THE HEAVY METAL BEAUTY AND BEAST THAT IS JINJER RETURNS TO MANILA THIS 2025. TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN NOVEMBER!
Ask any heavy metal fan who isn’t brain dead (yet) from all that headbanging and chaos, and chances are, they’ll be quick to share and agree that Ukranian modern prog-metallers JINJER are among the esteemed few leading the charge for the brutal subgenre for the past decade.
Technical grooves, brutal growls, and soaring melodic vocals have put the band in the esteemed position of being one of the most acclaimed by both fans and critics. Still, it’s also their unmistakable knack for tackling realistically dark themes and converting them into epic crowd anthems and music videos that have earned the respect of audiences worldwide and even their peers.
Led by both enchanting and empowering vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk, the band – rounded out by guitarist Roman Ibramkhalilov, bassist Eugene Abdukhanov, and drummer Vladislav “Vladi” Ulasevich – has garnered millions of cross-platform streams and views worldwide, climbing the ladder to success since their official formation in 2009, with an intense touring ethic (supporting heavyweights in the game like ARCH ENEMY and CRADLE OF FILTH) and a no-guts-no-glory attitude when it came to refining and releasing what would be hailed as vintage Jinjer tunes, which were riddled with various styles outside the genre including funk, soul, R&B, jazz and even reggae – which was even hard to ignore by their peers.
The band’s 2017 single “Pisces” is their biggest to date, with its live video performance currently 88 million views. Recently, the band released “Someone’s Daughter,” and have just announced that their long-awaited fifth studio album Duél is set to be released next year, February 7th, 2025, fired-up with the release of the musically dizzying and wonderfully technical single “Kafka,” which can be heard now on all online music platforms and streaming sites.
Of course, the best news of all is that the band WILL be returning to Manila, which is a heavy metal delight to its legion of supporters and friends. It has been a crazy six years since the band was last here (as part of PULP Summer Slam XVIII: Of Good and Evil…) and fans rejoiced when it was announced that they would return to headline their very own show, JINJER ASIAN TOUR 2025 IN MANILA happening February 18th, 2025 at the Skydome, SM North EDSA.
Tickets will officially go on sale starting November 15th, 2024, 12PM through SM Tickets outlets nationwide and online via smtickets.com, so no heavy metal fan worth their weight will want to miss this opportunity to witness the heavy metal havoc in the flesh.
TICKET PRICES:
VVIP (Includes M&G and Priority Entry) — Php5,000
VIP — Php3,850
GENERAL ADMISSION — Php2,850

Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn, who shot to international fame in the early 2000s, are returning to the stage to celebrate their legacy.
“It was never a question of where we’d start our tour if we ever reunited – Asia was always the first choice. Some of our best memories are from there.” says Marion Ravn.
2025 marks the 25th anniversary of M2M’s best-selling album «Shades of Purple”, and the fans of the duo have continued to listen to their music and begged for a reunion for a long time. Following their split in 2002, both Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn pursued successful solo careers, but the duo never performed together again – until now.
On September 22nd (twenty-five after nine) Marit and Marion’s followers were sent into a frenzy when M2M posted a video of themselves singing a snippet of their most-streamed hit, “The Day You Went Away“. The clip went viral, racking up millions of views within hours, as fans flooded the comments with tour requests. And now, it’s finally happening.
“The Better Endings Tour” is the beginning of a new chapter for M2M, and it brings them back to Asia. Despite spending nearly a decade together, travelling all over the world and selling over 12 million albums worldwide, M2M never embarked on their own headlining tour.
“We’re finally getting to do what we always dreamed of. “I can’t wait to get back on stage playing music with Marit again”, says Marion.
“Making “Shades of Purple” changed our lives forever, and playing these songs together again, in the same room, while rediscovering both our music and our friendship at the same time, is a particular kind of magic. It feels powerful, like a celebration, Marit says.
“Let’s give this story a better ending. The ending it deserves. We truly can’t wait to see you (again).”

