EXO-Ls, the wait is finally over! The K in K-Pop is back, and whether it stands for “King” or “Kai”, one thing’s for sure: Mr. Rover himself is making his grand return!

Brace yourselves as he takes over the stage on July 27, 2025, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum for the 2025 KAI SOLO CONCERT TOUR <KAION> IN MANILA! 

More than a decade after his group debut in 2012, KAI has emerged as one of the best dancers in South Korea and K-Pop. Whether it was the five years of rigorous training before his debut, his unwavering dedication, or his sheer passion for dancing, the answer is likely a combination of all three. But if we delve deeper, his unparalleled passion for dance truly sets him apart from the vast talents of the K-Pop industry. KAI has been dancing since he was eight years old. With that popping and locking right on the beat, he has the kind of precision that most dancers take years to master in the art of hip-hop. However, KAI proves that technical brilliance is just one aspect of his artistry. The foundation of his skills was nurtured through ballet and jazz, which transcends to his unique ability to blend technical excellence and raw emotion, captivating audiences worldwide. KAI’s dedication to his craft is unmatched, and his versatility as a dancer has made him a standout in the K-Pop scene. From his powerful stage presence to his ability to blend different dance styles, his reputation as a dance prodigy is indisputable. 

In the realm of K-Pop, where artists are often confined to maintaining a distinct image, KAI has consistently defied expectations, showcasing his talents not only as a singer and dancer but also as a multifaceted entertainer and fashion icon. From being EXO’s center, main dancer, and lead rapper, to being part of “EXO-K”, “Younique Unit”, and “SM the Performance,” all in 2012, and later on, becoming part of a performance-based group “SuperM” in 2019, he has proven his ability to seamlessly adapt to various group dynamics and musical styles. Whether it’s his sharp choreography or dynamic rap verses, KAI consistently sets the stage on fire. 

Beyond his musical endeavors, he has also ventured into acting, starring in projects like “Choco Bank”, “7 First Kisses”, “Andante”, and “Spring Has Come”, further solidifying his status as a versatile performer. And with his impeccable sense of style, KAI has also become a prominent figure in the fashion industry. He was the first [Gucci] Eyewear Men Global Ambassador in South Korea in 2019 and the first-ever male muse of a cosmetics brand [Bobbi Brown] in 2020. Undoubtedly, KAI is more than just a K-Pop artist. His influence extends far beyond the stage, cementing his status as a true icon. 

Moving forward, his journey is far from over. In 2020, he made his long-awaited debut as a soloist with his self-titled EP “Kai” and its lead single “Mmmh”, which set the foundation for his solo career. The album’s impressive performance– reaching #2 on the Gaon Album Chart, earning a Platinum certification from the Korea Music Content Association, and winning “Best Male Artist” and “People’s Choice Awards” at the 2021 Asian Pop Music Awards– was a testament to KAI’s enduring popularity and the audience’s embrace of his unique musical vision. Continuing his solo momentum, his second EP, “Peaches”, debuted at #3 and earned him another Platinum certification. Most recently, his third EP, “Rover,” has reached new heights, debuting at #1 on the Circle Album Chart, his first chart-topping solo release. This unprecedented success not only proved KAI’s status as a formidable solo artist but also highlighted his relentless commitment to pushing creative boundaries.

After two years of being away from his fans due to his military enlistment, KAI is ready to take his fans in the Philippines by storm. From heart-thumping dance tracks to soul-stirring ballads, he is set to leave you in awe.

When you hear the name BEACH WEATHER, you might wonder if it’s a band or a vibe.

To be clear, it’s a band, but the sensations their music evokes are spot-on with their name. Imagine cruising down an endless coastal highway with the windows down, a sense of freedom lingering in the air– that’s the exact feeling their music gives.

The good news is that PULP Live World is bringing BEACH WEATHER to the shores of Manila for their one-night-only show on August 23, 2025, at the Skydome in SM North Edsa. Filipino pop-rock enthusiasts won’t want to miss this exclusive performance of psychedelic surf-rock sound euphoria, which only the band can deliver!

Hailing from the coastal region of Braintree, Massachusetts, BEACH WEATHER is a pop-rock band formed in 2015 by Reeve Powers, Sean Silverman, and vocalist Nick Santino. Before forming BEACH WEATHER, Santino fronted A Rocket To The Moon, a beloved pop-rock band known for heartfelt anthems like “Like We Used To” and “Baby Blue Eyes.” The band gained a strong following, especially in the Philippines, where they performed at the Bazooka Rocks II Festival in Manila in 2013, further solidifying their fanbase. Now, with BEACH WEATHER, Santino continues to captivate audiences with a fresh, dynamic sound while carrying forward his signature storytelling and melodic style.

