F4 Reunites Onstage After 12 Years at Mayday’s Taipei Dome Concert

F4 Stages Surprise Reunion After Over a Decade – Thanks to Mayday’s Magic Touch

Well, here’s one for the books – the legendary F4 are back on stage together after a whopping 12 years, and they did it in true superstar style. Taiwanese rock icons Mayday wrapped up their 25th anniversary concert tour on 12 July at the Taipei Dome, and pulled the ultimate nostalgia card by inviting none other than F4 as surprise guests. Yep, the OGs of idol drama – Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu, and Ken Chu – reunited under the dome lights, and fans absolutely lost it.

The crowd of 40,000 barely had time to process the intro chords of Meteor Rain before erupting into a full-on scream-fest. Suddenly, it wasn’t just a concert – it was 2001 all over again. The boys (now men in their 40s, but still serving charisma and brotherhood) strolled onto the stage like they never left it, singing their timeless hit as the entire venue turned into one massive karaoke party.

And it wasn’t just a solo throwback either. Mayday and F4 teamed up for a crossover performance of The Song of Laughter and Forgetting – a collab that sent shivers down spines and tears down cheeks. Vic Chou, ever the low-key one, admitted he’s actually a shy fan of Mayday, while Jerry Yan got visibly emotional thanking Mayday’s frontman Ashin for orchestrating the whole thing. 

Meanwhile, Vanness Wu casually helped Jerry adjust his in-ear monitors, quietly squashing those long-standing rumours of backstage drama. Ken Chu, in his usual dry humour, admitted he’d been “playing dumb” in interviews to keep the reunion hush-hush. “I kept saying I didn’t know anything,” he joked. “Now I can finally stop pretending!”

It was a short but sweet appearance, yet it’s got everyone talking: could this be the start of something more? F4 disbanded in 2009, only reuniting once at China’s 2013 Spring Festival Gala, and for years fans had all but given up hope.

Especially after Ken Chu bluntly said on livestream that while he’s not the first to reject an F4 project, he’s also not the last to say yes – basically, don’t hold your breath. Vic, on his part, once insisted that any reunion should be meaningful, “not just for the sake of making money.”

But something about this Taipei Dome moment felt different – relaxed, genuine, even healing.

Social media exploded post-concert with hashtags like #F4Reunion and #MeteorRainLives trending across Taiwan, China, and beyond. Fans are now pinning their hopes on a full F4 comeback tour in 2026, possibly marking the 25th anniversary of Meteor Garden's original airing. One Weibo fan commented, “I didn’t think I’d ever see this day. 2026 tour? Take my money already.” Another joked, “If F4 comes back, I’ll forgive the universe for everything else.”

Whether it was a one-off nostalgia bomb or the soft launch of something bigger, only time (and probably Ken’s next livestream) will tell. But for now, fans are basking in the glow of a long-overdue reunion – and quietly clearing space in their 2026 calendars, just in case.
