It's going to be a big concert summer for the DJ duo of Eric Kot Man-fai and Jan Lamb Hoi-fung, otherwise known under their performance name as Softhard. But they seem to be the only Hong Kong artists enjoying a run of shows at the Coliseum in these warm months. Of the nine concert series booked so far, Softhard and Grasshopper are the only locals. All other acts are from across the strait.
Softhard's concert series Long Time No See is indeed a reunion. The last time the two radio jocks performed on stage together was in 1993. So in demand are the shows, they've just extended three more nights to run from July 27 to August 2.
Still, the tickets were all snapped up in four hours this week.
As for the seven Taiwanese acts filling the Coliseum this summer, they are Jolin Tsai Yi-lin, Wang Lee-hom, Jonathan Li Zhongchen, S.H.E., Jeff Chang Shin-che and Richie Jen Hsien-chi with Huang Pin-yuan. It's a Taiwan invasion.
