^"薛之谦微博: 为何大型巡演 一到了海外都会选择 大变小 进馆进剧院 减配 速搭台 改内容 等方式来完成演出 一来是运输困难 巨型设备需漂洋过海 二来搭建难题 海外大场地搭台档期工期都会让成本昂贵 所以 经过长时间多方面协调 请准我 食言这半次... 因为这件事 现在的我不做 暮年时 定会遗憾 对所有国内的谦友说声抱歉... 天外来物 将携满编满配完整版 去海外体育场 返场 共7站 小半年 心意已决 望你谅解 我去去就回 你切勿跟随" [Joker Xue's Weibo: Why do large-scale tours choose to reduce the scope when overseas, change venue to theater, reduce the equipment, quickly set up the stage, change the content, etc? First, it is difficult to transport large equipment across the ocean. Second, it is difficult to set up the stage in a large overseas venue. The schedule and construction period will increase the cost. So, after a long time of coordinating many aspects, please allow me to half-break my promise this time... Because if I don’t do it now, I will regret it in my old age. I say sorry to all my friends in China... Extraterrestrial will bring the full version to overseas stadiums, returning for 7 stops spanning half a year. I have made up my mind. I hope you can understand. I will be back soon. Please don't follow me.]. Weibo (in Chinese). October 15, 2024.
