    Korean boy group P1Harmony visits the PH in September

    The six-member Korean boy group P1Harmony, composed of KEEHO, THEO, JIUNG, INTAK, SOUL, and JONGSEOB, has just confirmed their first-ever visit to the Philippines and will be performing at the New Frontier Theater on September 9, 2023. Ticketing details have been announced by the global concert promoter, Live Nation Philippines, and will be available at TicketNet outlets and via www.ticketnet.com.ph.

    PH1Harmony entered the mainstream music market with its breakout EP โ€œDISHARMONY: STAND OUT” and its title track โ€˜SIRENโ€™ in October 2020, with all five tracks written or co-written by the band.

    P1Harmony historically debuted with the release of the box-office production film โ€˜P1H: A New World Beginsโ€™, co-starring some of the biggest names in Korean Entertainment. โ€˜P1H: A New World Beginsโ€™ stars P1Harmony members and tells the story of P1Harmonyโ€™s newly created K-POP cinematic universe of boys from different dimensions who gather together to find the โ€˜Star of Hope.โ€™ A 20-minute highlight version of the movie was premiered through Amazon Musicโ€™s Twitch channel, followed by an exclusive interview with well-known KPOP journalist Jeff Benjamin.

    P1Harmony completed their first-ever concert tour from March to May 2022, in the US, with all 11 tour dates selling out in less than 30 minutes, and the band made another surprise by collaborating with R&B singer, songwriter, and producer Pink Sweat$ with the song โ€œGotta Get Back,โ€ released in May 2022.

    P1Harmony released their 5th mini album, โ€œHARMONY: SET IN,โ€ and had their second US tour from January to February 2023 with 12 stops, including Nashville, in which they are the first K-POP band to perform at the historic Grand Ole Opry. During their album promotion and second US tour, P1Harmony appeared on popular US TV programs such as โ€œThe Kelly Clarkson Show,โ€ โ€œThe Great Day Houston,โ€ and โ€œGMA3.โ€

    P1Harmony also had TikTok Live on NBC’s โ€˜Today Showโ€™ and reached around 12k viewers, which makes the โ€˜top viewer countsโ€™ that Today Show ever had. P1Harmony won the “Emerging Artist Award” from the 2022 HANTEO MUSIC AWARD, and their latest single โ€˜Back Downโ€™ was listed in MTVโ€™s โ€˜Bop Shopโ€™ and Sweety Highโ€™s โ€˜The Best 6 K-Pop Tracks,โ€™ proving P1Harmony worldwide influence as a remarkable group.

    Expanding their connection and spectrum in the industry, P1Harmony had New Hope Club, a famous British band, as their opening guest in NY show during the tour and will be joining the opening stage of New Hope Club in the Seoul concert.

    To this date, P1Harmony has also reached Billboardโ€™s #1 Emerging Artists (RE); #51 Billboard 200; #35 Artist 100; #3 World Albums; #8 Top Album Sales; #8 Top Current Album Sales; and #11 Independent Albums.

    With their fast-growing stardom and greater-than-ever success into 2023, P1Harmony is looking to continue its momentum and reach new career heights and global recognition through an aggressive promotion strategy in the US. They have already established themselves as a more dynamic and exciting K-POP group with high-quality music and scene-stealing performances. They will continue to build on that momentum, focusing on connecting with International audiences.

    Tickets to the P1Harmony concert at the New Frontier Theater on September 9 will be available during the LNPH presale on July 1 (Monday) from 10:00 am to 11:59p while general on sale will be on July 2 (Tuesday) at 12:00 pm onwards.

    Dreamcatcher to Return to Manila for “Under the Moonlight” Concert in August

    DREAMCATCHER, THE FACE OF ROCK IN K-POP, IS COMING BACK TO MANILA!

    After 4 staggering years of wait, get ready to scream your hearts out with Dreamcatcher as they take the โ€œMoonlightโ€ in Manila on August 28, 2023, at the New Frontier Theater.

