The Asia-Pacific Cities Summit is held biennially. It was founded in 1996 by Kaohsiung’s sister city, Brisbane, Australia, and is now in its ninth edition. Kaohsiung has won the bid to host this year’s event, which is expected to gather over 1,000 dignitaries from more than 80 cities around the world. The “Night of Kaohsiung” evening gala will be presented in a concert format, with exclusive title sponsorship by Grand Hyatt Kaohsiung, and hosted by entertainers Dee Shu and RUBY. The event will be open to the public free of charge, with no tickets required.
The evening gala is scheduled to kick off at 7:00 PM on September 10 at Glory Pier. Students from the Kaohsiung Campus of Shih Chien University will open the show with a creative Songjiang Battle Array combined with a powerful drum performance. The Electric-Shocking Dancing Gods of Taiwan, who wowed the world at the 2009 Kaohsiung World Games, will also put on a spectacular performance. In addition to the exciting traditional art troupes of Kaohsiung, other performers include Ding Dang, the singer of the 2011 Kaohsiung Lantern Festival theme song, who has won multiple music awards in the Chinese-speaking world and is renowned for her urban love ballads; Jia Jia, a 100% original musician who just finished filming an MV in Kaohsiung; and the electronic rock band MP Magic Power, known for featuring “Flower Mom” in their “Sagittarius Dance” MV. They will all perform their signature songs, bringing a fresh and unique experience to the attendees. The night will conclude with Mayday, a multiple Golden Melody Award winner who set records performing for 300,000 people across three shows at Beijing’s Bird’s Nest and 200,000 people in four shows at the World Games Main Stadium, headlining the event with a full-scale concert production.
