The only pop music event of the 2013 Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival Grassland Concert, “Singing to the South — Original Music Concert,” will kick off with great energy tonight (the 12th) at 19:00 on the lakeside grass slope of the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts. Jia Jia and the most representative rock band from southern Taiwan, Fire EX, will be making special appearances, along with seven up-and-coming musical talents who will perform one after another. Free tickets are available for entry, and ticket holders can also enter a draw to win an iPad mini.

The concert will feature performances by Jia Jia, the spokesperson for “Singing to the South,” as well as a headline set by Fire EX, the most iconic rock band in southern Taiwan. Seven emerging musical talents — Yan Yongneng, Yen Wei-Ling, Prophet Mary, Fearless Bacon, Chen Ling-Jiu, Chang Hsi-An, and Chen I-Hsiu — will also take the stage to showcase their talents. The event will also include screenings of five award-winning music videos that tell touching stories. The concert will feature a variety of music styles including rock, ballad, punk, and folk, making it a fantastic audiovisual experience under the stars and on the grass. An iPad mini will also be given away as a grand prize at the end of the concert.
