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.

This heart-wrenching yet captivating track has won the hearts of many, leaving fans eager to hear it performed live.

Through their hard work and dedication, BOYNEXTDOOR has quickly risen to the top, earning major recognition with their chart-topping success on Apple Music’s Top 100: Korea, where they have held  No.1 spot for 27 consecutive days as of today. The track also earned them their first win for “오늘만 I LOVE YOU (IF I SAY, I LOVE YOU)” on M Countdown and a second win on Inkigayo, solidifying their place as one of K-pop’s most promising rising stars. With each achievement, BOYNEXTDOOR continues to showcase their musical depth and versatility, leaving fans buzzing for more.

The enthusiasm surrounding their music has only intensified, and there’s no better way to celebrate these milestones than with a live performance in Manila!

The BOYNEXTDOOR TOUR ‘KNOCK ON Vol.1’ IN MANILA is set to deliver a show-stopping experience for fans, with high-energy performances and the chance to hear the group’s beloved hits live.

Tickets for this show have been flying off the shelves since sales began on January 11, 2025, during the ONEDOOR MEMBERSHIP PRESALE, and the General Onsale on January 12, 2025.

So mark your calendars for March 29, 2025, because TAEYEON will once again dazzle S♡NEs with her exceptional voice and flair at the SM Mall of Asia Arena for the TAEYEON CONCERT – The TENSE in MANILA!

Since her debut in 2007 as the main vocalist and leader of the legendary K-Pop group Girls’ Generation (also known as SNSD), TAEYEON has captivated global audiences with her powerful, versatile vocals and undeniable stage presence. Not long after her group debut, TAEYEON also soared as a drama soundtrack sensation, delivering soulful and expressive hits like “Can You Hear Me” for Beethoven Virus, “Missing You Like Crazy” for the King 2 Hearts, and “All With You” for Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, among others. TAEYEON’s musical journey didn’t stop there.

Her contributions to various sub-units have added layers to her artistry. As part of SM the Ballad in 2010, she helped create melodic ballads that became fan favorites. Her work with Girls’ Generation-TTS in 2012, alongside Tiffany and Seohyun, delivered heartfelt tunes that were both catchy and meaningful. The powerful combination of TAEYEON, Sunny, Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Yuna in Girls’ Generation-Oh! GG in 2018 brought exciting energy to the group, while the groundbreaking Girls on Top in 2021 and GOT the Beat in 2022, featuring TAEYEON alongside some of SM Entertainment’s most talented female artists.

These collaborations have not only gifted fans with memorable songs, it also allowed TAEYEON to explore different genres, from melodic ballads to powerful dance-based performances. This extensive musical exploration has further solidified her status as one of the most versatile and prominent female artists in the K-Pop industry.

After 8 successful years as the frontwoman of Girls’ Generation, TAEYEON embarked on her highly anticipated solo career in 2015 with the mini album “I”, instantly topping various music charts and earning her multiple awards, including “Best Female Artist” at the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards and a Golden Disc Award in the Digital category for “I”. Her solo career continued to soar with acclaimed albums and EPs like “My Voice” and “INVU”, as well as hit singles like “Fine”, “11:11”, and “Weekend”. Among her many accolades, in 2024, The Recording Academy (also known as the Grammy Awards) named her as one of the 15 inspiring K-Pop soloists, a testament to her boundless talent and global impact.

TAEYEON continues to dazzle the world with her talent and undeniable musical prowess. Her latest EPs “To.X” and “Letter to Myself”, released in November 2023 and November 2024 respectively, have both been highly successful. Just like her previous comebacks, these masterpieces have claimed the No. 1 spot on the Bugs real-time charts in Korea as well as the No. 1 spot on the iTunes Top Albums charts in multiple regions immediately after their release. Both EPs have also dominated digital album sales charts on different music platforms. With each passing year, TAEYEON’s reputation as a ‘trusted and beloved vocalist’ only grows stronger, enchanting fans with her voice and heartwarming performances.

No doubt, TAEYEON is ready for her sixth solo concert and TAEYEON CONCERT – The TENSE tour that is set to kick off on March 7-9, 2025, in Seoul.

Obviously, international pop-punk sensation STATE CHAMPS has ticked all the boxes as far as the whole music world is concerned, and they’re bringing both the sound and the standard to Manila this 2025!