From “Love Me Do” to “Let It Be”, and from the Cavern Club, Liverpool to Apple Records rooftop in London, this incredible band will take you on a whirlwind tour through the Swinging Sixties, bringing to life the vibrant and revolutionary decade.
The Bootleg Beatles have become ‘an institution’ over the past 44 years with their note-perfect recreation of the hits from the world’s most famous songbook.

Just as there are the basic ABCs to learn in school to educate oneself, there are also the ABCs of Music that every amateur and professional musician, singer/performer and serious Music enthusiast should know and learn to fully appreciate what the Art of Music is all about.
In the world of Music and Entertainment, the works of the great Musical masters are the ABCs by which every budding performer should learn and be familiar with as these are “required songs to learn” to build a strong musical foundation.
Following on the heels of the success of her first ABC Concert last August 2024 and her successful US shows, Ms. KUH LEDESMA, the Philippines’ Premier Pop Diva will once again enthrall her audience with the staging of KUH SINGS HER ABC’s live at the Music Museum on October 18, 2024. Whether it should be called a Repeat Performance or a Part 2, one thing’s for sure, Kuh promises to keep her audience in suspense as to what songs she’ll be performing this time around.
Maybe some songs from the first ABC Concert as well as new songs that have been specially selected for this upcoming October 18 Concert.
Whatever the Concert’s repertoire will be it’s certainly worth looking forward to.
Joining Kuh for this October 18 Concert are up-and-coming singers TIM PAVINO, NATHAN RANDAL, DAVID YOUNG, and Kuh’s daughter ISABELLA. For people who’ll be watching the Concert for the first time though, they would curiously ask – what are the ABCs of Music?? The A’s could mean the Music of Adelle, Azarcon, America, and Apo. The B’s could be a Barbra, Bocelli, and even Bamboo. And the C’s could be a Canseco, Cayabyab, Carpenters, Cyrus, and of course Celine. And the list can be an endless stream of history’s greatest singers and composers. That’s why when Kuh sings“ABC”, the songs to be featured in the show could be any song from A to C plus many many more. So expect new surprises along the way.
Ely Buendia is set to celebrate the release of his upcoming album, Method Adaptor with an official launch at 123 Block in Mandaluyong City on November 8, 2024, from 7 p.m. onwards.

Presented by Gabi Na Naman Productions (GNN), Ely Buendia: Method Adaptor album launch will debut the songs off his new record for the first time in a live setting, with special surprises in terms of production and repertoire.
Mark your calendars! Indie rock veterans Orange & Lemons will be having their milestone-defining show titled Now & Then: Orange & Lemons 25th Anniversary Concert at the Metrotent Convention Center, Pasig on October 18.
Clem Castro, JM del Mundo, Ace del Mundo, and Jared Nerona will be performing a three-hour set to showcase their splendid discography over the years.
Depending on your age, your introduction to the band Orange & Lemons (shortened as “O&L”) would be from markedly separate eras. If you are in your 30s and above, you would have known them from their NU107 supremacy days – from their entry as an indie band up to their rise to the extreme mainstream with “Pinoy Ako”. If you are younger than that, there is a great chance that you rediscovered their music on TikTok through “Heaven Knows – Angel Has Flown” or heard a few O&L songs from your parents, uncles, aunties, and other elders. Still, one commonality then and now: Orange & Lemon’s music resonates with people regardless of age and timeline.
The History of O&L
Hailing from Bulacan, Orange & Lemons was originally formed in 1999 with Clem, Mcoy, JM and Ace. As a starting indie rock band, they were performing gigs left and right, but it wasn’t until 2003 that they got their big break when their breakthrough single “Just Like A Splendid Love Song” received positive appraisal at the now-defunct radio station NU107. Their first album Love in the Land of Rubber Shoes and Dirty Ice Cream was loved by listeners and music enthusiasts nationwide. Just a year later, they were already hailed the Best New Artist in the 2004 NU Rock Awards.
