Taiwan's highly popular rock band Mayday returned to Beijing on

The band will perform again at the Beijing Exhibition Theater on
Sunday.
The limited venue was jam-packed on Saturday. Some three
thousand fans turned up to see their idols.
Hit songs from Mayday's decade-long career were performed one

The five-member band has gained a large fan base in the Chinese
capital through several previous shows.
Jump the World Tour has already taken the band to Hong Kong in
May and Singapore in June.
They will next head to North America later in the month, playing
in Toronto, Vancouver and Los Angeles, before returning to Asia
with a show in Tokyo on October 7, then finally wrapping up the
tour in Shanghai on October 20.
