12月19日、20日，金曲創作才子韋禮安接連兩天在臺北流行音樂中心舉辦「而立之後」演唱會。兩場演唱會開賣立刻秒殺，在而立之年遭逢人生重大轉折的韋禮安，經歷過低潮期，靠著音樂獲得坦然，他將這一路的歷練與人生的高低起伏淬鍊成音符，用他溫暖卻極具力量的嗓音，將每一個情緒轉折揉合進演唱會上，帶領現場歌迷一同經歷而立之後的人生體悟，感動全場。
On 19 and 20 December, WeiBird held a two-night concert at the Taiwan Pop Music Center. Titled After Thirty, both shows sold out within minutes. Before becoming independent, WeiBird met with a series of life-changing events. He experienced its highs and lows but through it all, he sought peace in music. For this concert, he transformed all those moments into musical notes and used his warm, powerful voice to perform them on stage. Together, WeiBird and the audience went on a journey of life’s up and downs.
從「而立之前」到「而立之後」
在經歷中探討人生課題
演唱會以「而立之年」前後的人生經歷與體悟揭開序幕，到內心的「取」與「舍」，再至探討人生避不開的課題「失去」，最後「坦然」而豁然開朗，韋禮安用精湛的唱功在每段主題中，將內心的情緒唱進現場每一位歌迷的心裡，完整傳達「無論人生經歷了什麼，都要持續向前走」的演唱會核心訊息。全場演唱27首經典曲目，以充滿生命力的Live演繹，情緒的轉換和堆砌相互呼應，收放自如的演出，讓期待已久的粉絲直呼超過癮。
The After Thirty concert used the overarching theme of independence to get the show rolling. From its gains to sacrifices, all the way to the unavoidable topic of loss. WeiBird used his skillful singing to powerfully communicate each emotion into the heart of every fan and convey the message: 「No matter the obstacles, we always have to trudge ahead」. Throughout the entire setlist of 27 songs, WeiBird’s invigorating live performances left eager fans wanting more.
不同於大部分演唱會熱鬧的開場，「而立之後」演唱會以全場暗燈、僅以環境音引領現場歌迷將注意力集中在耳朵上，隨後韋禮安的歌聲穿透黑暗畫出光芒，以《Sound Of My Life》揭開序幕。在連唱《See You On Monday》、《轟炸》後開口向全場宣告：「我是韋禮安，我回來了！」隨後，他背起吉他自彈自唱代表生命歷程的歌曲《而立》，接著演唱《房客》、《因為愛》，同時大屏幕一一回顧韋禮安每次演出與歌迷的大合照，呈現出他對歌迷一路支持的感謝之意。
Unlike other concert openings, After Thirty began with dimmed lights and surround sound, prompting fans to focus their attention on the performance. WeiBird’s voice reverberated through the darkness as he opened the concert with the song, Sounds of My Life. After performing See You on Monday and Bombing, he went on to greet the audience— 「Hi everyone, I’m WeiBird and I’m back!」 Later, he brought out his guitar and performed three songs: an acoustic serenade of his representative track At Thirty, Toothbrush, and Because of Love. Each time, the main concert screen would display photos of WeiBird with his fans as a sign of gratitude to those that have supported him along the way.
