On the night of November 22, 2025, Mandopop queen Cyndi Wang officially kicked off the U.S. leg of her “Sugar High 2.0” world tour. Her first U.S. stop landed in Oakland, California, where she lit up the famed Oakland Arena with a spectacular opening show.
From the very first Opening VCR, the concert drew enthusiastic reactions from the audience. Cyndi set the tone with high-energy performances of “Bite Back,” “Baby Boy” (featuring a brand-new U.S.-exclusive chair dance in the encore), “Woosa Woosa,” “Honey,” and more, before transitioning into classics like “A Place I’ve Never Been,” “Moonlight” (extended outro version), and “Sugar High.” With its tight pacing and visually rich production, the show fully embodied the signature style and vibrant energy of Sugarland. For the Oakland performance, “Wedding Dress of Flowers” featured a special added sing-along bridge; as soon as the intro began, the entire arena joined in chorus—one of the night’s most touching interactive moments.
Arriving Early to Recharge — Moments in San Francisco Become Creative Fuel on Stage
Performing in the U.S. for the first time, Cyndi also shared her heartfelt thoughts on stage:“I arrived in San Francisco a few days early to get ready. Besides adjusting to the time difference so I could be at my best tonight, I went to the MoMA, Fisherman’s Wharf, watched the sea and the sea lions, rode a Ferris wheel, and drank hot chocolate. And every day ended with tequila shots — my good friend helping me defeat jet lag. These scenes, these feelings, these little moments… they’ve all become the energy that lets me stand here and give myself fully to you tonight.”
U.S.-Exclusive Version — Iconic Segments Presented in Full
To prepare for her first shows in the United States, Cyndi and her production team fine-tuned the show structure, stage movement patterns, and setlist arrangement. This resulted in the “Sugar High 2.0 — U.S. Special Edition,” featuring adjustments tailored for American venues and audiences. In addition to the newly arranged encore chair dance for “Baby Boy,” fan-favorite segments such as the legendary “Diamond Rain” and the “20-Minute Limited-Time Song Request Session” also returned in Oakland, allowing U.S. fans to fully experience the multi-dimensional charm of Sugar High 2.0.
Next Stop: New York — Sugar Land Takes Over the East Coast
After a triumphant night in Oakland, the tour team quickly set off for the next destination: New York City. Cyndi will take the stage at The Theater at Madison Square Garden (The Theater at MSG) at 8:30 p.m. ET on November 28, bringing East Coast audiences a dazzling, high-energy Sugar Land experience and continuing the rising momentum of the Sugar High 2.0 phenomenon.
