Taiwan will be airing the show live with Eric Tsang's daughter, Bowie Tsang, hosting the show. According to estimates, over 1,000 artists signed up for tickets to the show.

Organizers had originally planned for one of Lydia Shum's most admired singers, Eason Chan, to perform, but with prior obligations it doesn't seem likely Eason will make an appearance. Also originally planned to perform is Lydia Shum's daughter Joyce Cheng. Organizers wanted her to perform the song 連心 with Joseph Koo, but as her emotions have not stabilized she has decided to not perform. Organizers do not want to force her, but they still have hopes she will perform 連心 and 報答. Elisa Chan is set to perform for 4 minutes.