    Dreamcatcher, the face of rock in K-pop, is comprised of 7 members JiU, SuA, Siyeon, Handong, Dami, and Gahyeon. Fondly called by their fandom InSomnia as Deukae, they fuse mysterious horror and fantasy themes with slick dance-pop, rock, and metal. They rose quickly into the K-pop mainstream with a series of EPs in 2017 and 2018 mainly focusing on 7 nightmares/fears represented by each member.

    After the success of the Nightmare series, they embarked on a new chapter with the Apocalypse series starting with their second full album, “Apocalypse: Save Us”. The album boasts 14 songs including solos from each member. The title track “Maison” is an electrifying synth-rock sending out the strong message of saving the environment. This got them their first music show win in their career, and a second one too!
    “Apocalypse: Follow Us” with its title track “Vision” was the second installment in the series. The dark and edgy electronic rock song expressed Dreamcatcherโ€™s vision of the apocalyptic future if we continue to fail to care for the environment.

    The culmination of the Apocalypse series comes with their recent release, their 8th mini-album, “Apocalypse: From Us” with its J-rock-sounding title track “Bon Voyage” and truly what an awesome way to bid farewell to the Apocalypse series with โ€œBon Voyageโ€ getting them their 3rd and 4th music show wins.

  • MR. BIG to Bid Filipino Fans A Proper Farewell with “The BIG Finish” Concert in August

    MR. BIG to Bid Filipino Fans A Proper Farewell with “The BIG Finish” Concert in August

    Simply put, there is no other hard rock supergroup that is more important than Mr. Big.

    With over 4 million albums sold worldwide, the band โ€“ vocalist Eric Martin, guitarist Paul Gilbert, bassist Billy Sheehan, and original drummer Pat Torpey โ€“ has released some of the most beloved pop/rock tunes worldwide, influenced an entire generation of musicians and forever changed the music game by becoming the standard for both technical proficiency and excellent song craftsmanship for 35 years.

    This is why it is a gargantuan โ€“ and definitely bittersweet โ€“ moment for PULP Live World to announce that the highest-selling supergroup has, indeed, included Manila, Philippines among its final stops on its The BIG Finish farewell tour this August 9th, 2023.

    Most notably, the band has also formed one of the deepest connections to its worldwide fanbase throughout the decadesโ€ฆ especially to the Filipino people. This will be Mr. Bigโ€™s fifth time in Manila, and the band is just as excited to see their fans come out.

    Though original drummer and co-founder Pat Torpey sadly passed in February of 2018 due to Parkinsonโ€™s Disease, the band is proud to announce that they will be joined by longtime friend Nick Virgilio, who Gilbert shares, was โ€œa fan of Patโ€™s, and is the closest to getting the spirit of the late drummerโ€™s breadth of skill.โ€ Virgilio is now-among the list of the few prominent musicians to have played with Mr. Big, which includes drummers Matt Starr and guitar superstar Richie Kotzen.

    Of course, it wouldnโ€™t be a proper goodbye if the band didnโ€™t deliver its biggest hits for one last time: โ€œTo Be With You,โ€ โ€œJust Take My Heart,โ€ โ€œGreen Tinted Sixties Mind,โ€ โ€œTake Cover,โ€ โ€œWild World,โ€ โ€œShine,โ€ โ€œGoinโ€™ Where The Wind Blowsโ€ are just a few classics in the bandโ€™s repertoire, having released 9 full-length studio albums, countless of live albums, singles and rarities from 1989 to the present. And for this tour, the band will be playing their breakthrough Platinum-selling 1991 album Lean Into It in its entirety.

    โ€œWe wanted to do a proper farewell, and this seems like the right way to do it,โ€ bassist Sheehan shares, while vocalist Martin adds: โ€œIโ€™m glad weโ€™re getting a chance to do it all onstage together as Mr. Big again and raise a flag to everything weโ€™ve done as a band through the years; I love playing with these guys, and if Iโ€™m being honest, I donโ€™t want it to ever end โ€“ but if this is really the end, then I want us all to have a happy ending together.โ€

    Guitarist Paul Gilbert concludes: โ€œMusic is like time travel โ€“ you can hear something that takes you back to 1992 โ€“ and on this tour, I want to give people the opportunity to time-travelโ€ฆ good music is timeless.โ€

    PULP Live World Presents: Mr. Big – The BIG Finish will be held at the SM North Edsa Skydome. Tickets can be purchased at all SM Tickets outlets nationwide and online via www.smtickets.com.

    iKON is Ready for Take-Off and Return to Manila

    iKON is coming back to the last place they met you, Philippine iKONICs!

