Background

On April 6, 2017, at the tour announcement press conference, Xue shared his interpretation of concert (演唱会): 演 means acting, 唱 means singing, and 会 means meeting; the concert will incorporate all three elements to create "an unique music story." [2]

Concert Synposis

Nearly a decade after Xue's last concert, he returned with I Think I've Seen You Somewhere tour, named after the song off of the album Beginner and served as the concept for the tour. Inspired by his own life, Xue brought the numerous roles he held (restaurant owner, actor, comedian, singer...etc.) over the past ten years to the stage. Through a 40-minute stage play in the second half, each role gradually disappeared until only the role of a singer remained, symbolizing Xue's ultimate dream realized and dedication to his music. [3]

Commercial performance

In the April 2017 Top 10 Concert Index, Xue's Shenzhen stop ranked second with a comprehensive index of 153.2, the first being Jacky Cheung. [4] On May 9, when tickets for the Shanghai stop went on sale, the ticket sales website crashed from the high volume of traffic. [5] Among the 2017 Top 10 Concert Box Office Ranking, "I Think I've Seen You Somewhere" came in second of all mainland China performers and ninth of all Chinese performers. [6]
