After three years of absence, Shanghai once again welcomed an indoor concert of European and American artists with a capacity of tens of thousands. On the evenings of September 8th and September 9th, the first Chinese concert of "Chasing Dreams Across the World" by Xicheng Boys was held at the Mercedes Benz Cultural Center, with all seats filled and the audience enthusiastic. With their numerous popular classic songs and latest ones, Xicheng Boys brought a music festival of surging memories and blooming youth to Chinese fans. The two consecutive nights of performance attracted over 20000 spectators to watch the performance live.

 

Returning to the stage of China again, the Xicheng boy was quite moved. They said that it has been nearly twenty years since their first visit to China, and perhaps there is no other fan in the world who can support them for so long like Chinese fans. For this reason, several singers use standard Chinese to say "thank you" and "LoveShanghai" has become a high-frequency word in their mouths.