    Brace for impact as iKON lands back in the Philippines to bring their massive world tour, the 2023 iKON WORLD TOUR TAKE OFF IN MANILA this August at the Araneta Coliseum!

    Since their inception in 2015, iKON is known as a powerhouse group that gave life to hit songs such as โ€œLove Scenarioโ€ and โ€œKilling Meโ€ among others. Over the span of their career, they have released 18 singles, 4 studio albums, and 4 extended plays. This and their wide discography speak so much of the membersโ€™ talents โ€“ bringing hits that topped charts and amassed several accolades in a short amount of time.

    Now, they are back stronger than ever with the latest album Take Off. Take Off is also the first album that they have released since signing under their new agency, 143 Entertainment. The album comes along with the title track “U” which was composed and written by Bobby. Its music video now has over 9.1 million YouTube views. Take Off features nine other songs; “Tantara”, “Rum Pum Pum”, “Like a Movie”, “Driving Slowly”, “Never Forget You”, “All the Way Here”, “Fighting”, and “Kiss Me”. This same album has also broken iKONโ€™s sales record as it gained over 90,000 copies sold on its first day of release. The record was previously held by their fourth mini-album, FLASHBACK which had over 70,000 units sold during its first week. iKON’s latest album only took one day to surpass FLASHBACK‘s first-week sales.

    In 2023, nothing can stop members JAY, SONG, BOBBY, DK, JU-NE, and CHAN from conquering the world through a massive tour they have launched as a promotion of their newest album. This tour started in Seoul, South Korea, and spans major countries in Asia, US, and Europe.

    Each time they shout their intro โ€œGet ready, Itโ€™s Showtime!โ€, iKON definitely puts their best foot forward in giving an awesome show beyond expectation. In 2018, they did a sold-out show in the Philippines with the tour โ€œiKON Continue Tourโ€ and just last year, they flew back to the Philippines as the headliner of โ€œK-Pop Masterz 2โ€. Without a doubt, they carry this same energy as they continue to explore their music and identity as a group.

    iKONICs, everything is all set for iKONโ€™s return so make sure youโ€™re all present to welcome them once again with the hottest energy and warmest cheer in the world!

    Ebe Dancel to Headline First Major Concert in Cebu City

    The highly anticipated show will feature a career-spanning set from Ebe Dancel, as well as the big screen debut of โ€˜Sa Wakasโ€™ documentary.

    Filipino singer-songwriter Ebe Dancel will be staging his first major concert in Cebu on August 5, 2023 (Saturday), from 7PM onwards, at the Pacific Grand Ballroom in the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.

    Presented by GNN Entertainment Productions and Artist Ko Multi-purpose Cooperative, in partnership with Balcony Entertainment, Ebe Dancel Live In Cebu will feature his career-spanning work as a solo artist and as the frontman of the iconic pop-rock band Sugarfree.

    โ€œEbe Dancel’s first major concert in Cebu is long overdue,โ€ Artist Ko Multi-purpose Cooperative Vice Chairman Jude Gitamondoc shares in a press statement. โ€œEbe has a lot of solid fans in the Visayas, and we want them to experience Ebe’s artistry closer to home. Cebuanos love Ebe because he is authentic. His songs have grit, intellect, and integrity, the stuff we expect and value in our own artists. We can’t wait for Cebuanos to experience all that in the flesh come August 5.โ€

    Best known as the proponent and organizer of Vispop, the songwriting campaign that brought Bisaya music into the mainstream, Artist Ko will be teaming up with concert promoter GNN Entertainment Productions to mark an auspicious start for a meaningful partnership in the live music scene and bring more engaging events to Cebu in the near future.

