Free yacht rides to “cruise the harbor and watch bands” are happening in Kaohsiung! The “Kaohsiung UBU Hard Rock Music Exhibition,” a collaboration between the Kaohsiung City Government Information Bureau and the Taiwan Music Culture International Exchange Association, has specially extended the stage to the sea, setting up a floating performance space inside the yacht. It offers 150 citizens and music fans the chance to take a free yacht ride to “cruise the harbor and watch bands.” Everyone is invited to head to Glory Pier today (31st) to enjoy this summer’s hottest harbor-side rock event.

“UBU” stands for You Be Yourself — be your own person — while “Indies” (short for independent music) embodies originality and creativity. The “Kaohsiung UBU Hard Rock Music Exhibition” taking place today (31st) at Glory Pier will launch a rock assault both on land and sea. Not only is entry completely free, but to showcase the charm of Kaohsiung as an ocean city, the organizers have planned three sea stage performances featuring Li Yasha, Chairman Band, and 88 Balaz. Citizens and music fans can enjoy a free yacht cruise around the harbor to catch the concert.
The “Kaohsiung UBU Hard Rock Music Exhibition” combines live concerts, a floating yacht stage, and elements of Fishbone Band history. In addition to inviting national treasure-level musical master Wen Xia, Chairman Band, Fire EX, this year’s Golden Melody Taiwanese Female Singer of the Year Li Yasha, Kou Chou Ching, 88 Balaz, and TRASH — winners of the Ocean Award at the Gongliao Ocean Music Festival — the event also features the “North Seven” band led by popular Taiwanese TV drama actress Wang Tong, bringing the most classic independent band performances to Kaohsiung.
Additionally, the music exhibition has organized a “Fishbone Band History Exhibition” to help fans learn about the development of independent music. There’s also a “Hard Rock Reading Market” mini-stage performance where independent bands from all over Taiwan perform their original songs, engaging closely with fans and turning the event into an alternative autograph-signing session. This allows both independent musicians and fans to truly Be Yourself. The event runs from 10:00 AM onwards, with concerts scheduled from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The sea stage performances take place from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Starting at 6:00 PM today, boarding tickets will be distributed at Glory Pier, with only 50 available per show — a total of 150 tickets for the three shows. Each person can receive a maximum of two tickets across all three shows, and they’ll be given out on a first-come, first-served basis.
