Fans of Mandopop star Jay Chou have reason to rejoice. The immensely popular Taiwanese singer-songwriter has added Singapore to his Carnival World Tour, and will be performing at the Singapore National Stadium on Dec 17 and 18.

Entertainment company GHY Culture & Media, which announced Chou’s upcoming concert in Singapore on Wednesday (Apr 13) over Facebook and Instagram, said that details for buying tickets will come later.

“Please follow our official FB and IG for updates,” GHY said in its posts.

“We are very excited about Jay Chou’s return to the Singapore stage where fans can enjoy his world-class performance, in-person again after over two years. We look forward to reuniting fans with a phenomenal live concert experience and celebrating Jay Chou’s music together,” a spokesman for GHY Culture & Media was quoted in The Straits Times as saying.

It’s been more than two years since Chou performed in Singapore.

Chou had back-to-back concerts for two nights in January 2020, where he sang favourites such as Sunny Day and Simple Love, before the Covid-19 pandemic took hold and countries locked down their borders.

The 2020 concert had also been part of the Carnival World Tour, which celebrates the singer’s career, which has been going strong for over two decades.

His first album, simply entitled Jay, was released in 2020.

“Singapore Sports Hub has welcomed many international artistes over the years and we are pleased to be playing host to Jay Chou and his fans again as more live mega concerts return to Singapore’s iconic National Stadium,” Lionel Yeo, the chief executive officer of Singapore Sports Hub, was quoted in CNA Lifestyle as saying.

While fans in Singapore rejoiced at Chou’s return, netizens commenting on GHY Culture & Media’s Facebook post clamoured for him to perform in Malaysia as well.
