Every year, Taiwanese rock band Mayday ring in the new year with a big bang, and 2023 was no exception.
At 10.45pm on New Year’s Eve, the quintet kicked off a science-fiction-themed concert, which also celebrates the 10th anniversary of Nowhere World Tour, one of their seminal concert tours performed from 2011 to 2014 in countries such as the United States and Canada.
The show started with the electrifying number 2012, the first track of their 2011 album Second Round.
They followed up with a set list comprising mostly old favourites such as Cheers (2011) and You Are Not Truly Happy (2008), and the occasional new track such as A Song With You, which was released in November.
Packed with stunning backdrops, heartfelt reflections and thrilling action scenes, the spectacular 1½-hour show certainly sent 2022 off on a high note.
