Mayday Nowhere Re: Live 2024 Singapore Tour
If you missed Taiwanese rock band Mayday’s Nowhere tour when they visited our shores in 2012 and 2013, here is another chance to catch the highly acclaimed performance.
The five-member band – comprising lead vocalist Ashin, bassist Masa, drummer Guan You and guitarists Stone and Monster – promise to bring on the nostalgia at their upcoming show, which marks the tour’s 10th anniversary.
During their 2012 shows at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, they performed songs such as Cheers and I Don’t Want To Leave You Alone from their 2011 album Second Round.
The band look set to make a splash at their January show by “sailing” on a giant Noah’s Ark.
