The Director-General of Information Bureau Chou Kuan-ting said many posts on the fan page of "Rock In Taichung" introducing the line-up of the show are shared widely. It is noteworthy that many bands have roots in Taichung are returning to hometown again. In particular, Monkey Insane has been dissolved for 10 years and this time it will be very rare for them to come together for the event. As Houli is one of the venues of the Flora Expo, "Night of Flora Expo" is going to be held at the Lihpao Land second parking lot on November 3rd. Everyone is welcomed to take a part in.

The Information Bureau also said that last year, "Rock In Taichung" was held in the Lakeside Eco-Park of Empire Sugar Factory. It was a pity that this year the event coincided with the construction of the land around the eco-lake and the project of railway-elevated. In addition to the considering of the convenience and safety, the Timeless Lake in Taichung Park just completed the first large-scale dredging in a hundred years and restored the elegance of the past with convenient transportation and a centennial significance. Therefore, the event moved to Taichung Park this year. Once the construction surrounding the Empire Sugar Factory comes to an end, the event will be back toward the place.
