(Central News Agency reporter Hong Sujin, Taipei, 6th) The 'ID. Music Festival' today brought together 14 groups of trendy musicians for a relay-style concert at Huashan 1914 Creative Park. Among them, Ideal Bastards and Kao Er-xuan delivered a surprise collaboration. Kao Er-xuan jokingly volunteered to join the band and proposed renaming the group 'Bastard Er-xuan'. Ideal Bastards expressed their gratitude to the music festival for facilitating this collaboration, giving them the opportunity to make music with Kao Er-xuan.

The 'ID. Music Festival' featured a lineup of 14 artists including LaLa Hsu, Rhydian Vaughan, Kao Er-xuan, Ideal Bastards, Queen Wei, and Wu Wen-fang, performing in a relay format. Ideal Bastards, who had just announced additional concert dates, and Kao Er-xuan surprised the audience with their new song 'Will Still Love You'. Ideal Bastards stated they were very grateful to the 'ID. Music Festival' for creating the opportunity to collaborate and have fun making music with Kao Er-xuan.

Kao Er-xuan, serving as the special guest vocalist, admitted, 'I'm really nervous! I was cramming and practicing all the way to the venue.' Kao and Ideal Bastards energized the stage, with Kao jokingly suggesting the temporary collaboration be named 'Bastard Er-xuan'. He then laughed and corrected himself, 'Hey, that sounds like an insult! Maybe 'Cake (Dan-Gao)' is better.'

In addition to his collaboration with Ideal Bastards, Kao Er-xuan performed several rap songs at the festival. 'It's been a long time since I've sung with such energy. I'm so tired. I recently had a baby, so I feel a bit guilty singing these upbeat songs, as I've mostly been singing ballads lately,' he said. During his performance, Kao interacted with fans. When asked which was harder, triathlon or being a dad, he laughed and replied, 'Both are hard, but being a dad is more fun.'

Rhydian Vaughan performed seven original songs from his debut to the present with his band 'Rhydian Vaughan & Acrylic Persimmon'. Having been busy with filming recently, he said it had been a long time since his last performance. Unexpectedly, before the third song, his guitar string broke. However, he calmly chatted with his band members and the audience while changing the string, humorously telling everyone, 'It's okay, a new string is a good omen.' (Editor: Lung Po-an) 1150606
