The Comeback Tour was a concert tour in Asia by Chinese diva Faye Wong , marking her return to public performance after several years of concentrating on her family.
She began her return in February 2010, performing at the CCTV New Year's Gala watched by over 700 million people, covering Li Jian's ballad "Legend". [2] Later in July 2010, she first announced a series of comeback concerts starting from 29 October 2010 onwards, namely 5 in Beijing and another 5 in Shanghai. To satisfy huge overseas market demand, she declared to have more concerts in other cities of Mainland China, Taipei in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and also Singapore. [3]
Despite her lengthy absence, interest in the concert tickets was overwhelming: in Mainland China tickets worth nearly 200 million yuan (US$29 million) were taken up in just 10 days [4] while in Taiwan the computerized ticketing system crashed due to excessive traffic, and 90 percent of the tickets were sold within two hours after it was restored. [5] The story repeated itself in Hong Kong, [6] with 93% of the tickets gone in one morning and 2 ticketing phone lines added to the 3 existing one, to catch up with the huge demand. [7]
The theme of the concert tour was Four Seasons and Reborn. It was held across many cities throughout the years from October 2010 to June 2012.
