A Taipei Finale Sends Its Biggest Message From Kaohsiung
Taiwanese band Accusefive will perform at Kaohsiung Arena on January 9 and 10, 2027, after announcing the dates through a display of 600 drones above Kaohsiung Harbour during its final Taipei Arena concert on November 8, 2026. Tickets are scheduled to go on sale at noon on November 14.

The announcement arrived during the closing song, 披星戴月的想你, as the screen behind the band switched to a live feed from the southern port city. Drones formed the @ symbol, the band's Chinese name, 告五人, and the tour branding @century before revealing the January dates.
Fans inside Taipei Arena could therefore watch the announcement unfold in another city while the band was still performing in front of them. The harbour became an extension of the concert stage, turning the end of three consecutive Taipei shows into the launch of the next stop.
The Kaohsiung dates follow Accusefive's first run of concerts on three consecutive days at Taipei Arena. All three shows sold out. The finale combined requests from the audience, a singer suspended about 10 metres above the stage and an announcement that immediately gave fans another trip to plan.
When Tickets Go on Sale
November 14 at noon is the next date for fans seeking tickets to the two Kaohsiung Arena concerts. Ticket prices, the sales platform and purchase limits were not specified in the announcement details. The January shows will take place at the arena, a different venue from Kaohsiung's National Stadium, where Accusefive performed in 2025.
The short sequence from the Taipei finale to ticket sales leaves fans six days to decide which performance to attend and whether they need accommodation. The main dates are:
- November 6 to 8, 2026: Accusefive performs three consecutive concerts at Taipei Arena.
- November 8, 2026: The final Taipei show reveals the Kaohsiung dates through a live harbour drone display.
- November 14, 2026, at noon: Tickets for the Kaohsiung concerts are scheduled to go on sale.
- January 9 and 10, 2027: Accusefive is scheduled to perform at Kaohsiung Arena.
A Harbour Display With a Familiar Connection
Kaohsiung already had a place in the band's use of drones. Accusefive staged a large aerial display during its 2025 concerts at the National Stadium. The new harbour announcement returned to that visual approach, this time using the sky to reveal where the tour would go next.
The display was described as involving 600 drones, although some descriptions counted 600 drone flights across the operation. Its formations moved from symbols associated with the band to the practical information fans were waiting for: January 9 and 10 in Kaohsiung.
The aerial announcement reportedly cost a seven figure sum in New Taiwan dollars. Its audience extended beyond people looking up from the harbour because the live feed also reached everyone inside Taipei Arena. The reveal connected the city hosting the final concert with the city preparing to receive the next two.
Rehearsals Put Hotel Rooms in Demand
Residents spotted and filmed the drones during a late night rehearsal before the announcement. Images circulated online, allowing some fans to work out the destination before the band revealed it onstage.
The rehearsal footage reportedly triggered a rush for Kaohsiung hotel rooms, with bookings arriving overnight. Hotel front desks reportedly received a sudden influx of orders in the middle of the night, leaving staff initially puzzled. One account described room prices jumping twofold in a night, although no hotel sample, comparison dates or booking totals accompanied that figure. Fans planning to travel faced an immediate accommodation decision even before concert tickets went on sale.
Some secondary school students also expressed frustration on Threads because the concerts fall about two weeks before the university entrance examination known as the General Scholastic Ability Test. For those fans, a January weekend concert competes with the final stretch of exam preparation, making the timing harder to celebrate without reservation.
Three Nights, With More Time for Music
Singer Chuan Ching told the audience that this was Accusefive's first experience of performing concerts on three consecutive days. Before 愛在夏天, she reflected on how quickly the run had reached its final night and explained that the band wanted to give fans more music, leaving less time for conversation.
The final show put that choice into practice. Accusefive completed its tenth song, 在這座城市遺失了你, before settling into its first extended conversation with the crowd. The long opening stretch kept the emphasis on singing rather than repeated pauses between songs.
