More than two decades after F4 last performed at Bangkok's IMPACT Arena, three members of the legendary Mandopop group are set to return to the iconic venue for a reunion that many fans have spent years waiting for.
On 1 and 2 August, F✦FOREVER 1st World Tour will arrive at IMPACT Arena, bringing together Jerry Yan, Van Ness Wu, Vic Chou, and Ashin, the lead vocalist of Mayday, for two nights celebrating friendship, nostalgia, and some of Mandopop's most enduring songs.
The Bangkok stop forms part of the group's Southeast Asia run, following an explosive series of concerts across the region. Before heading to Thailand, F✦FOREVER played three consecutive nights at Indonesia Arena, where all 45,000 tickets sold out within seconds. The concerts saw thousands of fans singing along in Mandarin, creating one of the tour's most memorable moments and underscoring the lasting popularity of the project across Southeast Asia.
The regional tour continues with performances in Manila, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore, giving longtime fans throughout the region another opportunity to experience the limited project live.
For Thai audiences, the concerts carry particular emotional weight. F4 became a defining cultural phenomenon across Asia through Meteor Garden, and their music remains closely tied to a generation that grew up with the Taiwanese drama. Returning to the very same venue where F4 performed in August 2004, Jerry Yan, Van Ness Wu, and Vic Chou are set to revisit a chapter that helped shape Asian pop culture, this time joined by Ashin, whose work with Mayday has soundtracked another generation of Mandarin music fans.
Fans can expect a setlist spanning both new material and beloved classics. Signature songs including 'Meteor Rain', 'Can't Lose You', 'Season of Fireworks', and 'The First Time' have all been newly rearranged for the tour, while newer releases such as 'Forever Forever'—a collaboration co-created by Jay Chou and Ashin—and 'Always Be My Bro' will also be performed live.
The production itself is one of the tour's biggest talking points. Backed by an investment of approximately NTD250 million and supported by nearly 300 crew members, the show has been designed as an immersive arena experience.
A specially designed four-point star-shaped stage allows the four performers to move closer to audiences from every direction, while towering crystal-inspired structures, elaborate lighting effects, and expansive visual production transform the venue into what organisers describe as a "City of Stars". Throughout the evening, fans can also expect around 20 different stage outfits showcasing each performer's distinct style.
Beyond the group performances, each member will also take centre stage during dedicated solo segments.
Van Ness Wu is expected to perform material from his latest album Dance Until We Die, bringing his trademark choreography and the viral "Triple Shake" dance phenomenon to the stage.
Vic Chou will revisit favourites including 'The Most Special One' and 'Love in Loving You', alongside newer songs such as 'Who Gave Me the Courage' and 'Tell Me Why'.
Jerry Yan's segment will feature emotional performances of unreleased songs 'Luxury' and 'Insomnia Letter', as well as 'I Really Love You', offering fans a more intimate glimpse into his current musical journey.
Meanwhile, Ashin will perform songs that have become staples of Mayday's catalogue, including 'World Crazy', 'Stubborn', and 'Fool', highlighting the songwriting that has made him one of Mandopop's most celebrated lyricists.
The concert is set to unfold through five thematic chapters—Faith, Friends, Fans, Family, and Fixed Stars—bringing together the group's past and present while celebrating the connection they've built with audiences over the years.
F✦FOREVER itself is a special limited project uniting Jerry Yan, Van Ness Wu, and Vic Chou with Ashin. Since launching, the tour has already completed 19 shows across major Chinese cities including Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Chongqing before expanding into Southeast Asia in response to overwhelming demand.