    Gitamondoc adds, โ€œPart of that success was our sensitivity to the Cebuano audienceโ€”what they like to hear, what they are drawn to. Cebu is not just a city. It is a community with a strong identity and a lot of shared values. So when GNN Entertainment Productions approached us to partner with them for this event, that signaled to us their commitment to being respectful to the community.โ€

    His biggest hits include “Huwag Ka Nang Umiyak,” “Hari Ng Sablay,” “Mariposa,” “Burn Out,” “Tulog Na,” “Prom,” “Telepono,” “Cuida,” “Bawat Daan,” and more!

  • Philippines to serve as the first stop of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Tour in 2024.

    Philippines to serve as the first stop of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Tour in 2024.

    The Philippines will serve as the first stop of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour in 2024.

    Fans of the band in the country who were dissatisfied with the band’s initial announcement for the Asian part of their Music Of The Spheres World Tour may finally breathe a sigh of relief now that the band has added three more countries in Southeast Asia Asia. On the 19th of January in 2024, the music group that won a Grammy would be performing at the Philippine Arena.

    With their upcoming performance at the Philippine Arena, Coldplay will become only the third international band to ever do so at the world’s largest indoor arena.

    The announcement comes a few days after a teaser video featuring Coldplay tour advertisements playing on the huge widescreen of Philippine Arena was posted by Live Nation Philippines.

    As a result of selling more than 7 million tickets over the course of their Music of the Spheres World Tour, Coldplay were named the Favourite Touring Artist at the 2022 American Music Awards. This achievement was the most for any tour over the course of the past two years.

    Coldplay’s current world tour, titled Music Of The Spheres, has produced 47% fewer emissions of carbon dioxide than the band’s previous stadium tour, which took place in 2016/2017. This reduction is a part of the band’s efforts to be more environmentally responsible. In addition, five million trees have been planted all across the world, one for each person who attended the event.

    Coldplay have also confirmed they will make a limited number of Infinity Tickets available for the shows at a later date. Infinity Tickets are released for every Coldplay show to make the Music Of The Spheres World Tour accessible to fans for an affordable price. They will cost the equivalent of $20 USD per ticket.

  • SAOSIN to Take Philippines on an Explosive Music Journey in November

    SAOSIN to Take Philippines on an Explosive Music Journey in November

    Letโ€™s set off our emo hearts and prepare to bang our heads to the tune of the tracks of one of the most sought-after American rock bands, SAOSIN, as they head to the Philippines with a massive tour!

    PULP Live World together with Skesh Entertainment proudly announces SAOSIN ASIA TOUR 2023 LIVE IN MANILA happening on November 3, Friday, and November 4, Saturday at Skydome, SM City North EDSA. This show is a trip down memory lane and an experiential chronicle of the bandโ€™s epic journey in the music industry as we witness them perform all their albums and hits live at this special two-night show in Manila! The show is also frontline by Thai alternative metal band, Defying Decay, to make it more explosive!

    Saosin

    SAOSIN originated in Orange County, California in 2003. Since its inception, the band has released three studio albums, three extended plays (EPs), and eight singles. Their first EP, Translating The Name, became their ticket to success as it was greatly received by a generation of emo and post-hardcore rock fans in the US. As soon as its release, it immediately earned over 62,000 album sales. At present, SAOSIN has released a vinyl version of the said EP together with a special merch collection which has also immediately sold out after a few weeks!

    In 2006, SAOSIN released its first full-length album, Saosin. The album is welcomed with good feedback from music critics and listeners. The first single, “Voices” was listed on the โ€œTop 46 post-hardcore songs of the 2000sโ€, and the second single “You’re Not Alone” was listed on the Top 10 Essential Emo Power Ballads by the Alternative Press.

    Their second studio album, In Search of Solid Ground, and third studio album, Along The Shadow, followed the success of their previous album and singles. Aside from sold-out albums, SAOSINโ€™s career soared as they went on consecutive tours from the US going all the way to Europe, Asia, and Australia. It was indeed a triumphant story since they are a band who started as front liners of other bands and then, they get to travel around the globe as they headline huge music festivals and do their solo shows.