In 2005, more breakthroughs followed. They struck a record deal with a major label and then, their sophomore album aptly titled Strike Whilst the Iron Is Hot was released. The hit songs “Hanggang Kailan (Umuwi Ka Na Baby)” and “Heaven Knows (This Angel Has Flown)” were loved by the general public so much that O&L became one of the most popular bands at that time, filling music charts on TV and radio stations all over the nation. Shortly after, they reached the biggest push in their career when they were contacted when the largest television company in the country, ABS-CBN, asked them to create a soundtrack to the famous reality show Pinoy Big Brother. “Pinoy Ako” literally became a household hit, and with it came an outpour of more projects and gigs for the band.
O&L went on to work on major commercial projects, including making songs for advertisements for Sunsilk, a leading shampoo brand, and participating in tribute albums for Apo Hiking Society and Eraserheads. In 2006, their success reached astronomical levels and they were only allowed a break for two weeks for an entire year.
In 2007, O&L decided to work on a project that would show their true musicality and that was when their third album Moonlane Gardens was released. However, the effects of the burnout from the year before were taking their toll. A few months after the album, they announced their disbandment.
It took a decade for the band to reform with the three members – Clem, MJ, and Ace. Mcoy had left the band after the hiatus. They were later joined by keyboardist Jared Nerona. Eventually, Orange & Lemons got back on their feet, playing gigs across the country and being more steadfast in their current lineup. In 2022, they released another unique album: the all-Tagalog Kundiman-influenced La Bulaqueña.
Orange & Lemons Now
2024 has been treating them well. Early this year, “Heaven Knows – This Angel Has Flown”, a song released 19 years ago, suddenly debuted on Billboard Philippines and Spotify charts. It went viral on TikTok, prompting curious young listeners to dig deeper into O&L’s music.
In another string of coincidence, their song “La Bulaqueña” also found its way into the public consciousness when it was used by the beauty queen Chelsea Manalo (who is also from Bulacan) during her campaign period in Miss Universe Philippines. Amazingly, she also won the pageant and she will be representing the country in the upcoming Miss Universe 2024.
Striking at the perfect timing, Orange & Lemons had just released a music video for “La Bulaqueña” starring none other than Chelsea Manalo with the National Museum of Fine Arts as the backdrop.
On September 19, the four members of O&L met with the members of the media at the Unknown13 Pub and Grill for a press conference. Much to our surprise, we were primarily treated to a splendid mini-concert featuring their memorable tracks, interspersed with lots of personal, unfiltered anecdotes.
Clem, JM, Ace, and Jared sat down with the members of the press, candidly talking about their history – the process of songwriting, the ups, and downs of their rise to fame, the ideals they hold as musicians, and even their regrets from before. Here are the highlights of the event.
Songwriting process
Even though they officially formed in 1999, they were already writing songs as early as 1997. They wrote a lot of songs that their catalog filled not just one, but two albums. As the primary songwriter, Clem drew inspiration from his past lovers, immortalizing his experiences into songs. He spoke about how the line “umuwi ka na, baby” in “Hanggang Kailan” was about a girlfriend who went home to Bacolod for 3 months without contacting him. “Heaven Knows” was written about a woman named Angel who was the ex-wife of the son of a drug lord.
When asked as to which one they create first: the lyrics or the melody, Clem answered, “The lyrics come first because it’s easier to imagine the song. I have no proper music training. If there are lyrics, iniimagine ko lang yung melody niya at hinahanap ko sa gitara.” He elaborated that it’s easier for him that way because the band can be more flexible with the sound afterward.
What can the audience expect from their concert?
“We want to give them a tour from our very beginning to what is happening to Orange & Lemons nowadays,” frontman Clem Castro said. The show is expected to run for 3 hours. It will be divided into four parts, each one highlighting a specific album.
What made them decide to hold a 25th-anniversary concert?
“We want to give out to our true fans throughout the years even without Mcoy,” Clem expressed his gratitude to the fans who stuck with them even after their decade-long hiatus.
While it still isn’t completely clear why Mcoy left the band, the members are a lot more open to talk about it. Clem, in particular, has repeatedly acknowledged Mcoy’s invaluable contributions as the former lead vocalist of the band. “He will always be a part of O&L esp during our early days.”
Reemergence in Billboard PH charts – how did that happen?