BEACH WEATHER, founded on a shared passion for sonic creation, their sound weaves together elements of indie rock, surf rock, and a touch of psychedelia, resulting in a musical tapestry that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Their debut EP released in 2015, “What a Drag”, was a promising start for the band. In the months that followed, they toured as a supporting act with various big players in the music scene, such as The Maine, Sleeping with Sirens, and Against the Current, among others. Thereafter, the band released “Chit Chat” in 2016, unaware at the time that it would achieve remarkable success in the years to come.

After a hiatus of nearly five years, fueled by the same passion for creating music, BEACH WEATHER officially returned in January 2022. Having a stroke of serendipity, their discography saw a surge in popularity in June 2022 when their 2016 hit, “Sex, Drugs, Etc.” went viral on TikTok, catapulting them to mainstream recognition. As of today, the song has amassed over 1.1 billion streams on Spotify and has been certified platinum twice by both Music Canada (MC) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). This achievement also earned the band a nomination for “Best New Artist (Alternative & Rock)” at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Riding the waves of their newfound success, BEACH WEATHER finally released “Pineapple Sunrise” in March 2023, their first full-length album. The album, infused with catchy melodies and introspective lyrics, takes listeners on a vibrant journey through love, loss, and self-discovery. The release of the album also marked the start of their headlining tour across North America. They also started appearing in various music festivals such as BottleRock Napa Valley and Hangout Music Festival and continued joining other bands’ tours as a supporting act. With the release of their second studio album, “Melt” in October 2024, BEACH WEATHER has embarked on its second tour– the “Will Make You… Melt” tour.

From a small-town band to a global phenomenon, BEACH WEATHER has carved out an impressive trajectory over the past decade. Coming out of the coast of Braintree to the far corners of the world, Filipino fans are in for a blast as they can finally get to experience the band live at the Skydome in SM North Edsa on August 23, 2025, for the BEACH WEATHER ASIA TOUR 2025 LIVE IN MANILA.

Tickets will be available starting May 1, 2025, at noon (PHT) through any SM Tickets outlets nationwide and online at smtickets.com. Experience one of the best shows this year with VIP A tickets for PHP 5,000, which includes priority entry and an exclusive chance to Meet n’ Greet with the band.

He’s back and ready to make history with his first-ever fan concert, XIUMIN FAN CONCERT < X Times ( ) > in MANILA, happening on May 10, 2025, at the New Frontier Theater!

Multifaceted? A jack-of-all-trades? Just say XIUMIN when you mean a man of many skills. Since EXO’s debut in 2012, he has shone as the group’s lead singer, lead dancer, and sub-rapper. To his fellow EXO members, he is the good-natured, protective, and funny hyung– a brother who’s always ready with his witty remarks or playful pranks. But XIUMIN knows no bounds. He has broadened his horizons by delving into acting and musical theater, and he also excels in various sports, even becoming an ambassador for one. Truly, he embodies the essence of versatility.

Reflecting on XIUMIN’s journey to fame, it was clear from the start that he was destined for greatness. Winning 2nd place in the SM Everysing Contest in 2008 paved the way for his entry into SM Entertainment and his introduction as the 7th member of EXO. From his early days with EXO-M, promoting their music in China, to becoming an integral part of the main EXO group, XIUMIN’s dedication and hard work are evident. He flourished even brighter when he joined forces with BAEKHYUN and CHEN to form EXO-CBX. The trio showcased their unique charm and ingenuity through various music releases and performances, captivating fans worldwide.

In 2015, XIUMIN made his acting debut as the lead in the web comedy-drama “Falling for Challenge”. That year, it quickly became the most-watched web drama, garnering over 24 million views in less than a month. His remarkable performance earned him the “Award for SNS Web Drama” at the 4th APAN Star Awards in 2015. XIUMIN also lent his voice to the drama’s official soundtrack, “You Are the One”, marking his first solo song. In the same year, he also made his musical theatre debut portraying Aquila in the SM Entertainment musical “School OZ”. Later, in 2016, XIUMIN took his talents to the big screen with his debut in the satire adventure comedy film “Seondal: The Man Who Sells The River”.

