The long wait is over! After being postponed because of the pandemic, Rex Orange County is coming to Manila for the very first time! The gifted singer/songwriter known for his quirky brand of bedroom pop that combines jazz, hip-hop, and soul influences will finally get to play live in a sold-out show in Manila this Sunday, October 8 at Araneta Coliseum!

Last year, Rex released his latest album, WHO CARES?, which charted #1 in the UK, #2 in Australia, and #5 in the US. The record includes stand-out songs such as “AMAZING,” “THE SHADE,” “KEEP IT UP,” and “OPEN A WINDOW” featuring Tyler, The Creator, marking the first time the two have collaborated since Tyler’s 2017 album Flower Boy. Complex praised the album in their "Best of 2022 So Far..." list, calling it “sobering, uplifting, fun, and honest all at the same time, making for a great addition to his expanding catalog.” He followed suit with the release of his single “THREAT,” which was heralded by The New York Times as “a tender take on self-doubt.”

The concert is promoted by AEG Presents Asia & Insignia Presents.