當大熒幕播放起主題為「捨得/捨不得」的VCR，韋禮安娓娓道出這段時間的體悟。進入這個階段的情緒，再度登場的韋禮安站在舞臺中的小房間中，彷彿陷入情緒的漩渦演唱《心醉心碎》。演出到一半韋禮安走下舞臺，代表他走出內心世界的小房間，走到史上最貼近歌迷的子舞臺近距離演出，全場瞬間沸騰，尖叫不停，韋禮安直說：「剛剛的演出好像帶你們進到我的房間裡，有種非常赤裸的感覺。」隨即霸氣打趣說：「你們通通給我出去！」逗得全場粉絲大樂！
While the main concert screen played the VCR, WeiBird would occasionally narrate his past experiences. After a certain point, he re-entered the stage set up as a small room. As if submerged in a whirlpool of emotions, he began singing 心醉心碎. Halfway through the song, WeiBird walked off stage, towards the center where all his fans were, to give an intimate performance. The crowd went hysterical and screams could be heard all over. 「With the previous performance, it felt as if I brought you into my room––I feel exposed」, said WeiBird. As the audience laughed, he started teasing, 「It’s time for all of you to get out!」
12月19日晚，當韋禮安演唱出道第一首歌曲《慢慢等》時，金曲歌后魏如萱驚喜現身，瞬間引爆現場歌迷的情緒，全場歡聲雷動，兩位金曲認證的實力派唱將以完美合聲互相幫襯，接著再合唱魏如萱超催淚歌曲《彼個所在》，全場聽得如痴如醉。韋禮安透露：「這次演唱會我第一個想到要邀請的嘉賓就是魏如萱，我們有很深的緣分，出道上的第一個通告就是魏如萱的電臺訪問，她可以說是看著我長大的。」
On the night of 19 December, while WeiBird was singing his debut song, Slowly Wait, Golden Melody songstress Waa Wei made a surprise appearance. The crowd quickly erupted into cheers. The duo beautifully brought the song to its end before proceeding to perform an emotional rendition of Waa Wei’s Heaven. The entire audience was enthralled while WeiBird shyly admitted, 「The first guest I thought of inviting for this concert was Waa Wei. We go all the way back. My first public appearance was actually on Waa Wei’s radio show so you could say that she saw me grow up!」
當唱到《沒有你的世界》時，現場以讓人震撼的破碎玻璃視覺，塑造出動搖的內心和即將崩壞的過程，引出該階段的主題「失去」與「坦然」。隨即，韋禮安接連演唱《沉船》、《有沒有》、《不用告訴我》等歌曲，用更加內斂的唱腔與單一色系的視覺引領歌迷進入歌曲情境。
While singing 沒有你的世界, the stage transformed into broken glass, bringing to life the emotions: Loss and Calmness. Shortly after, WeiBird performed Sinking Ship, Have or Have Not, Don’t Tell, amongst many other songs. Using a softer tone and monochromatic stage designs, it transported the audience into the core of each song.
當晚的安可部分，韋禮安特別首唱了他為HBO劇集《戒指流浪記》量身打造的片頭曲《請你嫁給我》。這也是他暌違大半年再推出的全新單曲，用跳動的音符與色彩繽紛的視覺效果呈現求婚時的喜悅，讓歌迷直喊：「太幸福了！」氣氛升高後，現場立刻響起演唱會必唱曲《女孩》前奏，現場歌迷尖叫久久不停，全場大聲合唱。
For that night's encore, WeiBird performed the opening theme song, Marry Me, from the HBO drama Adventure of the Ring. It’s been a while since he last released a single! With exciting melodies and colourful displays, he perfectly described the blissfulness of marriage. The audience could not help but swoon, exclaiming, 「So blissful!」. As the atmosphere grew heated, the prelude for Girl starting playing and the audience cheered nonstop, singing along to its tune as it went on.
