Cantopop star Nicholas Tse Ting-fung has wrapped up his four-day run of concerts at Kai Tak Sports Park, attracting tens of thousands of fans and the city’s leader, with observers saying such mega-events will boost the city’s soft power and economy.
Tse’s previous solo concert in the city was in 2000 at the Hong Kong Coliseum, and the intervening years have not dampened his appeal to fans.
Tickets for his “Evolution Nic Live” series of shows at Kai Tak Stadium sold out within 15 minutes of public release.
A source also confirmed city leader John Lee Ka-chiu was invited to the final show on Sunday night.
According to Kai Tak Sports Park, the shows from Thursday to Sunday, as well as a K-pop concert on Saturday, attracted an audience of 180,000.
After the earlier shows, concertgoers were seen streaming out of the stadium while singing Tse’s classic tunes as they made their way to the nearby MTR station.