XIUMIN didn’t stop there. He finally made his solo debut in September 2022 with his first EP, “Brand New,” which was lauded for its nostalgic ‘90s sonic euphoria. The album peaked at #26 on the Circle Download Chart. In recognition of his exceptional talent, XIUMIN won the “Best Male Solo Singer” award at the 2023 Korea First Brand Awards. Recently, he has made his most-awaited comeback with his sophomore EP “Interview X” featuring six tracks: “Can’t Help Myself”, “Make You Lalala”, “Switch Off”, “Lost Paradise”, “Love is U”, and the title track “WHEE!”. Immediately after its release, “WHEE!” reached #1 on iTunes Top Songs Charts in at least fourteen different regions and surpassed 10 million views on its music video within just 10 days. Meanwhile, “Interview X” claimed the #1 spot on iTunes Top Albums charts in at least seven different regions.

Now, XIUMIN is returning to the stage with his first-ever fan concert, the 2025 XIUMIN FAN CONCERT < X TIMES ( ) >. The tour kicked off with his sold-out show in Seoul on March 22, 2025.

And for his Filipino fans, mark your calendars because XIUMIN will be at the New Frontier Theater on May 10, 2025, for the XIUMIN FAN CONCERT < X Times ( ) > in MANILA!

IT’S POP-PUNK FEVER ALL OVER AS MAYDAY PARADE RETURNS TO MANILA!

The choruses will be huge, the sing-alongs will be thundering and pop punk fans will be the happiest they’ll ever be, as phenomenal punk superstars MAYDAY PARADE are making their way back to our shores to treat Filipino fans to an evening of fun and nostalgia, via their biggest live anthems and unrivaled onstage energy.

That’s right – PULP Live World presents MAYDAY PARADE “Three Cheers For 20 Years” in MANILA, and it’s happening this September 24th, 2025, at the renowned Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. This will be the seventh time the Tallahassee, Florida band has played in Manila, and it’s needless to point out why the Filipino fans love them so much.

Formed in 2005, lead vocalist/pianist/guitarist Derek Sanders, guitarists Alex Garcia and Brooks Betts, bassist Jeremy Lenzo, and drummer Jake Bundrick were seemingly always on the path to success: their debut EP Tales Told By Dead Friends sold over 50,000 copies with no label support whatsoever, relying solely on the strength of the group’s uncanny ability to create and produce pop-punk anthems that resonated with theirs and future generations.

The band’s biggest hits include the gang-vocal-laden “Jamie All Over,” “Miserable At Best” and “Jersey” (all from their 2007 full-length debut A Lesson In Romantics), the ultra-emotional ballad “Stay” (off their 2011 self-titled release), and “Oh Well, Oh Well,” among other diehard favorites. The music – which can change in an instant from popping party anthems to emotive and introspective ballads – is definitely for music fans of all shapes and sizes, as MAYDAY PARADE seems to have a fix on soaring melodies, catchy dynamics, and overall, well-executed musicianship; all of which make their shows unforgettable experiences.

Recently, the band released three future hit singles last February, namely “By The Way,” “Pretty Good To Feel Something” and “Towards You,” which are slated to be included in their upcoming EP Sweet, to be released April 18th this year… another perfect treat to celebrate the band’s two-decade-long run.

Needless to say, the MAYDAY PARADE “Three Cheers For 20 Years” in MANILA is slated to be one of the most exciting events of the quarter, and Filipino fans are both lucky and pumped to be part of the band’s tour cycle. Exclusive ticket pre-sales will be open from 10AM PHT of April 11th up to April 12 at 10AM PHT only at ticketnet.com.ph, and the General Sale will begin on Sunday, April 13th at 12 noon Philippine time. Fans of the band and great music, in general, can purchase them via Ticketnet outlets and online through www.ticketnet.com.ph.

So there’s absolutely no reason not to start getting all giddy and excited as early as now because one thing MAYDAY PARADE promises is a most awesome 20th Anniversary party that’ll be fun, loud, and memorable for everyone in attendance. Save your spot and tell your friends – it’s going to be a celebration for the books!

GNN marks its tenth-year anniversary of producing shows and concerts with a one-day music event top-billed by Pamungkas from Indonesia and Scrubb from Thailand.

#GNN10 Presents: Pamungkas and Scrubb Live in Manila will take place on April 26, 2025, at 123 Block in Mandala Park, Mandaluyong City. The exclusive, co-headline show is a Philippine-only engagement and will form a key part of #GNN10, a year-long music campaign. This project started with a string of sold-out shows earlier this year, including Regina Song: Live in Manila and Tanaw: The Repeat at Newport Performing Arts Theater.

