A calendar so full of shows and restaurants that there was always somewhere to be: that was the Taipei we loved, and also the hardest part to keep up with. This page gathers what's on in one place, from arena concerts and big fairs at the convention centers to small live houses and comedy nights, each with its dates, venue, nearest MRT station and where tickets are sold. We update it every week.
About tickets: we don't sell tickets and aren't connected to any seller. For each event we name the channel the organizer or venue itself points to, so you can check it and buy there. Details change, so confirm on the official page before you go, and never buy from resellers or from strangers on social media. → How buying tickets in Taipei works
