TLT fans and FNAF community in the Philippines, time to see the internet’s biggest gaming band up close!

The Living Tombstone will be performing live in Manila on July 8, 2025, at the New Frontier Theater, presented by Ovation Productions and Blast TV as the official media partner.  

The Living Tombstone or TLT is known for their catchy beats, catchy melodies, and electronic music, composed of the duo Yoav Landau and Sam Haft. Having created and released music over eleven years, they have amassed 8 millionYouTube subscribers, and their music has achieved over 70 billion streamsacross platforms. The band is coming off a sold-out North American 2024 tour. Their unique position as both recording artists and influencers in the gaming and ‘geekdom’ space gives them a significant cultural footprint and history, with multiple RIAA-awarded songs, and even charting at #4 on the Dance/Electronic chart with their track Five Nights At Freddy’s, used in the end credits of the recent Blumhouse/NBC Universal produced film.  

Haft, originally a TV and film writer by trade, joined The Living Tombstone as a songwriter-lyricist-vocalist seven years ago, but ask him and he’ll tell you, “The magic is all Yoav. I’m hardworking and lucky – he’s special.” Founding member Yoav Landau, who portrays the band’s frontman character “zero_one” onstage, started TLT as a way to escape an environment in which he never felt like he fit in, as a teenager in Israel. Yoav found an emotional outlet in developing music about his favorite television shows to connect with like-minded communities away from his home and across the world. As soon as he was able, Yoav left college, moved to America, and became a full-time creator. 

TLT’s manager, Octone Records co-founder David Boxenbaum, never thought he would manage an act, but something surprised him when he first encountered TLT. “These guys disprove the rule, that you can’t just put your music out there and expect people to find it,” he says with a grin. “These guys put it out there, and millions of people found it.” And he’s right – they have – from major movie studios like Universal Pictures, to A-Listers like Will Smith and Jack Black. TLT has carved out its own little corner of the geek culture zeitgeist. 

TLT encountered Boxenbaum – or “Box” as friends call him – while developing a TV show for Japanese media giant Avex, where he was the head of their music company. It was Box who convinced the act to finally assemble the debut LP album they’d been dreaming up for years, “zero_one”, and take it to the industry, where it was embraced by fans and casual listeners alike. 

TLT have in the meantime continued developing projects for TV, video games, and more. In 2021, they released indie horror game In Sound Mind, which was critically well received and rated “overwhelmingly positive” on Steam. Since re-acquiring the rights to their TV project from Avex, they have independently financed a proof-of-concept to their battle of the bands cartoon, “Rock N Rumble,” with plans to pitch in Q1 2024. In addition, they’ve spun off the concept into a battle of the bands strategy video game, AudioClash: Battle Of The Bands, currently in beta and seeking a publisher. 

Now newly signed to 10K Projects, TLT is working alongside industry-best alternative producer CJ Baran (Panic! at the Disco, COIN, One OK Rock) on their next album, entitled Rust. “Just as zero_one was an album about looking inward, Rust is an album about looking outward,” says Haft. “It’s an album about rebellion, dystopia, and an angry optimism that we can create the future we deserve.” Rust releases in 2025. 

Ticket prices to the upcoming TLT concert in Manila are as follows; VIP at PHP5000, Loge at PHP3500, and Balcony at PHP2500, exclusive of ticketing charges and will be available at ticketnet.com.ph with artist presale happening on April 30, and general on sale on May 2. 

The Living Tombstone’s concert is more than just a night of entertainment, but it is also a great way for fans to support and appreciate the music of their favorite artist. 

Tickets are now available via Helixpay.

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.

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!
