Marx's music has left an indelible mark on Chinese audiences, especially during the 1990s when his tapes were bestsellers and timeless hits such as "Right Here Waiting" and "Now and Forever" became a source of inspiration for many learning English.

His romantic ballads and powerful vocals have been a constant presence through the years, from cassette tapes to digital playlists.

The upcoming concert promises to be an unforgettable experience for Shanghai fans, with Marx delivering his signature live performances that have earned him multiple Grammy Awards and American Music Awards.

Fans can expect to hear all their favorite tracks, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard" and "Endless Summer Nights," each one evoking deep emotions and cherished memories.

Tickets for the Shanghai concert are now on pre-sale on ticketing platforms including Damai (大麦), Maoyan (猫眼), and Piaoxingqiu (票星球) apps and their mini-programs. This is a rare opportunity for fans to relive the magic of Marx's music and sing along to the songs that have been part of their lives for decades.