Drummer Che Chien offered a lighter account of the physical effort involved. He said the movement onstage used about 1,300 calories per show and joked that he could enjoy a late night meal afterward. The figure was his own description of the experience, delivered as part of the band's conversation with fans.
The production also brought the main stage closer to the audience. Alongside the large screens and machinery, that layout supported a more direct exchange between the trio and the people requesting songs.
Requests Made Each Concert Different
Accusefive included a request segment on all three nights rather than repeating every part of the programme unchanged. Yun An said the band had prepared different surprises and songs for each performance. The finale included 一念之間, giving the last audience its own variation on the run.
The second night had brought singer Karen Mok to the stage for performances of 忽然之間 and 唯一. On the final night, additional songs included 短髮妹子, 愛的輪迴, 簡答題, 又到天黑 and 愚人遊戲. The changing selections gave fans something distinct to discuss after each concert.
Several audience members requested 又到天黑 at the finale. Yun An accompanied Chuan Ching on piano, with a pig figure he had painted himself sitting on the instrument. The small, personal object provided a contrast to the enormous machinery elsewhere in the production.
The request segment also gave the band room to joke. Che Chien tried choosing a song himself, prompting his bandmates to remind him that the selections were meant to come from the audience. Those exchanges restored some of the conversation that the opening run of ten songs had deliberately postponed.
A Paper Boat Shape, Ten Metres Above the Stage
Chuan Ching performed 帶你飛 from a specially built flying boat that rose about 10 metres, roughly the height of a building with three storeys. Its paper boat appearance prompted her to ask the team whether it was actually made of paper and whether insurance had been arranged.
Her comparison with an earlier concert explains why the new setup felt different. In 2023, she had performed standing on a platform raised about three metres. This time, the boat carried her more than three times that height, but she was seated rather than standing.
Chuan Ching said the seated position made her feel more secure than the earlier platform. During the song, the audience responded together to a lyric asking whether her beloved was still there, answering loudly from below.
The sequence tied the song's idea of flight to a visible stage action. Instead of relying only on images behind the singer, the production physically lifted her above the audience's usual sightline, while the collective response kept the performance connected to the crowd.
Giant Machinery and Five Changes of Costume
The Taipei production reportedly cost more than NT$100 million and featured eight major stage attractions. Among them was a rotating cantaloupe installation weighing 10 tonnes and standing about as tall as a building with six storeys. A large LED display stretched across the stage.
Up to five sets of custom stage clothes were prepared for each night. The opening outfits followed an ocean theme, matching the introductory video, with pearls, sequins and raised decorative stones. Chuan Ching wore a long silver grey coat whose fabric changed appearance under the lighting.
Later costumes shifted with the musical sections. Faster songs used colourful fabrics and moving fringe, while the acoustic section took a looser approach with graffiti details and irregular cuts. Chuan Ching changed into a white dress for that part of the show.
A later rock section incorporated British styling. For the encore, concert merchandise became stage clothing through cutting, joining and combinations with vintage pieces. The costume sequence helped mark changes in the programme, from the opening spectacle to the more relaxed return at the end.
Magic on Screen and Pressure for More Seats
The encore video featured magician 幻術大仙, whose social media videos were described as having accumulated 250 million views. His routine produced kumquats, lemons and apples before ending with a cantaloupe, carrying the fruit motif from the stage machinery into the filmed interlude.
Yun An said the magic sequence had been filmed in one continuous take without editing. He also described the band watching closely during filming. The video gave the audience another performance to follow between the main set and the encore.
Demand for the Taipei concerts brought a less welcome development: resale asking prices were reportedly as high as 15 times the original ticket price. Accusefive urged fans not to buy from scalpers and expressed concern about people spending hard earned money on inflated tickets.
Audience requests also reached beyond the announced tour stop. A fan's note referred to comfortable seats and room for 40,000 people, encouraging the band to perform at Taipei Dome. The group expressed an ambition to reach that larger venue, while the confirmed next concerts remain the two January dates at Kaohsiung Arena.
