<div><span style="color:#000000">After what seemed like an eternity of waiting for excited die-hard Filipino fans, it’s finally happening soon: English modern pop/rock outfit <a href="~/"><u><b>THE 1975</b></u></a> are coming to Manila, and they’re performing all the hits and treating their loyal Pinoy fans to a concert experience like no other for TWO consecutive nights in a row.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000">That’s right: the band – composed of vocalist <strong>Matty Healy</strong>,<strong> Adam Hann</strong>, <strong>George Daniel</strong> and <strong>Ross MacDonald</strong> – are scheduled to deliver their hits at the famed <b>SM Mall of Asia Arena</b> on <b>May 3</b><b>rd</b><b> </b>and<b> 4</b><b>th</b>. While tickets for the first night were immediately sold-out after the announcement came last year, due to popular demand, tickets were released for a second night late last year, proving the strong clamor for both the group and their hit singles, which include <a href="~/"><u><strong>“Settle Down,”</strong></u></a> <strong><a href="~/"><u>“She’s American”</u></a>,</strong> <a href="~/"><u><strong>“If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know),”</strong></u></a> <a href="~/"><u><strong>“Chocolate,”</strong></u></a> <a href="~/"><u><strong>“Sex”</strong></u></a>, <a href="~/"><u><strong>“Happiness,”</strong></u></a> <a href="~/"><u><strong>“I’m in Love with You”</strong></u></a> and countless others. </span></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BsYE078RQCI" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xeDGfk0UJw8" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><span style="color:#000000">Garnering over two million in collected sales since their inception, <a href="~/"><u><strong>The 1975</strong></u></a> remain to be one of the most sought-after live acts in the world. Having released their <a href="~/"><u><strong>self-titled debut album</strong></u></a> in 2013, the band was well-received both by fans and critics, and went on a consistent quest for world domination with their 2016 follow-up <a href="~/"><u><strong><i>I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are so Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It</i></strong></u></a> which reached no. 1 in the US, UK and Australia, and awarded <strong>Album of the Year</strong> by <a href="~/"><u><b>NME</b></u></a>. From then on, they consistently proved that theirs was a winning formula, with subsequent well-received releases, namely <i><a href="~/"><u><strong>A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships</strong></u></a> </i>(2018),<i> <a href="~/"><u><strong>Notes on a Conditional Form</strong></u></a> </i>(2020), and their most-recent fifth studio album<i> <a href="~/"><u><strong>Being Funny in a Foreign Language</strong></u></a></i> (2022). </span></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rR1lgEMMJwo" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div><span style="color:#000000">And as mentioned, the band intends to play ALL the hits for their legion of fans.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000">AND the exciting news doesn’t stop there, because joining <strong>The 1975</strong> during their two-night run here in Manila is rising indie/bedroom pop artist <a href="~/"><u><b>WALLICE</b></u></a>. Equal parts mysterious – as her music only recently surfaced on streaming platforms after years of gaining momentum on video streaming platform youtube.com – and sonically adventurous, the Los Angeles, USA-based artist has been making waves with young music fans from all over the world with her wonderfully quirky sound that combines electronic music with a myriad of other genres under the indie-umbrella and her brutally honest lyricism. So Filipino fans will definitely be in for a great time.</span></div><div><iframe allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="533" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fphoto%2F%3Ffbid%3D606846578159913%26set%3Da.416883360489570&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" width="500"></iframe></div><p dir="ltr">&quot;<em>24-year-old singer-songwriter <a href="~/"><u><strong>Wallice</strong></u></a> has a knack for powerful storytelling</em>.” <strong>UPROXX</strong></p><p dir="ltr">&quot;[<a href="~/"><u><strong>‘90s American Superstar’</strong></u></a> <em>EP] makes a strong case for <strong>Wallice</strong> to play indie pop’s next star.

The EP is yet another triumph in songwriting, with Wallice giving a masterclass in Gen Z’s hopes, dreams and failures. Today we are getting our first look at new music with Wallice gifting us the new song <a href="~/"><u><b>“Best Friend.”</b></u></a> The song is a nostalgic, gritty, angsty look at friendship, romantic and/or platonic as Wallice explains “A recurrent theme in my music has been friendship. I think this song can easily relate to both friendship and the friendship within a romantic relationship. I’ve had a couple falling outs with various friends throughout my life, I think it’s just part of life and growing up. Even though that friendship might not serve you anymore it’s still so easy to reminisce on it and miss it.”</p><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ihH0RMaes8k" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p><span style="color:#000000">This marks <strong>Wallice</strong>’s first new single following</span><b> </b><a href="https://wallicemusic.ffm.to/japan.OPR"><b>“Japan”</b></a> and her EP, <a href="https://wallicemusic.ffm.to/90samericansuperstar"><b><i>90s American Superstar</i></b></a>, <span style="color:#000000">last year.
