New Taipei City is set to host its annual "Becoming an Adult Concert" on August 15 at the Citizen Square, unveiling a lineup of popular artists and student performers. The event, timed to coincide with graduation season, aims to celebrate and showcase the creativity, passion, and talent of young students.

Headlining the concert are Golden Melody Award winners Crowd Lu and Cosmos People, alongside the band The Ways. They will be joined by other notable musicians such as PAPUN BAND, GGteens, Lu Yun, Xu Weifang, and BBFTE. The concert will also feature performances from the top 30 high school original graduation songs, student club exhibitions, and a special uniform party, transforming the Citizen Square into a vibrant campus.

Vice Mayor Liu Heran highlighted that the event serves as a platform created by the city government for students. "This is a stage built by the city government for students, hoping to let students' creations, passion, and talents be seen by more people," he stated. The "Becoming an Adult High School Festival," which began in April, has involved high school students in selecting graduation songs, online voting, and now culminates in live performances and club showcases, making them the protagonists of their own youth stories.

Education Bureau Director Zhang Mingwen announced the premiere of a decade-revisited MV for "Departure," featuring new faces and campus scenes to convey hope and courage for the future. This MV will be played exclusively at the Banqiao Station on August 15. Additionally, the top 30 high school original graduation song-performing schools will take the stage, and vocational high school students will present diverse club achievements through dance and music. The venue will feature a campus-themed entrance, creative window corridors, and interactive photo areas, alongside themed zones like the "Becoming an Adult Breakfast Shop" and "Becoming an Adult Convenience Store."

This is a stage built by the city government for students, hoping to let students' creations, passion, and talents be seen by more people.