最後，韋禮安拿起吉他演唱《記得回來》，全場亢奮的情緒漸漸沉澱，配上筆直前進的公路視覺，重新細數整場演唱會想傳達的心境轉換，全場沉浸在韋禮安溫暖又深情的歌聲中，他也向歌迷喊話第二天還有一場演唱會，記得回來，「時候到了，我會再回來，希望到時候也都可以再看到你們！」
Finally, WeiBird picked up his guitar one last time to perform I』ll Be Here and slowly, the excitement from the previous song settled. The screens projected a straight road and as the audience immersed themselves into WeiBird’s warm, soothing voice, everyone began recounting the many emotional moments that happened throughout the night. Before coming to the finale, the singer excitedly reminded them that there was one more show the next day. 「Time’s up but I』ll be back. I hope to see you all again soon!」
再現《浪流連》
原唱茄子蛋樂團驚喜現身
12月20日，演出第二天，「而立之後」演唱會精彩繼續。演出加碼演唱《山腰上的羊》、《知道》、《迷路》等歌曲，韋禮安還特別翻唱了他摰愛的臺語歌《浪流連》，原唱茄子蛋樂團更是驚喜現身，帶動全場跟著大合唱。四人也重現韋禮安拎啤酒瓶演唱的經典橋段，之後接著再演唱經典情歌《因為愛》，都讓歌迷聽得太呼過癮！能促成這場合作，韋禮安說：「超犀利趴選唱了《浪流連》，唱得很爽！沒想到之後收到茄子蛋成員傳訊息給我，說他們也喜歡我的版本，真的很開心，就想不如就邀原唱跟我合作，他們馬上答應，實在是太棒了！」茄子蛋也笑說：「沒想到韋禮安有這樣的唱歌方式，且竟然找我們合唱！而且韋禮安的歌這麼好聽，一定要合作啊！」
20 December––The excitement continued onto Day 2 of After Thirty. WeiBird performed 山腰上的羊, Know, Lost and even a cover of a Taiwanese song he loved, Waves Wandering. Its original singers, EggPlantEgg, made a special appearance, prompting the entire audience to a singalong! With beer bottles on hand, the quartet continued onto their next song, 因為愛. Excited that this collaboration became a reality, WeiBird said, 「I first sang Waves Wandering at Super Slippa, it was awesome! I didn’t expect myself to receive a message from EggPlantEgg––They said they enjoyed my cover and they were really happy. When I suggested a collaboration, they immediately agreed. It was amazing!」 EggPlantEgg laughed in response, 「I never thought WeiBird would ask for a collaboration with a voice like this! He was so good, we just had to agree!」
「而立之後」的韋禮安，在心境上更加坦然，在演唱會上演唱《好天氣》象徵烏雲散去後的雨過天晴；在演唱《貓咪共和國》之前，大熒幕出現手繪貓咪，配合貓奴韋禮安帶領全場粉絲齊聲唱「喵」，畫面超萌！而演唱到經典歌曲《還是會》，大熒幕出現超可愛的「Q版海獅」，呼應歌迷們時常與韋禮安的互動將「還是會」唱成「海獅會」，現場更灑下「海獅造型氣球」讓歌迷可以有個驚喜的小禮物。20日的安可在接連演唱新歌《請你嫁給我》和《女孩》後，韋禮安也再次拿起吉他演唱《I Wrote a Song For You》，這首歌是韋禮安感謝歌迷自出道以來一路相伴的歌曲，帶動全場暖心大合唱，為連續兩天的「而立之後」演唱會畫下完美句點。
After turning Thirty, WeiBird became much calmer. During the concert, he sang Good Weather to reference the sunny skies that appear after a bout of rain. Before performing Cat Republic, drawings of various cats appeared on the main concert screen, prompting WeiBird to lead the audience into a collective meow. Then when it was time to perform the classic, Still, a cartoon seal appeared onscreen and balloons started dropping from the ceiling––it was WeiBird’s surprise for his fans. Ending the encore for the night with Marry Me and Girl, WeiBird picked up his guitar for a final performance of I Wrote A Song for You as a way of thanking the fans who have followed him since his debut. The entire hall started singing along, bringing the final night of After Thirty to a beautiful close.
此次演唱會的總導演馨儀，將自己的導演處女秀獻給了韋禮安，兩人原本是因魚丁糸的團員介紹相識，透過私下合作機會漸漸變熟，韋禮安感受到馨儀對演唱會的熱情，決定將重返大型個唱舞臺交給馨儀掌舵，這段期間，兩人密集討論，彼此對演唱會和音樂都是百分百投入，進而培養出絕佳默契，聯手打造出這場讓人驚豔、音樂性和可看性兼具的「而立之後」演唱會。
Xin Yi was the overall director for this concert, and it was her maiden attempt at producing something of this scale. The duo got acquainted through a mutual friend from Oaeen and grew closer as they started working together. WeiBird could feel Xin Yi’s passion so he left the latter to helm this concert. During this period, they communicated closely and invested their all into producing the show and its music. Their great synergy presented us with thismasterpiece of a concert, one that was packed to the brim with audio and visual surprises.
