Banding together to change their tune

Six bands perform adapted versions of auspicious songs onstage especially for Spring Festival holiday, the Year of the Tiger, with a vigor that enthralls viewers. The bands consist of singers and instrumentalists who have already established their reputation but have rarely, before the series, played together.

As the participants interact with one another, adapting classic songs and writing new ones, a band will eventually be formed to perform onstage.

The variety show aims to attract an audience of both the old and the young, so the production team invited celebrities of different ages, with their own characteristics.

Viewers can enjoy more than 90 songs, collaborated on by household names such as Rainie Yang, Yang Kun and Zhang Yadong.

"Our ultimate aim is to help the participants to find their soul mates in music via social contact with each other during our 58-day shoot," says Fan Jiaju, the variety show's chief director and scriptwriter.