    In 2023, SAOSIN is set to conquer Asia, including Manila as one of their stops, with a gigantic solo show that will surely trigger nostalgia in the hearts of their long-time fans. Singing all their albums and hits, cover to cover, SAOSIN members Anthony Green (Vocals), Beau Burchell (Guitars), Chris Sorenson (Bass), and Alex Rodriguez (Drums), invite all Filipino emo and rock fans to join them in this one-night special show.

    On November 3 and 4, let go of your control and just go with the flow of your emotions as SAOSIN takes us on an explosive musical journey!

    One Ok Rock

    Formed in 2005, the bandโ€™s journey to the top was undoubtedly fueled by their penchant for making rock music exciting again โ€“ with their innate ability to add flare and an unmistakable magnitude to their expansive repertoire of stadium-sized anthems, like โ€œWherever You Are,โ€ โ€œWe Are,โ€ โ€œStand Out Fit Inโ€ and the uplifting โ€œThe Beginning,โ€ to name a few. Though critics have attempted to label their music in many ways โ€“ emo, post-hardcore, post-grunge, or modern electronic/alternative โ€“ the music of ONE OK ROCK is just undeniably grandiose, and does not let up not even a bit. In short, Filipino fans will definitely have the time of their lives singing and screaming along to each word.

    Itโ€™s no easy feat to perfectly describe and encapsulate the magnitude that Japanese rock superstars ONE OK ROCK have brought to modern music. Simply because ONE OK ROCK is not just one thing โ€“ itโ€™s not just a band, itโ€™s not just the music or the incendiary live performances or the unique personas of each of its members, noโ€ฆ ONE OK ROCK is an experience โ€“ one that is both irresistible and unforgettable once you have your first taste of the excitingly magnificent production they have since perfected.

  • Chapter 2: A New Beginning with Lee Seung Gi

    Chapter 2: A New Beginning with Lee Seung Gi

    Lee Seung Gi came back to his Philippine Airens.

    After a three-year absence from live performances caused by the pandemic, Korea’s triple-threat entertainer Lee Seung Gi kept his promise and made a return that made Filo Airens feel like waking up in a promised dream.

    The opening was very solemn. The team was able to pull up a VCR, a cue that led him on stage for his opening song, “The Dreamer’s Dream,” from his most recent album, “The Project.” For Airens, this is the album they cling to for comfort during the whole lockdown period. Lee Seung Gi greeted his Filipino Airens with “Mabuhay! Itโ€™s so good to see Filipino Airen and all my fans in the Philippines. Thank you very much! Sobrang na miss ko kayo! I am so honored to meet you guys at my live concert today, and I am very excited to see your passionate and warm welcome! We have been to Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, and Taiwan, and I think Manila is the best! You are the best!”

    SEE ALSO: Life Lately with Lee Seung Gi

    He explained that his first song is a bit emotional, but because of the fans’ warmest cheers, he felt more relaxed. It has been 4 years since he last came for his fan meeting, but last night was his first live concert, and he really wanted to visit the country as a singer, saying, “Life is better, right?”

    The Law Cafรฉ star checked his fans in every section, making sure they were able to see him. He shared that he had personal things to handle when he was in Korea and had this idea that he had to push for this live concert for his international fans, and seeing them enjoying it made him think he made a good decision, assuring them, “So sit and enjoy while I do my best.” This a cue for his second song, “Wind,” one of the fan favorites from his “And” album released last 2015.

    All emotions were held as it was followed by “Return” from his “Forest” album released in 2012, where he was nominated for various awards such as the MAMA Award for Song of the Year and won the Mnet Asian Music Award for Best Vocal Performanceโ€”Male and continued with โ€œThe Ordinary Manโ€ where he said after, “I am singing a ballad, but I felt like singing rock songs because you are very energetic.” And “The song I just sang has a story of a man with a broken heart who lost his first love; as soon as I sang the first verse, you were shouting, Seung Gi Saranghe [drawing a loud cheer from the fans], and as you can see, we are a live band, right? I think they are affected by your energy because theyโ€™ve been upbeat, and I feel very nice right now!”

