On December 31, 2025, the 2026 Taoyuan ON AIR New Year's Eve Party lights up Taoyuan across two venues at once - Rakuten Taoyuan Baseball Stadium in Qingpu and the Asia Silicon Valley IOT Outdoor Plaza. With "ON AIR" as its theme, the event brings together technology, local culture, sports elements, and cross-genre performances, drawing large crowds to celebrate New Year's Eve together.
Two Venues, Shared New Year's Eve Spirit
Rakuten Taoyuan Baseball Stadium serves as the main event venue. Admission is free, with entry arranged by zone and time slot, and overall crowd capacity is controlled throughout the night. At the same time, the Asia Silicon Valley IOT Outdoor Plaza sets up large live-broadcast screens and features a Starlight Market and warm-up performances, allowing more people to enjoy the New Year's Eve atmosphere outdoors.
Comprehensive Security, Tech-Enabled Safety
Both venues implement full security screening for attendees and carry-on items. Metal detectors, surveillance systems, and anti-drone interference equipment are used for on-site inspections and patrols. Police also deploy special task forces and K-9 units to support operations and ensure event safety.
A Star-Studded Lineup
Hosted jointly by multiple Golden Bell Award winners, the show features many popular Taiwanese singers. South Korean girl group Apink takes the finale slot, while a Golden Melody Award-winning band follows the countdown with back-to-back performances.
For the first time, the show also plans a cross-over collaboration between virtual and live performers, bringing together Japanese and Taiwanese virtual creators with on-stage artists in a seamless presentation. Among them, Ritsu - Taoyuan's local virtual idol - can provide real-time sign-language communication for audience members who are deaf or hard of hearing, showcasing the city's emphasis on inclusion.
Counting Down at a Championship Ballpark
The venue choice carries symbolic meaning: in 2025, the Rakuten Monkeys captured the Chinese Professional Baseball League's 36th-season championship amid adversity. At the countdown moment, the championship team's captain and vice-captain will take the stage with the crowd to welcome 2026 together, blending baseball glory with New Year's Eve joy.
2,520 Fireworks Light Up the New Year's Eve Sky
The countdown fireworks are launched from Qingpu Sports Park, totaling 2,520 shots. The largest shells reach heights of up to 130 meters and bloom to about 70 meters in diameter. Layered choreography symbolizes bidding farewell to 2025 and welcoming 2026, bringing New Year's Eve to a brilliant close.
