Check which venue is printed on your ticket before you book a hotel.
Taipei Arena: four runs in three weeks
Taipei Arena has its own MRT station, Taipei Arena (G17) on the Green Line. The venue's official listings give these times: XG World Tour THE CORE — Saturday 17 October. Doors 18:30, show 19:30. Tickets through KHAM. Charlie Puth, Whatever's Clever! World Tour — Tuesday 20 October. Doors 18:00, show 20:00. Tickets through tixCraft. MUSIC EXPO LIVE 2026 in TAIPEI — Sunday 25 October. Doors 16:30, show 18:00, expected finish 20:30. The Saturday 24 October show was cancelled because of the typhoon. On the 25th: NCT WISH, Sakurazaka46, &TEAM and ATEEZ, hosted by Sho Sakurai. Vaundy ASIA ARENA TOUR "HORO" in TAIPEI — 31 October and 1 November. Doors 17:30, show 19:00. The listing gives an expected finish of 21:00; treat it as an estimate, not a promise. We have not confirmed which of these still have tickets. Availability changes daily, so open the ticketing page for your date rather than relying on a list.
Kaohsiung: Fujii Kaze, 31 October
Fujii Kaze Prema World Tour comes to Kaohsiung National Stadium on Saturday 31 October at 19:00, according to the organiser's KKTIX page. The page does not state a door time, so wait for the organiser's entry notice before planning your arrival. The stadium is outdoors, in the north of the city. Take the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line to World Games (R17). It is the same night as Vaundy's first Taipei Arena show, and the two cities are at least an hour and a half apart by high-speed rail before local transit at each end, so you cannot do both.
Where to stay for each venue
Pick your base by venue, not by city. Taipei Arena: Nanjing Fuxing is about a 15-minute walk or one MRT stop. Ximen is a direct ride of about 12 minutes and costs less. Taipei Main Station needs one transfer. The last weekend of October has Vaundy on both nights, so rooms along the Green Line go early. Kaohsiung National Stadium: stay along the Red Line. Zuoying is one stop from the stadium and next to the High Speed Rail station. The Kaohsiung Arena area is three stops away and has a night market for a late dinner. Central Kaohsiung, about 20 minutes away without a transfer, has the widest choice of hotels. Our venue guides list specific hotels for each area, with walking times.
Before you travel
Check the organiser's latest notice in the week of the show. Door times, bag rules and crowd-control routes are often announced late. Save your ticket details offline: event name, date, entrance and seat. If your tickets are collected from a convenience-store kiosk, practise the steps before you go and keep the Chinese note for store staff on your phone. Plan the trip home before the show starts. Tens of thousands of people leave together, and the last trains do not wait.
What to do next
This is general guidance, not the rule for every show. Check the rules for your exact event.