The inaugural celebration commemorates the production company’s commitment to championing local and Asian artists and reaffirms its mission of mounting concerts and events rooted in community building and inclusivity.

Having earned iconic status in their respective countries and throughout Southeast Asia, Pamungkas and Scrubb have cultivated a dedicated fanbase in the Philippines with their inescapable anthems. Indonesian singer-songwriter and producer Pamungkas became a regional sensation with his breakout hit, “To The Bone,” which topped streaming charts across Southeast Asian countries, including the Philippines, where it peaked at No. 5 on Spotify PH charts. Meanwhile, phenomenal Thai alt-pop duo Scrubb captivated global audiences with their enormous contributions to the official soundtrack of 2gether The Series, the biggest Boy’s Love hit to ever come out of the region.

GNN brought both artists in 2022 and 2024, respectively, introducing them to the Philippine market through separate headline shows.

“We are incredibly excited to bring Pamungkas and Scrubb back to the Philippine stage,” shares GNN Creative Director Marie Lara Pauline Bobier in an official press statement. “This anniversary celebration marks an important milestone for me, Ian, and Milley, and reflects how far we’ve come from our humble beginnings. It is a testament to our younger selves that passion, dedication, and perseverance pay off. We started with nothing—personally cutting tickets, selling them through meet-ups with strangers, carrying our extension cords and electric kettles to gigs and concerts—all while holding onto our day jobs.”

Bobier continues, “GNN has never been just about numbers; it has grown through shared experiences and memories. Our artists, gig and concertgoers, and dedicated production team have created moments that will last a lifetime. GNN has always been, and will always be, for those who live and breathe entertainment. We are truly grateful that, through our company, we have the privilege of bringing together the artists we admire with the fans who love them just as much.”

Tickets to #GNN10 Presents: Pamungkas and Scrubb Live in Manila are available on March 14, 2025, at 12 noon via https://scrubbpamungkas.helixpay.ph.

Both Benin and GABBA are announced to perform on the first day of the concert, while Kakoy Legaspi will reunite with Danao on day 2.

“All guests are handpicked by Johnoy Danao,” minsan studio head Jason Conanan reveals. “Each of them has played a crucial part in his music journey, both as collaborators and real-life friends.”

Marking a milestone in his 25-year career as part of bluesy folk band Bridge and an accomplished singer-songwriter, the two-day concert celebrates his work and career in a live setting, complete with an intricate setup and a 15-piece orchestra conducted by Ria Villena-Osorio. The concert also follows Danao’s series of sold-out cafe shows, which took place in several intimate venues across the Philippines.

Conanan also introduced a special promo specifically for students who have been supportive fans of Johnoy Danao’s music. “minsan studio believes that everyone, especially young people, are the key to long-term careers of the artists,” the concert producer shares. “They are the most active fans. Most of the time, they have limited financial capacity to do so; that’s why we came up with an initiative to show appreciation for their efforts.”

Conanan adds, “We started with pay-what-you-can gigs, and we find that people value these experiences differently. A student’s PHP 100 may be their savings for the day, while to an adult, that’s just another coffee. This is our way of helping bridge that gap.”

Tickets for Liwayway at Dapithapon are now available. Don’t miss the chance to witness this once-in-a-lifetime musical event.

In the midst of the North American leg of his CHROMAKOPIA: THE WORLD TOUR, Tyler, The Creator announces new tour dates across Asia in September.

Starting on September 9th in Tokyo and ending in Manila on September 20th with stops in Seoul and Bangkok along the way, the dates round out his world tour that encompasses North America, the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

CHROMAKOPIA: THE WORLD TOUR in Manila is organized by AEG Presents Asia and Insignia Presents and will take place at the Araneta Coliseum on September 20, 2025 (Saturday). Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, March 5 at 12PM via https://www.chromakopia.com/#tour.

CHROMAKOPIA: THE WORLD TOUR is in support of Tyler’s critically acclaimed and Billboard chart-topping album CHROMAKOPIA, which sat atop the Billboard 200 chart for 3 weeks upon its release in late 2024 and set the record for the biggest streaming debut for a rap album on Spotify ever at the time of its release. Just shy of 3 weeks into the world tour, Tyler has already been designated “one of the most exciting live performers of this era” by the Los Angeles Times and “one of the best performers in rap” by
Complex following the first of his six nights performing at Crypto.com Arena in his hometown of Los
Angeles.

Tickets for all newly announced Asian dates will be available for purchase on March 5th at 12PM local time in each market at https://www.chromakopia.com/#tour.

