Lo Ta-yu 羅大佑 brings his 2026 «春龍 Spring Dragon» Symphony Night Concert 交響夜音樂會 to the Longgang International Art Center 龍崗國際藝術中心 on Friday and Saturday, November 20–21, 2026. One of Mandopop's founding voices — composer of 「童年」, 「鹿港小鎮」, 「光陰的故事」 and a hundred other songs that defined Chinese-language pop — returns to Shenzhen for two nights of symphonic reinvention in the run-up to winter.
Lo Ta-yu 羅大佑 (born 20 July 1954, Taipei) is widely recognised as the "godfather of Mandopop" — a singer, songwriter and keyboardist whose late-1970s and 1980s records rewrote the boundaries of what Chinese-language popular music could say and how it could sound. During the 1980s he became one of the most influential Mandopop singer-songwriters of his generation, with melodic lyrics and love songs, plus witty social and political commentary that was sometimes suppressed in Taiwan and Mainland China during that decade. He is recognised as a cultural icon in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Mainland China, and in 2021 received the Special Contribution Award at the 32nd Golden Melody Awards.
The «春龍 Spring Dragon» Symphony Night is a one-off orchestral collaboration — Lo Ta-yu's songwriting paired with a live symphony orchestra, a format he has returned to repeatedly across the last decade and that lets the songs breathe differently than his standard band shows. Expect a symphonic setlist anchored by signature songs:
Dates: Friday and Saturday, November 20–21, 2026. Show time: 7:30 PM each night (Asia/Shanghai, doors open at 6:30 PM). Venue: Longgang International Art Center 龍崗國際藝術中心, Longgang Cultural Centre area, Longgang District, Shenzhen.
The Longgang International Art Center is the performing-arts hall inside the Longgang Cultural Centre complex in central Longgang — a roughly 1,500-seat proscenium theatre purpose-built for orchestral, opera and chamber concerts. Indoor, climate-controlled, with a deep stage that handles full symphony orchestra plus Lo's rock band, it's the right-sized room for a symphonic-pop night where the arrangements matter as much as the singer.
Tickets are on sale now via official ticketing platforms (Damai 大麥, Maoyan 貓眼) and Trip.com. Standard pricing tiers for each of the two nights:
Two-night passes and signed program packages are typically available through Lo Ta-yu's official fanclub channels. Both nights are expected to sell out separately; if the first night fills, the second is your best shot.
