A large number of scalpers also announced that they were accepting reservations for Faye Wong's concert.
Some netizens said, "If it is true, I will go and see it even if I am trying to sell it!" "It is estimated that it will be 'hell-level' difficulty to grab tickets." Some netizens said they were not optimistic, "Faye Wong's voice may not be as good as before."
#Faye Wongconcert# has become a hot search topic.
Soon, the official Weibo of the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the venue for the concert, refuted the rumors, "I heard that Faye Wong is coming to UFO to hold a concert!? We were the last to know! Please wait a moment Be patient and don't believe false information~"
reported online that the official Weibo of the concert venue refuted the rumors.
reporters asked many industry insiders to confirm this news. On the evening of July 22, an insider confirmed to reporters that it is not Faye Wong who will hold a concert this year, but Faye Wong's daughter Dou Jingtong. The person familiar with the matter revealed that a Shanghai organizer is promoting Dou Jingtong's concert. The project is currently being submitted for approval and is scheduled to be held in the fourth quarter of this year.
Subsequently, the reporter inquired through the Ministry of Culture and Tourism's "National Foreign Commercial Performance Activities" page and learned that Dou Jingtong's concert had been approved on July 16, and the performance will be on October 26 this year. The performance will be at the Jing'an Sports Center Gymnasium in Shanghai. .
Dou Jingtong's concert has been approved.
Public information shows that Faye Wong is 54 years old. As a "diva-level" female singer who has made many achievements in the Chinese music scene, she has almost disappeared from the public eye in recent years. She has not released a personal music work for a long time. She only became the "Bay Area Rising Moon" in 2021. The Greater Bay Area Mid-Autumn Festival Film and Music Gala sang the theme song "Bay", as well as the theme songs for the movies "My Fathers and Me" and "A Long Journey Home".
The last time Faye Wong held a concert was back on December 30, 2016. She held a "Fantasy Music" single concert in Shanghai. It was her first concert in six years. According to media reports at the time, the official ticket prices for the concert were set at three levels: 1,800 yuan, 5,800 yuan, and 7,800 yuan, which far exceeded consumers' awareness of concert ticket prices at the time. Subsequently, tickets for the game were sold for tens of thousands of yuan on the secondary market, and there were even rumors that front-row tickets were sold for a million yuan, causing huge controversy.
Dou Jingtong was born in 1997. She is the daughter of well-known singers Dou Wei and Faye Wong. She debuted in 2012 and has successively released many original songs and three English albums. In 2023, Dou Jingtong released his first Mandarin album "Spring Outing".
