Leehom Wang Brings 'The Best Place II' to Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Dec. 12; Hefei Stop Marks Tour's First Stadium Shows
Leehom Wang's North American plans are set. On October 1, Wang's official website announced that "The Best Place II" world tour will come to New York on December 12, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn; on October 7, the site confirmed that tickets for the New York show were on sale. The venue's schedule lists the concert for 8 p.m. on December 12 at 620 Atlantic Avenue. The same North American leg also includes Hamilton, Canada, on December 9, Inglewood, California, on December 16, and San Jose on December 19.
The New York announcement followed a milestone stop at home: on October 3 and 4, the tour played two consecutive nights at Hefei Sports Center Stadium in Hefei. According to Sina Entertainment, it was the tour's first upgrade from indoor arenas to a stadium, with a four-sided stage, an extending bridge and a ring screen, and rearranged songs.
The Hefei shows also featured rapper Vinida (Wan Nida) as guest performer, sharing a stage with Wang in person for the first time. The pair performed three songs together — "Mistakes in the Flower Field," "Heroes of the World" and Vinida's own "Colorful World" — following an earlier on-screen interaction on a variety show. Wang also used the Hefei stage to announce, before performing "Come What May," that a new song is on the way. He later posted on his official channels recalling the Hefei collaboration with Vinida.
