    We say, Mama Mama Moo~

    MAMAMOO officially debuted in 2014 with the extended play, Hello, led by “Mr. Ambiguous”. Their debut received praise from critics which considered it one of the debuts in K-Pop for 2014. “Mr. Ambiguous” entered the Gaon Digital Chart at number 53 and peaked at number 19. They then followed up Hello with the EP Piano Man and a single of the same name.

    The following year, the girl group came out with Pink Funky and the single “Um Oh Ah Yeh”. The song gave the girls their first top-three single on the Gaon Chart. In 2016, they held their first solo concert in South Korea, the 2016 Mamamoo Concert-Moosical. The tickets to the show were sold out in one minute.

    MAMAMOO continued their breakthroughs with their first studio album, Melting. The lead single, “You’re the Best”, debuted at number three on the Gaon Chart and peaked at number one the following week. In addition, the girl group received their first music show win with “You’re the Best”.

    MAMAMOO then launched their “Four Seasons, Four Colors” album series in 2018, beginning with the pre-release single “Paint Me” in January. The group’s sixth EP, Yellow Flower, which included the single “Starry Night,” served as the inaugural entry in the album series. “Starry Night” became one of the group’s most successful singles, earning platinum certification from the Korean Music & Content Association for 100 million streams in November and 2.5 million paid downloads in July 2019.

    The girl group continued the album series with Red Moon, with the single “Egotistic” in July 2018. Red Moon, which debuted at number 25, was the group’s first appearance on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. Blue;s, the third album in the series, was released in November 2018, along with the single “Wind Flower.” In March 2019, Mamamoo released White Wind, the final piece of the “Four Seasons, Four Colors” album series, along with its lead track “Gogobebe.”

    MAMAMOO competed in the Mnet reality show, Queendom, where they came in first place. Following the end of the show, the girl group released their second Korean studio album, Reality in Black, and its lead song, “Hip” in November. Reality in Black debuted at number one on the Gaon Album Chart, marking the group’s third number-one debut. Additionally, “Hip” reached the top of the Billboard World Digital Songs Sales chart, becoming their first number-one single.

    In June 2021, they released their 11th EP, WAW, with the lead track “Where Are We Now”. WAW topped the iTunes albums rankings in 21 different countries and sold over 40,000 domestic copies on its first day of release. In September, I Say Mamamoo: The Best, a compilation album, was then released alongside the lead track “Mumumumuch.” The album peaked at number eight on the Gaon Album Chart.

    This year, MAMAMOO marked their return with their 12th EP, Mic On, and the lead single “Illella”.

    Epik High

    Having previously made waves in the Philippines at the SM Skydome for their EPIK HIGH Parade Tour in 2014, this new tour marks the trio’s second concert in Manila in conjunction with the release of their highly anticipated 10th studio album in two parts, EPIK HIGH is Here 上 (Part 1) & EPIK HIGH Is Here 下 (Part 2).

    The split of the album was intentional, mirroring the way traditional Korean novels were released in two parts giving time to take a break and process what you have consumed before moving on to the next. According to a recent interview with RollingStone magazine, the message behind this newest release is that EPIK HIGH is here even when you think no one is willing to listen. This album shares wisdom that only comes from the experience of 20 years of lows and some pretty epic highs.

    Fans of EPIK HIGH – High Skool – will learn the group’s independence has merely whetted their capacity for producing the experimental and provocative music all have come to love. Expect to rave to emotive hip-hop track “Born Hater” or universally loved hit “Happen Ending”, and be challenged not to join in a nostalgic sing-along to classic chart-topper “Fly”. Along with the characteristically playful antics of the forever young-at-heart man band, fans can be assured of a night to remember like no other.

    About EPIK HIGH

    A trailblazing trio formed by Tablo, Mithra Jin, and DJ Tukutz, EPIK HIGH debuted in 2003. Their singular blend of hip-hop and sharp lyrics, which openly discuss themes like mental health and social issues, turned them into one of the most pivotal groups in Korean music. Throughout their twenty years together, they released hundreds of anthemic songs, inspired artists like BTS, and were the first Korean act to ever play at Coachella in 2016.

  • The Vamps set to bring back memories with a 10th-anniversary tour in Manila

    The Vamps set to bring back memories with a 10th-anniversary tour in Manila

    The Vamps are gearing up to celebrate a decade together with a Greatest Hits Tour on February 17 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Playing a bit from each album and celebrating all the best moments from the past 10 years.

    The British pop-rock band began their career on YouTube and have become extremely popular over the past decade. In a short amount of time, they went from playing in their parents’ garage to playing in front of thousands at arenas.

    The Vamps (consisting of Connor Ball, Bradley Simpson, Tristan Evans, and James Brittain-McVey) are the first band to headline London’s O2 for five consecutive years. They have over six billion streams, over two billion views on their YouTube channel, and have released five albums. Since their platinum-selling debut album, Meet The Vamps, hit number 2 on the UK charts in 2014, the band has kept up a dream-like pace of albums (four in total, including 2017’s chart-topping Night & Day (Night Edition), which includes the Matoma-assisted global smash All Night), singles (eight top 40 hits, including five top 10s), and world tours.

    After the tour for 2018’s guest-heavy Top 3 hit Night & Day (Day Edition), the band took a short break. Just as they were making their new album, Cherry Blossom, a global pandemic hit. The title is a reflection of the album’s theme of rebirth.

    It’s a new start for The Vamps. Their most personal and fully-formed work up to this point, led by the dirty, sky-high banger Married in Vegas was made from afar while the band was in lockdown. The forced rest gave the band the time and space to carefully plan what they wanted the album to be and say. The Vamps have changed from a bright-eyed boy band with instruments to a full-fledged pop band that makes hits for arenas.

    LNPH presale is happening on November 8, 2022 from 10am to 11:59pm via livenation.ph and November 9, 2022 will be the general onsale via smtickets.com and outlets nationwide.
