Niki’s ‘Buzz World Tour’ rocks in March

One of today’s most dynamic singer-songwriters and producers, Niki, has announced an additional date for her Buzz World Tour in Asia, produced by Live Nation. 

Following the swift sell-out of 20,000 tickets for her first two shows at the Mall of Asia Arena in the Philippines, a third date has been added in response to overwhelming demand. The newly- announced show will take place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on 1 March 2025. 

Niki’s third studio album, Buzz, released on 9 August via 88rising, captures the feeling of being on the precipice of discovery across 13 introspective tracks. It includes fan-favorites such as the summer anthem “Tsunami,” the astrologically-inspired “Blue Moon,” the playful lead single “Too Much of a Good Thing,” the bittersweet title track “Buzz,” and the emotionally raw “Did You Like Her In The Morning?.”

In Buzz, Niki’s songwriting remains as intimate as ever, inspired by lane-paving female artists like Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Carly Simon and Liz Phair, of whom influenced her confessional, honest lyrics and guitar-driven sound. To capture the album’s exploratory spirit, she tapped producers Tyler Chester (Madison Cunningham, Sara Bareilles) and Ethan Gruska (Fiona Apple, Phoebe Bridgers) as collaborators, who helped bring a new depth to her creative and personal sea change.

For Niki, things have been happening progressively since she was a high schooler in Jakarta, Indonesia, where she penned lovesick poems in English class and performed acoustic guitar covers of American pop songs on YouTube. With a six-string in hand, and her family and classmates cheering her on from the audience, Nicole Zefanya then staked her claim to global stardom as Niki.