You heard that right: PULP Live World proudly announces that STATE CHAMPS will perform a one-night-only show on April 11th, 2025, at the SM Southmall Events Hall in Las Piñas. Without a doubt, Filipino fans of the pop punk genre will be thrilled at this exclusive full performance which packs a punch and features the band’s numerous crowd favorites and anthems.

The band – hailing from Albany, New York, and comprised of vocalist Derek DiScanio, guitarist Tyler Szalkowski, bassist Ryan Scott Graham and drummer Evan Ambrosio – is equally excited, as their last visit and performance in Manila was a festival set at the famed Bazooka Rocks Festival in 2017 (held at the Skydome in SM North Edsa and also produced by PULP Live World) alongside THE MAINE.

Formed in 2010, the band proved their worth with catchy songs, a strong work ethic when it came to writing more songs for their discography and consistently energy-fueled live performances within immediate circles in – and near – their hometown. By 2015, State Champs was supporting household names like ALL TIME LOW, 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER, and NECK DEEP on various tours, and secured slots at reputed stages like the famous Vans Warped Tour and Reading and Leeds Festivals in England. Soon after, the band was featured on the cover of Alternative Press magazine, whose writer said: “[State Champs is] everything you love about old school pop-punk with a new-school heart.”

Aside from a multitude of diehard fan favorites and fun covers of big hits in and outside the genre, the band has quite a number of big singles and hits, including “Secrets,” “Where I Belong” (featuring fellow punksters WE THE KINGS), “Silver Cloud” and their popular rendition of the Shawn Mendes smash hit “Stitches,” which has garnered close to 45 million streams on Spotify.

Tickets will go on sale early on February 4, 2025, at 12PM (PH Time), so fans of the band should be ready to secure their spots. VVIP Tickets will sell for PHP 5,500.00 and buyers will enjoy an exclusive Meet n’ Greet with STATE CHAMPS, while VIP tickets will be made available for PHP 4,000.00, and Gen Ad tickets are priced at PHP 3,000.00.

Fast-rising alt-rock band Culture Wars is back in Manila, this time as part of Maroon 5’s Asia Tour (Tour Stops: Manila – January 29, Jakarta – February 1, Kuala Lumpur – February 12, Kaohsiung Taiwan – February 14). The Texas-based band first visited the Philippines last October as LANY’s opening act at the Philippine Arena, and if their second visit here within just a few months of their first is any indication, it’s that they are ascending in popularity and demand at bullet speed.

Just months after Culture War’s single Miley played on Philippine radio and TV and introduced the band to us, their latest single It Hurts promises to endear them even more to Filipino music fans. Made up of Alex Dugan, Caleb Contreras, Dillon Randolph, David Grayson, and Josh Stirm, the band is clearly doing a lot of right things to get invited to tour with some of the world’s biggest bands. In fact, it won’t be surprising at all to see them headline their own major concert tour soon with the way things are going. The song-writing talent, the musical prowess, the energetic live performances—Culture Wars has them all in abundance, and yet this group of guys is as down-to-earth as you’ll ever get to see in a rock band. Sounds too good to be true? Check out their easy-going and candid interviews, and more importantly, try listening to their music.

It Hurts comes alive with a jangly guitar and driving bassline that music fans would surely love to blast in their cars—it’s addictive and nostalgic. The track, off of the band’s upcoming debut album which was mostly recorded by the band in Los Angeles, California, is playing now across music streaming platforms.

ABOUT CULTURE WARS:

Austin’s Culture Wars’ debut album arrives ready to connect with a generation starved for authenticity and provocation in their rock bands. Recorded at Sonic Ranch Recording Studio, 30 minutes outside El Paso, Texas; Hollywood’s United Recording (Sinatra, Radiohead); and Sunset Sound (The Doors, Prince), the young group’s moving debut album is set to be a breath of fresh air full of ambition and pure intentions. As the band’s name implies, seemingly disparate passions battle within the songs, somehow beautifully making peace.

Culture Wars initially built a following through word-of-mouth and energetic live performances. Songs like “Heaven”, “Faith” and “Lose Money” blew up on streaming services, contributing to the group’s widening audience. “Leave Me Alone,” featured on the GRAMMY-nominated Bill & Ted Face the Music soundtrack, enjoyed an organic boost from mega-influencers and became Culture Wars’ first Top 30 Alternative Rock hit.

Their new work combines the past, present, and future with bold swagger. They make honest, expertly crafted, ambitious rock music built to resonate with a diverse audience. The sound Culture Wars developed blends the most vital rock and alternative music elements, earnestly emphasizing actual guitars.
