Carly Rae Jepsen at Wanderland 2023: Really, really, really good news to fans

Carly Rae Jepsen will play a full, headlining set at Wanderland: The Comeback — the coming edition of the Wanderland Music & Arts Festival on 4 and 5 March 2023 at the Filinvest Grounds in Alabang.

The Canadian singer-songwriter's appearance in Wanderland, initially dropped as hints, has been discussed by her fans online — analyzed in detail to confirm that she's returning after her last concert in Manila in 2019.

Jepsen first drew attention after placing third on the fifth season of Canadian Idol in 2007. Her independently produced debut studio album, Tug of War, was released in Canada in 2008, before it came out internationally in 2011.

In 2012, her single "Call Me Maybe" sold over 18 million copies and went to No. 1 in more than 19 countries.

Her second album, Kiss, which included the single "Good Time" with Owl City, was in the Top 10 in Canadian and US charts.

In 2015, her third studio album, Emotion, which featured elements of 1980s dance-pop and synth-pop, yielded the singles "I Really Like You," "Your Type," and "Run Away with Me."
