When in Manila, listen up! This is another moment for us to rejoice as five of our favorite bands will be sharing one stage as they perform for their Ayala Mall tour from February 16-19, 2012! This is a four-day concert of nonstop music and live performances. Go crazy as The Summer Set, A Rocket To The Moon, The Ready Set, A+ Dropouts and Forever The Sickest Kids, also known as LIV5, bring you music from your headphones to the main stage. This will be all five band’s first time visit to the Philippines and this should be exciting as, I’m pretty sure, they will be introduced to simple exotic food like balut which most bands have tried during their short visits.
