Ding also says that the two companies share the same vision for live music as Zepp Hall Network, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, holds many international tours.

Speaking about its plans, Enrique Shen, the deputy general manager of domestic marketing & artist management development, Sony Music Entertainment, says: "Many great musicians have launched their careers with live shows first. So, our links will help blaze a trail for the Chinese music industry, while creating touring opportunities for Chinese and international artists."
