    Epik High Brings “Epik High Is Here” Concert Tour to Manila in November

    Get your champagne on and enter the alluring world of South Korean alternative hip-hop veterans, EPIK HIGH!

    Being the first KPOP act to tour APAC since the pandemic, CK Star Entertainment is proud to present and announce Epik High’s Asia Pacific Tour 2022 – Chapter 2 in Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Taipei. After having sold out their shows across Singapore, Melbourne, Sydney, Bangkok, and Jakarta, EPIK HIGH shows no signs of stopping.

    Fans in Manila can rejoice at the good fortune of being the first Southeast Asian stop in the Asia Pacific leg of Chapter 2 of the tour. For one night only, EPIK HIGH Is Here – Manila will be staged at New Frontier Theater on Wednesday, 30th of November 2022.

    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.

    LACUNA COIL’s legacy in the industry is truly engraved for decades as they continue to be icons of metal bands worldwide. Throughout their career, they have proven that they are on the pedestal of bands worthy of glory, having been awarded multiple accolades such as the 2012 Metal Female Voices Fest Award for the Best Album, the 2016 Metal Hammer Award for the Best International Band, and the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best Live Act.

    Boys Like Girls finally returning to Manila in October 2022

    Boys Like Girls will be performing in Manila for the first time in over a decade on October 10 and 11, 2022 at the New Frontier Theater.

    At these one-of-a-kind concerts, Boys Like Girls will perform their ground-breaking first album, simply titled “Boys Like Girls,” in its entirety, alongside fan favorites from their wide discography.

    Boys Like Girls—Martin Johnson on lead vocals, Paul DiGiovanni on lead guitar, Gregory James on bass, and John Keefe on drums—put out their self-titled debut album in 2006. It was certified gold in the US and sold over 700,000 copies and its songs “The Great Escape” and “Thunder” both reached the top 10 on the US Billboard singles charts.

    Those who have witnessed this pop punk band in concert before will understand the significance of this tour. Here’s your chance to see Boys Like Girls live and discover out why their performances are so unforgettable if you haven’t before.

    The band was supposed to tour Asia in April 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour was moved to September 2020. The band had to put the tour off until September 2021 and then again until October 2022 because of ongoing concerns about global health.

    Limited tickets for both shows are available at ticketnet.com.ph and outlets.
