Philippines represent.
Our good friends in phenomenal and FUN hardcore band BADWAVE have announced their first ever South East Asian tour. “We’re super stoked because this is our first time playing outside the Philippines. It’s a chance to experience new places we’ve never been to,” says the band as they reflect on the announcement.
If you haven’t heard or checked out this band…hit play on this bitch right now:
“This all started after we wrapped up our Philippines tour last year. We began wondering—what if we take this outside of the country? We waited for the right timing to make it happen, and then everything started to fall into place. Big shoutout to the homies who helped us out, especially BRIGAD 3 RECORDS.”
Brigad3 Records are also celebrating their 1 year anniversary putting on shows and tours for bands. They added, “Badwave has been putting in the work for a while, and it felt right to help them get what they’ve always deserved. Their energy is unreal, and I knew the community would show up to support. It’s time to show the Southeast Asian hardcore scene what Valkal City hardcore is all about. Shout out to Yagi, Del and Aqmal for helping out! Shout out Southeast Asian Hardcore.”
We can fully vouch for the band’s energy on stage. It’s unbelievable the amount of absolute joy the band brings to a show…you can kinda hear it in their music and visuals (look at the tour flyer below!), but you HAVE to see this shit live to truly feel it. So we’re highly encouraging you to turn out to these dates.
SEPT 5 – MANILA 🇵🇭
SEPT 12 – SINGAPORE 🇸🇬
SEPT 13 – MEDAN, INDONESIA 🇮🇩
SEPT 14 – KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA 🇲🇾
And what does the band want to see on the road? “We’re excited to see local acts, meet new friends, skate new spots, explore, and go on food trips—of course! So watch out, we’re bringing the full-on energy pinoy style! This is unreal for us, and we’re so hyped for this tour. Let’s go!”
GOOOOOO!!!
