Travel Band’s ‘Next Stop’ 2024 Tour – Shanghai Station
‘Next Stop’ – It’s this very moment that stands before us, it’s every station we have earnestly passed through. Travel Band’s 2024 national tour will once again resonate in venues, stopping at more stations. With each tour, an upgrade; with each city, a unique playlist. On the 19th anniversary, the ‘Next Stop’ is still in the place where you are. From completing three rounds of tours exceeding 20,000 people over three consecutive years with sold-out shows, to the heartfelt moments brought to music lovers every year at major music festivals, and the initial venue concerts that ignited a狂欢 of thousands… People have witnessed the steady and determined pace of Travel Band’s music journey, and they have become known as the band with the most ‘cost-effectiveness’ and the most immersive musical performance experience among fans. With the courage and determination to ‘sing until 80’, Travel Band decides to offer a new ‘journey invitation’ to their fans and themselves. For Travel Band, each performance is approached with the mindset of stepping out of their comfort zone to create new surprises, because as long as they stand on stage, they will never fail the mutual journey with the audience. If you have seen Travel Band’s live performances countless times, this time will definitely offer a refreshing experience! This time, let’s join the Travel Band, who are about to turn twenty, and shout out: Where is our ‘Next Stop’? Is it the naive starting point, the anticipated endpoint, or a point in the cycle of helplessness? We constantly ask ourselves the direction of the ‘Next Stop’, as if submerging our bodies into a boundless dream, trying to find an anchor point to stop and stay amidst the ups and downs. We are riding this train, roaring forward, heading deeper into life… Will the ‘Next Stop’ contradict the ‘new’ we are looking forward to? Will we continue to take risks if the ‘Next Stop’ does not bring the shining glory? Having experienced disagreements and reconciliations, and tasted pain and happiness, we promise to cleanse our memories before heading to the ‘Next Stop’, only to discover in the moment of turning around that everything that 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. ‘Next Stop’, it is this very moment before us, it is every station we have earnestly passed through. ‘Next Stop’, constructed by ourselves who are always on the road, chosen by the self that is always renewing. Travel Band’s 19th-anniversary concert, ‘Next Stop’, transcends the control of time and space, presenting every shared present, past, and future right before your eyes. The 2024 new upgraded stage production concert, 7 cities and 7 different experiences, Travel Band’s new arrangements, nearly 30 songs combining 5 emotional color blocks, using the memories that have been sealed away and the vivid present, to jointly depict 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 an instant of turning around. For the visual presentation of this tour, The Life Journey Band will specially use AI technology to gradually unfold the scenery along the way of this small vehicle heading towards the universe. In the musical career of The Life Journey Band, they write about simple ordinary fireworks, serious social issues, and vivid bits of life… And for ‘Next Stop’, The Life Journey Band hopes to use a rather futuristic visual presentation to explore the unknown tomorrow together with everyone. In 1969, astronauts landed on the moon for the first time, inspiring unlimited reverie about the universe among humans. In 2024, AI artificial intelligence enters human life, inspiring dialectical thinking about technology and civilization. The Life Journey 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 Life Journey Band’s train will always be there, heading to any place you and we want to reach. The next stop is definite and brilliant because of you.
