And just like that, the Philippines has become a major pitstop for a lot of musicians. Earlier Tuesday, four concerts to be held in the second quarter of the year were announced, supplementing the already-confirmed show of Sam Smith in May and the Wanderland music festival in April. Check them out below:
1. Robin Thicke at the first Dream Fields Music Festival. The American singer/songwriter is the first headliner and really, the only performer, confirmed and announced by festival organizers. Dream Fields Music Festival will be on May 30 at Evia Vista Land in Dasmariñas, Cavite. Anyway, tickets will go on sale tomorrow via Ticketnet, Ticketworld, and SM Tickets. The general admission early bird rate is at PHP3,150. Early bird ticket rates will be until April 16 only.
2. Alt-J at Solaire Resort and Casino in Parañaque. Indie fans went crazy earlier when, Secret Sound Asia announced Tuesday that the band from Leeds, England will be performing on May 19 at 8pm in The Theater, Solaire. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow 10am sharp at Ticketworld. Ticket prices start at PHP3,750.
3. MuteMath at Bonifacio High Street Ampitheater in Bonifacio Global City Taguig. It was rock photographer Niña Sandejas who broke the news about MuteMath’s Metro Manila gig. MuteMath, in case you don’t know, is a heavy band that plays…math rock. Think crazy beats and crazier syncopations. We don’t know how they’ll be doing their signature crowd surf move at the ampitheater of BHS, but that’s reason enough to catch them live, no? The band will be playing on March 31 at 7pm for free.
4. Kye Kye at Bonifacio High Street Ampitheater. And another scoop from the rock photographer, Kye Kye, an American indietronica band will be playing the same venue as MuteMath on Easter Sunday, April 5 at 7pm. They share the same organizers — Bonifacio High Street and Church Simplified — so that’s why this Easter gig is also free.
