On Feb 21, one of 2020’s biggest Mandopop hits, the Mandarin song Guest, will be performed live in Singapore for the first time. Its singer, Chinese artiste Zhang Yuan, will be holding his first concert here.
The heartbreaking ballad has topped many charts here, such as 2024’s U1000 Music Countdown by local radio station UFM100.3 and KKBox’s Top Mandarin Weekly Singles Charts.
Zhang debuted in 2007 and has released many emotional love songs, as well as the solo album Guest (2023) and EP Depression · Enthusiasm (2021). His Singapore stop is part of his White world tour, which kicked off in Guangzhou in November 2024 and has travelled to other Chinese cities such as Nanjing, Wuhan, Xiamen and Shanghai.
