The third season of the original music variety show The Big Band, produced by iQIYI, debuted on Friday. This season, The Big Band continues the program's original intention of providing a platform for high-quality bands to show off their talents and introducing multiple types of bands to the public.

On Thursday, clips from the third season of The Big Band were screened at a press conference. Several wonderful stage performances drew applause from the audience. Musical symbols were also successfully used to build a world of mutual spiritual interaction.   

During the Q&A section of the conference, Du Kai and Liang Long from the band Second Hand Rose positively responded to people's applause. Simon Liu from the Hong Kong band Young Drug said that he was really grateful for all that social media has brought. 

"Social media has allowed us to be recognized as a band that came out of a small place, and we have been able to support ourselves by our own skills."

On Friday, the premiere night, several bars across the country also organized parties and invited fans of The Big Band to cheer for the third season.