    Lee Seung Gi was aware of the Filipino penchant for photography, and he teased that fans should only post videos in which he sounded the best. But the reality was, he sounded so outstanding in every one of them, with clear and clean high notes and runs! He explained that the first part of the concert expressed the different seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. And for the last 19 years, there have been so many seasons he spent doing different activities, and also, there have been so many memories he had to make with his fans, claiming “time flies so fast.”

    Next year will be his 20th anniversary, and he announced that he will be collaborating with different artists, his seniors, and juniors, and theyโ€™ll be creating a strong album for the fans and hopefully a world tour. He promised he’d be back in Manila for sure! He shared, “I have been acting as a senior and have been doing different variety shows, and Filipinos love variety shows, so I am thinking maybe I could try and have variety shows here as well.”

    Seung Gi, known as generous as he is, got to share an unreleased song with the fans and allow them to take video but begged not to upload it yet as it may be part of his 20th album. He worked together with Captain Planet [a Korean music production team consisting of members Lee Byeong Ho and Choi Soo Ji] on a song titled “I got to the wind that way” and left the stage after.

    The dazzling balladeer went back and performed “Forest,” brought nostalgia, one of his most emotional songs, followed by “Circle,” where he set the energy of the whole New Frontier to the highest high while transitioning to “Like a Flower” from his 2019 album “Shadow” where he exudes a charisma of a true rockstar while raising the roof higher for “Losing My Mind,” an OST for his top-notch drama โ€œMy Girlfriend Is a Gumihoโ€œwhere Airens went wild and even asked for one more! It was the ultimate fan service and probably the best of the night, where all positive energy was sustained!

    Just in time after a quick rest, Lee Seung Gi sang the songs most of his fans loved from his variety show “Master in the House,” including a cover of Kim Kyung Ho’s “Forbidden Love,” which ignited his passion for singing and proved his worth. garnering 35 million combined views on all platforms and counting, Lee Seung Gi confessed that the team had no idea that people would love it that much, and Kim Kwang-seok’s “Even Though I Love You.” He also did not fail to include his 2006 song โ€œDesire and Resentโ€ a song that requires equal emotions as per Airens.

    Known as South Korea’s “Triple Threat,” he is not only an exceptional singer and television host, but his hit dramas such as Brilliant Legacy, The King 2 Hearts, Gu Family Book, You’re All Surrounded, Hwayugi: A Korean Odyssey, Vagabond, Mouse, and most recently “The Law Cafรฉ” established his domineering presence and proved his supreme passion and ever-unmatched artistry, making him one of the most well-known Korean actors of his generation.

    Lee Seung Gi went back to the stage and performed his fan favorite “Delete”. He was able to express the VCR his team created and explain the past 19 years. All the things he experienced and the past he had were shown in the picture, as was what he planned for the future. He said the Philippines made him “nomo, nomo, nomo so much happy” before he went to sing “Music Time,” from his 2004 album “Dream of a Moth,” where he displayed the charisma an Airen and non-Airen would love, following with “Encore” and ending with his most loved song “Because youโ€™re my woman.”

    19 years after his debut, Lee Seung Gi is among the most respected entertainers in the industry. This global superstar made a significant contribution not just to the success of Korean music but also to the community. As announced, the proceeds from Lee Seung Gi’s concert will go to Operation Smile Philippines, with the hope that the show will bring children and their families greater pleasure.

    From innumerable โ€œMahal kita Philippines,โ€ and โ€œSalamat Po,โ€ Lee Seung Gi just proved how he is as a person and the Airens were pleased to see him forging his own way and living a life that brought him happiness โ€“ a real deal singer!

    Hereโ€™s to an inspirational journey of finding the positive in the midst of adversity! Please let it be known that you are a genuinely exceptional human being, a brilliant artist, and a truly remarkable person, and we have vowed to be there for you through your highest highs and lowest lows.

    Lee Seung Gi

    The event is presented by HumanMade, TG Entertainment, Faith & D Entertainment, and CDM Entertainment.
