Next Stop – It is this moment before us, the every station we have walked through earnestly. The Travel Band’s 2024 national tour resonates once again in the venues, stopping at more stations. With each tour, an upgrade; with each city, a unique playlist. On their 19th anniversary, the next stop is still where you are.
From completing three rounds of tours surpassing 20,000 attendees for three consecutive years with sold-out performances, to annually moving music lovers with heartfelt performances at various music festivals, and引爆 the first round of venue concerts with a狂欢 of thousands… People have witnessed the Travel Band’s music journey as enriching and steadfast. They have become known as the band with the most ‘cost-effectiveness’ and the most immersive live music experience. With the courage and determination to ‘sing until 80’, the Travel Band decides to offer a new ‘journey invitation’ to their fans and themselves. For the Travel Band, every performance is an opportunity to step out of their comfort zone and create new surprises, for as long as they stand on stage, they will not fail to reciprocate the dedication from the audience. If you have seen the Travel Band’s live performances countless times, this time will surely be a refreshing experience! This time, let us join the Travel Band on the brink of their twentieth year and shout out that phrase: Where is our next stop? Is it the naive beginning, the anticipated end, or a point in the cycle of confusion. We constantly ask ourselves the direction of the next stop, as if sinking our bodies into a boundless dream, trying to find an anchor point to land and stay amidst the ups and downs. We board this train, roaring forward, heading deeper into life… Will the next stop contradict the ‘new’ we anticipate? If the next stop does not bring a shining arrival, should we still continue to take risks? Having experienced disagreements and reconciliations, tasted pain and happiness, promised to erase memories before heading to the next stop, only to find in the moment of turning around that everything that has disappeared with time is still around us. The linear world slowly folds in our adventures, and the past we have traveled through is the future that keeps being reborn. The next stop is this moment before us, the every station we have walked through earnestly. The next stop is constructed by ourselves who are always on the road, chosen by the self that is always renewing. The Travel 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 you. The 2024 all-new upgraded stage concert, 7 cities, 7 experiences, the Travel Band’s new arrangement, nearly 30 tracks combining 5 emotional color blocks, with the memories of the past and the vibrancy of the present, together painting the most genuine life experience.Not bound by space and unafraid of the passage of time. As we set off on the next stage of our life journey, the next stop is born in the moment of turning around.
For the visual presentation of this tour, the Travelers Band will specially use AI technology to gradually unfold the scenery along the way of this small vehicle heading towards the universe. In the music career of the Travelers Band, they write about simple ordinary fireworks, serious social issues, and vivid bits of life… And for ‘Next Stop’, the Travelers Band hopes to use a visually futuristic presentation to explore the unknown tomorrow with everyone. In 1969, astronauts first landed on the moon, inspiring unlimited reverie about the universe for humanity. In 2024, AI artificial intelligence has entered human life, inspiring dialectical thinking about technology and civilization. The Travelers Band hopes that when we face the rapidly developing technological world, we should actively and bravely explore. At the same time, don’t forget that our spirit and thoughts are the most precious treasures. Even if you and I will be in the vast universe in the future, why not be an ‘incurable romantic’! Nineteen years, twenty years, the train of the Travelers Band will always be there, heading to any place you and we want to reach. The next stop is definite and resplendent because of you.
