Hong Kong – Pop vocalist Janice Vidal will return to the Hong Kong Coliseum in November for a three-concert series commemorating two decades in the music industry, her promoters announced Wednesday. The shows, titled Janice Vidal OUT OF FRAME World Tour, are set for Nov. 14, 15 and 17 at the iconic Hung Hom venue. Tickets, priced at HK$1,180, HK$880 and HK$580, will be available via credit card pre-sale from Sept. 28, with general sales on Cityline starting Oct. 8.
The engagement marks Vidal’s first Red Hall appearance as an independent artist, following her departure from a major label in recent years. It also caps the 20th anniversary of her breakthrough in 2005, when her debut albums Day & Night and My Love swept Hong Kong’s major music awards. Her early hits, from “Big Brother” to “Restless” and “Leaving Home,” have since become staples for generations of listeners across the 80s, 90s and 2000s.
In a press statement, Vidal described the homecoming as the emotional centerpiece of her ongoing OUT OF FRAME tour. “I’ve been doing the 20th-anniversary tour, and I really wanted the final stop to be at my home, Hong Kong,” she said. “About two or three years ago, I left my previous record company and stepped out of my comfort zone to become an independent singer. The message of OUT OF FRAME is that you can always step out of your comfort zone to do what you love.”
Vidal acknowledged that her first Red Hall concert, which came just two years after her debut, remains a vivid but nervous memory. “I remember feeling crazy and extremely nervous — I’ve forgotten many details except the anxiety,” she recalled. “But I’m really looking forward to this one. I love the Hong Kong audience, and I can’t wait to sing for them.”
The singer hinted at a livelier setlist than her previous shows. “I’d like to include more dancing — it’s so much fun — and more upbeat songs. I want to turn the concert into a party. I’ve had too many ballads,” she added.
From Stage Fright to Self-Acceptance
Vidal, who describes herself as a classic introvert — using the popular Cantonese shorthand “I-people” — said she has learned to manage stage anxiety over the years. “When I first stood on big stages, my mind would go blank,” she shared. “Now I know that every experience, good or bad, is valuable. Just move on. Being able to continue singing for the audience is already enough for me.”
The concerts are presented by Tehao Entertainment and are part of a global tour that has already visited several cities abroad. With the Red Hall run, Vidal aims to close the anniversary chapter on a high note, embracing both her legacy and her newfound independence.
