LEGENDARY drummer and co-founder of Hong Kong rock band BEYOND, Yip Sai Wing will bring his ‘YOU & ME’ World Tour to Australia in May 2025.
Celebrating the legacy of one of the most influential rock bands in the Chinese-speaking world, the ‘YOU & Me’ World Tour will stop by ICC Sydney Theatre on May 15 and Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on May 17. These will be the first concerts in Australia for Yip Sai Wing who will perform BEYOND songs that set to recreate nostalgic moments with fans.
The theme “YOU & ME” is inspired from the idea of redefining and reigniting the impulsivity of rock music. Rock legend Yip Sai Wing will be jamming BEYOND’s evergreen classic songs with fresh and dynamic re-arrangements, injecting new breed and soul to each song. Complemented with sophisticated stage design and sound-light effects, the tour has drawn overwhelming response and since 2022 has toured major cities such as Singapore, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Zhangbei, Malaysia.
BEYOND, a Hong Kong rock band formed in 1983, consisted of four members named Wong Ka Kui, Yip Sai Wing, Tang Wai Him and Lee Wing Chiu and is one of the most representative rock bands in the Chinese music scene. The band busted into the mainstream music scene and dominated the Cantopop music industry in the 80s with their original catchy and inspirational songs. In 1993, the news of the passing of lead vocalist Wong Ka Kui broke the hearts of millions. After the tragedy, the band continued to perform as trio before its official disbandment in 2005. For over four decades, BEYOND’s music remains as an evergreen and their popular anthems still strike a chord with anyone growing up to their tunes. Their hit songs included “Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies,” “The Glorious Years,” “Truly Love You,” “Never Doubt You” and “Like You,” etc. Even though the band has been officially disbanded for more than two decades now, its influence remains strong and to this day is still known as Hong Kong’s most legendary rock band. Fans can expect a powerful retrospective that revisits youthful dreams and celebrates decades of music that have shaped and inspired multiple generations.
