It’s quiet, melodic, and almost hypnotic—the kind of music that makes you sway without thinking about it. That’s Men I Trust, the Canadian trio returning to Manila on February 1, 2026. Fans first caught them at Wanderland 2023, where their laid-back grooves and dreamy pop melodies stood out among the festival lineup.
Their concert, presented by Karpos Live, will be held at The Filinvest Tent, Alabang.

This show promises a mix of old favorites and songs from their twin 2025 releases, Equus Asinus and Equus Caballus. Tracks like “Show Me How” and “Numb” have long been crowd favorites, and the new material continues the band’s signature flow—warm, measured, and easy to get lost in.
On stage, Men I Trust keeps things understated. Emma Proulx’s soft vocals blend with Jessy Caron and Dragos Chiriac’s guitar and keyboard work to create an immersive sound that feels intimate, even in a larger venue. Their performances focus on letting the music speak, rather than flashy theatrics.
The crowd at Men I Trust shows tends to mirror this energy: attentive, present, and gently moving with the music rather than pushing toward chaos. For anyone catching them for the first time—or returning after Wanderland—the Manila show offers a chance to experience the band’s calm energy and melodic pop in a space that invites listening.
Men I Trust’s return to Manila is a reminder of why they’ve become a quiet favorite in the indie scene, delivering music that is understated, immersive, and undeniably memorable.
