Canadian alternative indie-pop artist yung kai is returning to the Philippines this November as part of his biggest Asian tour yet, bringing his stay with the ocean, i’ll find you: Asia 2026 tour to the New Frontier Theater on Nov. 9.
The Manila concert is one of nine stops on the singer-songwriter’s upcoming regional tour, which follows a successful North American run and marks his long-awaited return to Asia after selling out his first headlining tour across the region in 2025.
The tour opens on Oct. 30 in yung kai’s hometown of Shanghai before making stops in Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Taipei, Hong Kong, Seoul, and Tokyo, where it concludes on Nov. 19.
Fans attending the Manila show can look forward to live performances of some of yung kai’s most recognizable songs, including the viral hit “blue” and fan favorite “teach me how to dance.”
Sharing his excitement about returning to the region, yung kai said, “Asia don’t you worry… yung kai is back!!!!!”
Since making his debut in 2022, yung kai has quickly emerged as one of indie pop’s rising names, earning a global following through his dreamy, emotionally driven sound. Drawing inspiration from artists such as keshi and Wave to Earth, he blends influences from his Chinese and Canadian upbringing into music that bridges Eastern and Western storytelling.
His breakthrough came in 2024 with “blue,” which has accumulated more than 2 billion streams worldwide and earned Gold certifications in both the United States and Canada. Last year, he released his debut album, stay with the ocean, i’ll find you, while embarking on his first sold-out headlining tour. Earlier this year, he was nominated for Breakthrough Artist of the Year at the JUNO Awards.