With stops in Manila, Baguio, Cebu, Davao, CDO, and more, the nationwide tour will feature live performances featuring songs from their 2024 album, Alegorya, along with fan favorites.

Munimuni will embark on a Philippine tour next month as part of the campaign to promote their third full-length 2024 album, Alegorya.

The acclaimed Filipino band has announced the first part of their nationwide tour, which includes shows spanning cities across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao: Baguio, La Union, Metro Manila, Lucena, Cebu, Cagayan De Oro, and Davao.

Co-produced and co-organized by GNN Entertainment Productions, the tour will feature long sets by the five-piece band and will be supported by guest acts representing each city. The tour has also partnered with Filla Killa, Indie CDO, Holodeck Productions, Alpas, Film and Print, and Whitebox Collective, to bring the tour outside of the capital.

“We try to get tour locations where we can reach both our current listeners and new ones,” shares the five-piece act in a collective statement. “In locations that are further away, although we can’t possibly reach every city, we had it in mind to choose venues that are accessible to as many of our listeners as possible. Another factor would be the existence of local productions, as we wanted to collaborate with and support local scenes.”

Apart from the commitment to reach out to music listeners from far-flung areas that don’t normally see them perform live, the folk-pop quintet also expressed excitement in performing songs off their latest album, along with some fan favorites.

“We are embarking on this tour to promote our latest album, Alegorya. We’ll be singing a lot of songs from the album, but also some older songs. We plan our setlists in a way that makes sense depending on what main message we feel like we need to communicate for the particular event and audience.”

Tour schedule so far:

• March 9, 2025: La Union (Alpas)
• April 2, 2025: Baguio (TBA)
• April 6, 2025: Lucena (Whitebox Collective)
• April 12, 2025: Cebu (From Here)
• April 25, 2025: Cagayan de Oro (TBA)
• April 26, 2025: Davao (TBA)
• May 17, 2025: Metro Manila (123 Block)

More details about Munimuni: ALEGORYA Philippine Tour will be announced on the band’s official social media pages soon.

By now, the obvious fact is that serious Filipino music fans can’t get enough of great international pop-punk anthems and are definitely serious about having fun… especially when it comes to supporting bands that have proved themselves both in the studio and onstage.

This is why there’s obvious electricity and excitement in the air, as PULP Live World recently announced that Welsh pop-punk outfit NECK DEEP is – indeed – making good on their vow to return to Philippine shores. The band’s 2023 show and their first-ever in Manila in 2016 (both held at the Skydome in SM North Edsa) were sold-out successes, proving how well-loved the band is among its Filipino fans. And fans of the genre definitely can’t wait to experience the energy and the live sonic intensity the band has consistently provided throughout its celebrated career.

Led by vocalist Ben Barlow, the band – rounded out by guitarists Matt West and Sam Bowden, bassist Seb Barlow, and drummer Matt Powles – officially formed in 2012, but has remained a fiercely consistent touring act throughout its existence. After being signed to reputed pop-punk label Hopeless Records in 2014, the band soon after released its debut full-length Wishful Thinking – a landmark release that solidified the once-group of friends into a hardworking unit. The band won the Kerrang award for Best British Newcomer and went on to release well-received albums consistently through the years, namely 2015’s Life’s Not Out To Get You, 2017’s The Peace and the Panic, and 2020’s All Distortions Are Intentional. Among furious tour dates, NECK DEEP also found themselves opening for BLINK-182 among other big names in the genre.

Post-pandemic, NECK DEEP immediately set out to tour internationally, and proved their worth and knack for bringing the house down once again; the band’s Asia Tour in 2023 included a sold-out show here in Manila. And just last year, the band released its fifth self-titled studio album, which was well-received by both pundits and fans, which charted at number two on the UK Independent Albums and took third place on the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart.

Now, Filipino fans themselves can hear and experience the pop-punk power once again, this May 11, 2025, as NECK DEEP LIVE IN MANILA is set to deliver the goods at the New Frontier Theater in Cubao, Quezon City. Tickets will be made available on February 28, 2025, at noon PH Time via all Ticketnet outlets and online through www.ticketnet.com.ph.

For those wanting the ultimate experience, VVIP tickets to the show will be available for PHP8,500 and will include an exclusive opportunity to Meet n’ Greet with Neck Deep. VIP A tickets will be sold for PHP 5,500, while VIP B tickets are going for PHP4,000. Finally, Loge tickets are also available for PHP 4,500 and Balcony tickets are also going on sale for as low as PHP2,500.

Serious pop-punk fans are invited and shouldn’t miss THIS show.
