In 2021, Caotai Echo's special planned series of performances-"Giant Blue Bluebloom", the huge blue bubbles will be rolled and boiled in Beijing Music Space and Shenzhen HOU Live on 4.30 and 5.16 respectively. The "Giant Blue" series of performances will look for new or long-lost bands all over the country. The style is not important. It only cares about whether it can create an illusory and romantic blue illusion. Imagine the giant blue sky above the giant blue feet. Waves, as for whether to go out with reinforced concrete or loess, I don't care about it for the time being.
