In 2019, FireBall Fest. was held on 23rd and 24th November,[3] and was relocated to the Rakuten Taoyuan Baseball Stadium, which is larger in size.[4][5]
In 2021, the festival as cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan.[6]
From 2023, FireBall Fest. continued to diversify its programming. While rock and indie music remained central, the festival started to incorporate punk, heavy metal, and emerging artists, offering diverse musical content in order to appeal to a wider range of audiences.
