every audience at the scene to sing along with the melody and be moved together. The last concert in Kaohsiung Station is undoubtedly a grand music feast. That night, the venue was packed with fans, who gathered early, looking forward to this moment. The five members of Mayday - Ashin, Monster, Shitou, Masha and Guanyou, are still as energetic as ever and take to the stage. With the lights flashing and the music playing, the atmosphere instantly reached a climax. This concert is not only a grand event of music, but also an intertwining of emotions. Countless memories emerge in the music’s melodies, and many fans have a deep connection with Mayday’s music in different ways.

Ed Sheeran will be performing in Taiwan on February 3, 2024, for the first time at the Kaohsiung National Stadium. This event is part of his 'Ed Sheeran +−=÷× 2024 TOUR'. Attending an Ed Sheeran concert is definitely a bucket list experience! The superstar Ed Sheeran has numerous hit songs and record-breaking achievements. This year, he unlocked the milestone of 10 billion streams in the UK, becoming the first artist ever to receive the 'Gold BRIT Billion Award'. Experiencing this amazing concert up close for the first time is incredibly moving, and it checks off a must-see concert from my life list. 🥰

Following their 2015 Asia tour, American rock band Maroon 5 will return to Taiwan on March 1, 2019, for another tour (screams and cheers 🎉). This time, they chose to perform during the 228 holiday and set the venue at the Kaohsiung National Stadium, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. This makes Maroon 5 the first Western artists to hold a solo concert at the Kaohsiung National Stadium. The most impressive part of this concert was the total performance time of 1.5 hours. Having previously attended a Mayday concert, which lasted about three hours, I found the experience extremely enjoyable and felt that the audience got their money's worth. While it might be inappropriate to compare the two, the total performance time of Maroon 5's concert was quite unusual for me as a first-time attendee of a Western concert. The format of a half-hour warm-up followed by the main performance of about 1.5 hours gave me a sense of high efficiency and a fast pace, with not much extra chatting. Although this was a minor drawback, it still fulfilled my dream of attending a Western artist's concert. In 2015, Maroon 5 performed at the Nangang Exhibition Center in Taipei, where tickets were hard to come by, leading to an additional show being announced. This demonstrated their immense popularity in Taiwan. For this world tour, the organizers and the international team aimed to find the best venue in Taiwan that could accommodate all their fans. After extensive evaluation, they settled on the Kaohsiung National Stadium, which can hold 50,000 people. The concert, held during the 228 holiday, was Maroon 5's first time in Kaohsiung. The concert truly opened my eyes, with stage effects complementing the moving melodies of their songs 🎶. It was an unforgettable concert experience! 😍
