The theme “YOU & ME” is inspired from the idea of redefining and reigniting the impulsivity of rock music. Rock legend Yip Sai Wing will be jamming BEYOND’s evergreen classic songs with fresh and dynamic re-arrangements, injecting new breed and soul to each song. Complemented with sophisticated stage design and sound-light effects, the tour has drawn overwhelming response and since 2022 has toured major cities such as Singapore, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Zhangbei, Malaysia .

BEYOND, a Hong Kong rock band formed in 1983, consisted of four members named Wong Ka Kui, Yip Sai Wing, Tang Wai Him and Lee Wing Chiu and is one of the most representative rock bands in the Chinese music scene. The band busted into the mainstream music scene and dominated the Cantopop music industry in the 80s with their original catchy and inspirational songs. In 1993, the news of the passing of lead vocalist Wong Ka Kui broke the hearts of millions. After the tragedy, the band continued to perform as trio before its official disbandment in 2005. For over four decades, BEYOND’s music remains as an evergreen and their popular anthems still strike a chord with anyone growing up to their tunes. Their hit songs included “Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies,” “The Glorious Years,” “Truly Love You,” “Never Doubt You” and “Like You,” etc. Even though the band has been officially disbanded for more than two decade now, its influence remains strong and to this day is still known as Hong Kong's most legendary rock band. Fans can expect a powerful retrospective that revisits youthful dreams and celebrates decades of music that have shaped and inspired multiple generations.

ABOUT YIP SAI WING:
Yip Sai Wing (叶世荣), born on August 19, 1963, in Hong Kong, is a Hong Kong male singer and musician, as well as the drummer and founding member of the rock band Beyond. In 1983, he formed the band Beyond with Wong Ka Kui and others, taking on the role of the drummer. During his time with the band, Yip Sai Wing contributed to many classic songs, including Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies (海阔天空), Glorious Years (光辉岁月), Truly Love You (真的爱你), No More Hesitation (不再犹豫), I Like You (喜欢你), Goodbye Ideal (再见理想), Complete Possession (完全的拥有), Lover (情人), and Footprints of the Past (旧日的足迹), among others.

Yip Sai Wing attended several schools in his early years, including Salesian School, Salesian English School, Islamic Dharavi Memorial Secondary School, and New Method College. During his high school years, he was introduced to British rock music. Encouraged by his school and family, he began learning to play the drums and formed a band with his friends. After graduating from the pre-university program at New Method College, he failed to get into university and began working in the insurance industry as a broker at Tugu Insurance Company.

It was at a music store that he met Wong Ka Kui, and they became friends after discovering they both liked David Bowie. Later, Yip Sai Wing played drums while Wong Ka Kui played guitar, and the two joined various bands together. In 1983, to participate in a band competition, they, along with two friends, Deng Wei Qian (also known as Wu Lin, English name William) and Li Rong Chao, officially formed the band Beyond. After several lineup changes, they were eventually joined by bassist Wong Ka Keung and lead guitarist Wong Koon Chung, which led to their manager, Chan Kin Tim, bringing them into the Hong Kong music scene.

After years of hard work, Beyond became one of the most influential bands in Hong Kong. Known for his skill in handling paperwork and his more rational approach to dealing with matters, Yip Sai Wing was responsible for the early contract and financial affairs of Beyond. For the sake of the band, he once convinced his parents that he was getting married and tricked them into giving him a small room in their property to practice. (This place later became Beyond's headquarters, known as the "Second Floor Rear Portion.")