Even in 2005, “Heaven Knows” was a very popular song, but 19 years later, it still managed to catch the younger generation’s curiosity. When asked about how they think that happened, the band could only say one thing: perhaps it was a song that was ahead of its time. They are very happy about the development and they encourage people to keep looking out for more of their music.
What has changed in the band now?
“Thanks for giving me another chance kasi alam ko medyo duda kayo sa akin,” Clem jokingly answered, making everyone in the room laugh.
The frontman had admitted to being too controlling of the band before, calling all the shots about what they should do. He admitted he still does to a certain point now, but the decision-making has become more collaborative now. They talk about everything openly now.
Similarly, the band had decided to be professional. “Everything is written on paper. Decision-making is unanimous.” Jared also chalked it up to age, “We are old. Wala nang nagtatampuhan. We talk. We converse. We settle things.”
As veterans in the field, how do they contribute to the music scene?
Brothers and bandmates JM and Ace are the proud owners of Unknown 13 Pub, the venue for the press conference. “This bar was built for new musicians, isang avenue para sa mga bagong banda, parang bahay nila. Ito yung advocacy ng bar na ‘to.” The cozy bar perched on top of a cafe at Katipunan Ave. is a great place for music lovers to get together.
Clem responded that he is open to advising starting musicians and colleagues. He has been doing that through his own independent record company known as Lilystars Records. During their decade-long hiatus, he wanted to figure out why their disbandment happened so easily and what could have been done to prevent it. That was when he studied the technical/legal side of being a musician. He said he is willing to impart his insights and learnings to anyone in the industry who needs them.
What are the future plans of the band?
Looking forward to the challenges ahead, the band sets their eyes on wider sceneries. For the next album, they aim for an international release by finding collaborators within Southeast Asia and beyond.
The Legacy of Orange & Lemons
“All things must pass, but we will try to be here for as long as we can and mag-iwan ng magandang legacy,” Clem declared. “We want to make our mark in the history of Philippine music. Yung mamention kami, ok na yun. It’s something that will last a long time.”
Orange & Lemons pride themselves on going against the flow. In every album they released, they always strived to create music that they would still be proud of 10 years or so in the future. That is also another reason they decided to hold their 25th-anniversary concert. They want their songs to stand the test of time and to reach more people.
For longtime fans and curious spectators alike, here is O&L’s promise: “We will pay it forward with more music.”

The indie pop/rock quartet will be performing original songs from their three acclaimed albums, as well as favorite covers from back in the day.
The Bloomfields are gearing up for a nostalgic trip through time with Byaheng Mahiwaga, a special 20th-anniversary show happening on October 25, 2024, at Fin and Claw, Timog, Quezon City.
The psychedelic four-piece act will treat fans to a night of memorable music and fun as they perform some of the most iconic originals from their catalog, along with notable covers from their repertoire.
“We’re bringing fresh takes on our original tracks—songs from our debut album The Bloomfields, Hit the Ground Running, and A Drop into the Blue—plus a mix of our favorite covers over the years,” shares the Ale hitmakers. “You’ll also get a sneak peek at new sounds from our upcoming album, dropping next year.”
Byaheng Mahiwaga: The Bloomfields 20th Anniversary Gig maps their collective journey as a group who has gone through several challenges in their career and personal relationships but managed to surmount the odds and embrace each other’s quirks.
“Now we feel more confident in making our own decisions and navigating the industry independently as we’ve grown,” the Bloomfields explain in a press statement.
The Bloomfields describe turning 20 as a band realizing their dreams. According to the indie pop/rock quartet, discovering their sense of purpose is the most fulfilling part of this journey. “Even though we’ve been playing together for so long, realizing that music is our calling keeps us inspired and motivated to create. This sense of purpose allows us to set aside our egos and fully commit to something bigger than ourselves, which has been key to our longevity in the local music scene.”
The highly anticipated event will include a full-length set from The Bloomfields, a performance by High Targets, a Motown-influenced ska/reggae band, and a special reunion with former bandmate Dino Pascual, who is preparing to launch his solo career next year.
