PH J-rock fans, your moment has come! For years, Filipino fans have passionately called for their chance to be part of THE story.
Now, the wait is over and Manila is set to create a new chapter in its history as PULP Live World proudly brings the Japanese rock powerhouse, MY FIRST STORY, to Manila! For the very first time, MY FIRST STORY will be performing in Philippine Territory as MY FIRST STORY ASIA TOUR 2025 in MANILA happens at the New Frontier Theater on July 24, 2025.
Formed in Shibuya, Tokyo in 2011, MY FIRST STORY quickly soared to popularity with their music – a distinct fusion of post-hardcore intensity, melodic rock, and poignant lyricism. The band is led by vocalist Hiroki ‘Hiro’ Moriuchi, the younger brother of ONE OK ROCK’s Takahiro Moriuchi and son of two equally legendary Japanese singers. Alongside him are Teruki ‘Teru’ Nishizawa on guitar, a longtime friend and high school bandmate; Shohei ‘Kidz’ Sasaki on drums (who joined in 2016 after previously performing with the band Loth…); bassist and founding member Nobuaki ‘Nob’ Katou and Sho Tsuchiya, the band’s original guitarist, co-founder, and creative force. (Though Tsuchiya has been on hiatus since 2015 due to personal circumstances, his contributions as the band’s lead songwriter and producer continue to shape their music today…)
MY FIRST STORY’s career is filled with remarkable achievements that prove their influence both on Japanese and international music. Their self-titled debut sold over 20,000 copies, earning them a nomination as “Next Break Artist” at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, which led to their first sold-out independent show. Their subsequent albums “Antithese” (2016) and “S·S·S” (2020) both peaked at #4 on the Oricon Singles Chart and #7 on Billboard Japan’s Hot 100 charts. Their peak came in 2020 as their album “V” reached #2 on Oricon and #3 on Billboard Japan, marking their highest chart performance to date. Their 10th anniversary compilation album, “X”, also ranked at #6 on various charts, and their award-winning hit “I’m a Mess” earned “Best Lyricist Award” citations at the 2023 Japan Record Awards.
Beyond the charts, the band’s sold-out shows and festival appearances continue to prove their dominance in Japan’s rock music scene.
Their music has also expanded into gaming and film, as the band’s tracks have been featured in PS4’s Let It Die, SEGA’s Hortensia Saga: Ao no Kishidan, and have been used as both the opening and ending themes of the fourth season of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba,” (alongside another notable Japanese group HYDE..) and the ending themes for “Nobunaga Concerto” and films like Shinjuku Swan II.
MY FIRST STORY’s songs are known for their emotional storytelling, with anthems like “不可逆リプレイス (Fukagyaku Replace)”, “ALONE”, and “Missing You” resonating across generations of fans, while newer releases like “Break It Down” and “メリーゴーランド (Merry-Go-Round)” continue to break new ground and have been on numerous playlists of fans worldwide.
For one night only, Manila has the chance to experience the full, sonic power of MY FIRST STORY live onstage and in the flesh, with a setlist that spans more than a decade of evolution and intense emotional connection. Mark your calendars for July 24, 2025, as the MY FIRST STORY ASIA TOUR 2025 in MANILA is happening at the New Frontier Theater!

Breaking News – Six-time GRAMMY® Award-winning trio and one of the best-selling groups of all time, BLACK EYED PEAS is finally coming to Manila on August 27, 2025 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Presented by Wilbros Live. Tickets go on-sale on Saturday, March 15, 12PM via SMTickets.com and SM Tickets outlets nationwide.
Over the past 30 years, the Los Angeles trio–will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap, and Taboo–have achieved sales of 35 million albums and 120 million singles across seminal releases such as Elephunk, The E.N.D., and more. One of the era’s biggest acts, they emerged as “the second best-selling artist/group of all-time for downloaded tracks” (Nielsen) and landed on Billboard’s “Hot 100 Artists of the Decade”. In 2011, they dazzled the world with a landmark performance at the Super Bowl XLV Halftime Show.
They have released several chart-topping hits, including “I Gotta Feeling”, “Where is the Love?”, “Pump It”, “Boom Boom Pow”, “My Humps”, “Meet Me Halfway”, “Let’s Get It Started”, “The Time (Dirty Bit)”, “Don’t Stop The Party”, and many more.
Their eighth studio album, TRANSLATION, achieved staggering international success after its release in 2020. Featuring major collaborations with artists such as J Balvin, Ozuna, Maluma, Shakira, Nicky Jam, and Tyga, the long-player garnered eight nominations at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, including ‘Crossover Artist of the Year” and “Hot Latin Song of the Year” for “RITMO” and a nomination at the 2021 Latin Music Awards for ‘“Favorite Artists – Crossover”. The album resulted in a series of chart-topping singles, including the massively successful “RITMO (Bad Boys For Life)” [feat. J Balvin] and “MAMACITA” [feat. Ozuna and J.Rey Soul], both of which achieved #1 status on three Billboard Charts each, numerous award nominations, and gold, platinum, and diamond certifications globally. The knockout album single from December 2020, “GIRL LIKE ME” [feat. Shakira] continued this streak, achieving success on Latin and Top 40 radio, sparking a viral TikTok challenge in late 2020, and scooping “Best Latin” award at the MTV VMAs, while 2021’s ‘HIT IT’ with Saweetie and Lele Pons racked up 5.8M global audio streams, 1.1M US audio streams and almost 10M YouTube views in its first week alone.
The success of TRANSLATION demonstrated Black Eyed Peas’ ability to reinvent themselves along with the changing times, a fact reconfirmed in 2022 when the band reunited with Shakira and David Guetta for DON’T YOU WORRY, the first single to drop from their ninth studio album ELEVATION. The hugely successful lead single was swiftly followed by the Anitta and El Alfa collaboration SIMPLY THE BEST. In 2023 true BEP fashion, harnessing the musical forces of the Americas, the next single BAILAR CONTIGO (with reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee) followed by GUARANTEE (SUMMER MIX), has opened up yet another brilliant chapter in the continuing story of the Black Eyed Peas in nothing less than international chart-topping style.

“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).”

Known for her bold, genre-defying sound, this GRAMMY-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist is set to light up the stage in a way only she can. Adding another dynamic artist to its roster, Karpos Live proudly presents St. Vincent Live in Manila this 2025!
Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, made her debut in 2007 with Marry Me and quickly became one of the most innovative and fascinating figures in modern music. Her albums include Actor (2009), Strange Mercy (2011), and her self-titled 2014 release, which won the GRAMMY for Best Alternative Album. In 2017, MASSEDUCTION soared in the U.S. and UK, winning two more GRAMMYs, while 2021’s Daddy’s Home earned her another Best Alternative Album award. Her 2021-2022 global tour established her status as a live music powerhouse, headlining iconic venues like the Hollywood Bowl and Radio City Music Hall.
Her rise showed no signs of stopping as her first fully self-produced album, All Born Screaming, reveals St. Vincent at her most primal. The album blends spiritual desolation with rapturous acceptance. ‘If you’re born screaming, that’s a great sign,’ says Clark, “because it means you’re breathing. You’re alive. My god. It’s joyous. And then it’s also a protest. We’re all born in protest in a certain way. It’s terrifying to be alive, it’s ecstatic to be alive. It’s everything.”
Get set for another damn good time celebrating life, art, and sound!
Don’t miss your chance to experience St. Vincent’s electrifying Manila debut at Karpos Live on January 8, 2025, at the Filinvest Tent, Alabang!
