The MIKU WITH YOU concerts will be making a return once again this time in the two great cities of China, Beijing and Shanghai, according to the leaks from the Chinese government. The concerts will take place at the M Space venue on October 13th~14th and at the Shipyard 1862 venue on October 27th~28th for the Beijing and Shanghai performances, respectively.

In addition to the mentioned details, a concert setlist for Beijing performance is also out. The official announcement and main visual art will likely be shown soon. Below is the concert setlist for Beijing performance*.

*The setlist is likely subjected to future changes due to the missing entry in the list titled “Pick Me Up” by Demon, a winning entry from the “MIKU WITH YOU” song contest held earlier this year. Stay tuned for more info.
