Halloween 2023 will be one for the books as emo superstars SILVERSTEIN will party and play in Manila!

As Filipino fans have proven time and again, watching a concert simply isn’t just about the music, but it’s an experience: joining friends and like-minded souls, jumping up and down in the pit, and singing loudly along to each and every live anthem – it’s all of this and more that makes each show memorable and unique.

This is why fans of millennium post-hardcore will be thrilled and smiling in their sleep as they count the days, as PULP LIVE WORLD has just made the official announcement that acclaimed emo icons SILVERSTEIN will be making a long-awaited comeback to the country this fourth quarter of 2023.

That’s right – vocalist Shane Told, guitarists Josh Bradford and Paul Marc Pousseau, bassist Billy Hamilton and drummer Paul Koehler – are bringing their A-game as they always have and have their decade-spanning hits in tow for their loyal Filipino fanbase to go-crazy-to this October 31st, 2023 at the Skydome at SM North EDSA. The show promises to be the loudest and most happening event on Halloween and will once again prove that the country has earned the right to call itself the “emo capital of southeast Asia.”

Formed in the year 2000 in Burlington, Ontario, Silverstein is arguably one of the most successful and both sonically and technically consistent bands to ever champion the genre, which is riddled with stadium-sized choruses, chugging riffs and trademark screamo dynamics that audiences just can’t get enough of. Having sold over a million albums, and has released a whopping 11 studio albums, their most notable singles include “Smashed Into Pieces,” “Hear Me Out,” “Discovering The Waterfront,” “My Heroine” and the anthemic “Smile In Your Sleep.”

The band has always had a deep connection with their Filipino fan base, and their performance this year in the country is a full-circle moment of sorts, as they had previously celebrated their 20th year anniversary back in January 2020 at the very same venue. Incidentally, the show was also produced by PULP Live World, so die-hards will definitely be eager to treat this as a special reunion of sorts. Needless to say, the singing will definitely be louder and the party even wilder!

Tickets to Silverstein Live in Manila will go on sale this May 28th, 2023 at noon, and will be made available via SM Tickets and smtickets.com.

• PULP Royalty – Php 5,500
• VIP – Php 4,000

READ: ATEEZ conquers global charts with new EP ‘SPIN OFF : FROM THE WITNESS’

Composed of Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho, ATEEZ debuted in 2018 with the mini album, Treasure EP.1: All to Zero, and double title tracks, “Pirate King” and “Treasure”. Less than a year after their debut, the boy group embarked on their first tour, The Expedition Tour, where they performed sold-out shows in the United States and Europe and later extended to Australia.

ATEEZ has received recognition for putting forth excellent performances and musical productions, which they showed through their releases and live stages. The boy band’s rendition of Turbo’s “The Black Cat Nero” on the South Korean television program Immortal Songs: Singing the Legend in 2020 made them the first fourth-generation group and sixth overall idol group to win the competition. The same year saw them bag the Worldwide Fans’ Choice and Discovery of the Year awards at the Mnet Asian Music Awards and be the fifth most tweeted-about musician in the United States in 2020, and the 10th most tweeted-about K-Pop group in the world.

In 2021, they continued to dazzle and garner accolades, winning Artist of the Year at The Fact Music Awards and their first Bonsang at the 30th Seoul Music Awards. The boy band competed in Kingdom: Legendary War as well, where they placed third overall. They also participated in the Immortal Songs once again, winning with their rendition of Psy’s “Right Now” and tying Mamamoo for the most victories by an idol group.

Last year, ATEEZ embarked on another concert tour, The Fellowship: Beginning of the End, gathering 180,000 fans across South Korea, Japan, United States, and Europe. Continuing the momentum, they then followed up Beginning of the End with The Fellowship: Break The Wall. The boy group opened the concert tour with two sold-out shows in Seoul. They then perform in North America, Japan, and Europe, bringing together 250,000 fans.

In April 2023, Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung, and Jongho returned to South Korea for the encore concerts which will also see them take the concert stages in Tokyo and Kobe, Japan.

The Fellowship: Break The Wall will also see ATEEZ perform solo concerts for the first time in Taipei, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, and Manila.

Aside from being members of K-Pop supergroups EXO and I.O.I, Baekhyun and Jeon Somi have established formidable careers as soloists.

Since his solo debut in 2019, Baekhyun proved his might as a strong solo artist, breaking records and writing history in K-Pop. His debut extended play City Lights sold more than half-a-million copies in 2019 and became the best-selling album by a solo artist of the 2010s in South Korea. He then broke his own record with his second EP Delight which became the first album by a solo artist in South Korea to have sold over one million copies in 19 years. The EXO member continued on the success of his solo releases with Bambi. Labeled as the “genius idol”, Baekhyun proved his status as one of the most successful soloists in South Korea with every accolade he receives including the Best Male Artist at the Mnet Asian Music Awards — a recognition he held for three consecutive years.

Following the end of I.O.I’s activities, Jeon Somi furthered her solo activities with variety show appearances, including Sister’s Slam Dunk Season 2 and Idol Drama Operation Team. In 2019, the singer made her highly-anticipated solo debut with “Birthday” which peaked at the 5th spot on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart. The following year, she released “What Are You Waiting For?” which earned her her first music show win thru Mnet’s M Countdown. Jeon Somi continued her success as a solo artist with the release of “Dumb Dumb” which peaked at numbers eight and nine on Gaon Digital Chart and the Billboard Korea K-Pop 100. The same year, she came out with her first studio album, XOXO, debuting at number six on the Gaon Album Chart and selling 55,223 copies in the month of November. The lead single, “XOXO”, also marked her first Billboard Global 200 appearance.
