Golden Melody Award-winning singer-songwriter Tanya Chua is set to perform at the Kaohsiung Pop Music Center's Haoyin Hall on October 17. The concert, titled "B-side Tears," focuses on her less-prominent but cherished songs and has a history of selling out instantly.

This upcoming performance is part of the "Takao Rock" festival's five-year anniversary "KMC Select" series. Chua's "Into The B-Sides" tour earlier this year in New Taipei City sold out immediately, and subsequent shows in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu also received widespread acclaim.

Chua shared that her previous performances have been a source of strength. She recalled a moment during the Chengdu show where she became emotional singing "Falling," only to be grounded by the sight of a sea of lights and the audience singing along. She described these "B-side" songs as "little orphans" that have now found a home, proclaiming, "B-Side is the new A-Side!"

Addressing fan feedback about previous concerts being physically demanding, Chua playfully announced that the Kaohsiung show will feature assigned seating, allowing fans to enjoy the music comfortably. She also noted a "mysterious attraction and relationship" with Kaohsiung, having not performed there in two years.
