Diana Krall Concert - Taipei: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Taipei)

Songbook standards in Nangang

Diana Krall plays the Taipei Music Center on Sunday, November 29, 2026. She is a Canadian pianist and singer from Nanaimo, British Columbia. She made her name by singing the Great American Songbook from the piano bench instead of fronting a band from a microphone stand.

Her catalogue is the reason people come. When I Look in Your Eyes won her the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Performance. The Look of Love leaned into lush bossa nova and ballads, and Live in Paris captured her small-group playing on stage. Expect a low, unhurried voice, swing standards and long stretches of piano. Her piano solos are a big part of the show.

Reaching Civic Boulevard

The Taipei Music Center stands on Civic Boulevard in Nangang District, on Taipei’s eastern edge. It is a purpose-built pop and concert complex, and the main shows use its Performance Hall, the largest room on the site.

• MRT: Kunyang Station (Bannan Line, Blue) is the closest stop, about a 5–10 minute walk.
• Alternative: Houshanpi Station, one stop west on the same line, is a slightly longer walk.
• From the centre: Bannan Line trains run directly east from Taipei Main Station and Zhongxiao Fuxing, about 20 minutes from Main Station.
• Fare: an EasyCard or a contactless bank card covers the MRT. Tap in and out at the gates.

Tickets, seats and concert manners in Taipei

Large concerts in Taiwan usually sell through platforms such as KKTIX, tixCraft and ibon. The promoter’s listing carries the seating plan and price tiers. Seats are numbered, so the crowd at the door is about bag checks, not a race for spots.

• Collecting tickets: paper tickets are often printed at the ibon kiosks inside 7-Eleven stores, using a pickup code.
• ID: big shows in Taiwan often use real-name ticketing, so attendees usually carry photo ID that matches the booking.
• Phones: Taiwanese halls generally ban photos and recording during the performance. Ushers walk the aisles holding signs, and they enforce it.
• Applause: jazz crowds here clap after solos as well as at the end of songs. Krall often talks to the audience between numbers, in English.

Most people get there in the hour before showtime, which leaves time for the queue at bag check and the merchandise table.

After the encore

Kunyang Station takes the whole audience at once. Many people walk the extra few minutes to Houshanpi instead, where the platform is less crowded. Taxis queue along Civic Boulevard, and ride-hailing apps such as Uber work in Taipei.

For a late meal, Raohe Street Night Market, beside Songshan Station and Ciyou Temple, is a short taxi ride west. Its pepper buns come out of clay ovens and the herbal pork rib soup comes in deep bowls. Closer to the venue, Nangang Station’s malls have food courts. Wufenpu’s garment lanes, near Houshanpi, are mostly a daytime stop.
