After last summer’s concert overload, the rainy season offers a short but sweet respite for our wallets before the next wave of shows hit Manila. Or at least, that’s what we’d like to think.
Lee Min Ho kicks off the third quarter storm with his first-ever concert tour, followed by a barrage of alternative bands whose repertoires range from indie to pop-punk to metalcore. Rock continues to rule the concert scene for most of August until dance-pop princess Rihanna breaks the stream of predominantly male acts in September. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for more surprises in the coming weeks.
