What?! Wang Leehom Brought Robots on Stage as Backup Dancers 🤖

Concerts usually come with LED screens, backup dancers, and fireworks. But at Wang Leehom’s Chengdu stop of his Best Place world tour on December 18, 2025, the real scene-stealers weren’t human at all 🤯.

Midway through his high-energy track Firepower, six humanoid robots from Unitree walked onto the stage — dressed in silver, glittery outfits — and started dancing in perfect sync with human performers. These weren’t stiff, awkward moves either. The robots hit beats precisely, matched formations, and kept time like seasoned backup dancers.

The robots were Unitree’s G1 humanoid model, performing for nearly four minutes straight. That’s notably longer than most previous robot stage appearances, and the choreography was far more ambitious. Wide arm swings, quick footwork, and clean transitions all landed smoothly. The finale? A synchronized Webster flip — yes, a full backflip — with stable, confident landings 😮‍💨.

Technically, this worked because the G1 robots come with over 17 degrees of freedom, millisecond-level response times, and advanced dynamic balance control. They also use 3D lidar and environmental sensors, allowing them to adjust in real time on a crowded, flashing concert stage.

Fans online are already calling it a glimpse into the future of live shows — where pop stars and robots share the spotlight. Honestly? The robots understood the assignment 🤖✨.
