It has been a decade since homegrown Mandopop star Stefanie Sun last headlined her own tour, so when her upcoming world tour Aut Nihilo Sun Yanzi In Concert was announced recently, fans went into a frenzy.
Tickets to her two shows at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on April 5 and 6, which kick off the tour, sold out so fast that the 46-year-old star promptly added another two shows at the same venue on April 12 and 13, which have since sold out too.
Sun, known for beloved numbers like Cloudy Day (2000) and What I Miss (2007), promised overseas fans that the tour will also travel to places like Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and, of course, Taiwan where she made her debut.
Sun launched her singing career in 2000 under Warner Music Taiwan and shot to fame with her self-titled debut album, Yan Zi, which earned her Taiwan's Golden Melody Award for Best New Artiste.
But fans in Taipei may not be able to see Sun in 2025. According to a report by Taiwanese news outlet Mirror Media, the singer, who is the founder of her own management agency Make Music, had tried to book a slot for her world tour at Taipei Arena, which can accommodate up to 15,000 people, in the second half of 2025.
But the arena—the go-to destination for most major acts stopping in Taipei—is in such high demand that Sun's team was unable to book it.
