Be the Strength You Need. Transitioning from online to in-person, the concert owes its success to the efforts of society's fight against COVID-19. As it concludes, Mayday shares heartfelt reflections and counts down to the new year with fans. Dazzling fireworks were bidding farewell to the pandemic and resonating deeply with the audience.

Inspiration

In 2020, due to Covid-19 lockdowns, social and large-scale events worldwide were halted. To uphold their annual "Mayday in May" tradition, Mayday hosted Taiwan's first no-audience online concert, "Mayday Live in the Sky," at Taipei Stadium. This groundbreaking event garnered over 40 million views, providing significant encouragement during uncertain times. As the pandemic eased, Mayday continued this concept with their Fly to 2022 tour, marking their return to live performances.

Project Duration

The project started in January 2022 in Taichung and toured around the world.

Operation Flow

Fans initially skeptical of the "missing" theme were deeply moved by the concert. The song "Braveness+Breakthrough Day", accompanied by visuals depicting people's daily struggles, evoked tears, particularly among those facing hardships. Through stage design, lighting, and the program, the concert expressed profound feelings of longing, transforming the unspoken words and unperformed songs of isolation into an unforgettable experience that inspired the audience with positive energy and courage to begin anew.
