Next Stop — It’s this very moment, the every step we’ve earnestly taken.
The Traveling Band’s 2024 national tour resonates once again in venues, stopping at more locations. With each tour, an upgrade; with each city, a unique playlist. On their 19th anniversary, the next stop is still where you are. From three consecutive years of completing three rounds of tours exceeding 20,000 attendees and selling out, to annually touching music lovers’ hearts at major music festivals, and the first round of venue concerts igniting a狂欢 of ten thousand… People have witnessed the Traveling Band’s music journey, rich and steadfast, making them a band with ‘cost-performance’ in the mouths of music lovers, and the most immersive live music experience. With the courage and determination to ‘sing until 80’, the Traveling Band decides to hand over a new ‘travel invitation’ to music lovers and themselves. For the Traveling Band, each performance is created with the mindset of stepping out of their comfort zone to bring new surprises, because as long as they stand on stage, they will never disappoint the mutual dedication between the stage and the audience. If you have seen the Traveling Band’s live performances countless times, this time will definitely refresh your experience! This time, let’s join the Traveling Band, on the verge of their twentieth year, to shout out: Where is our next stop? Is it the naive starting point, the anticipated end, or a point in the cycle of confusion. We constantly ask ourselves where the next stop is, as if sinking our bodies into a boundless dream, trying to find an anchor point to stop and stay amidst the ups and downs. We are on this train, whistling forward, heading deeper into life… Will the next stop contradict the ‘new’ we anticipate? If the next stop does not bring the shining glory, should we continue to take risks? After experiencing disagreements and reconciliations, after tasting pain and happiness, promising to wash away memories before heading to the next stop, only to find in the moment of turning around that everything that disappeared with time is still around us. The linear world slowly folds in our adventures, the past we have visited is the future that is constantly reborn. The next stop is this very moment, the every step we’ve earnestly taken. The next stop is built by ourselves who are always on the road, chosen by the self that is always renewing. The Traveling Band’s 19th anniversary concert, ‘Next Stop’, breaks free from the control of time and space, presenting every shared present, past, and future right before your eyes. The 2024 new venue-level concert, 7 cities, 7 playlists, the Traveling Band’s new arrangement, with nearly 30 songs combining 5 emotional color blocks, using sealed memories and the vivid present, to jointly depict the most genuine life experience.Unbound by space, unafraid of the passage of time, as we embark on the next chapter of life’s journey, the next stop is born in the blink of an eye. Nineteen years, twenty years, the Travel Band’s train will always be there, heading to any place you and we wish to reach. The next stop, because of you, is certain and bright.
