Over the past years, Manila’s music scene has continued to thrive as Filipino fans are treated to live concerts by Hollywood’s most celebrated musicians. The art community, too, is alive, and continues to vigorously grow with the local artists’ tenacity.

Here is a peek at what to expect in the coming months.

Best known for the songs “Fascination,” “In This Neighborhood” and” Troubled Mind” as well as covers of “I Say A Little Prayer,” “If I Ever Lose This Heaven” and “It’s Too Late,” London-based ‘80s band Workwhy is coming to Manila for a one-night-only performance on August 10, 2018, at The Theatre at Solaire.

They went on to have international Top 10 and number 1 hits with “Caught in The Middle,” “Same Old Brand New You,” their cover of the A-Ha classic “Take On Me,” “Everytime” and “Heaven by Your Side.”
