The visit breaks the alternative indie group’s hiatus from the country, with their last appearance coming in November 2022 in front of a sold-out Samsung Hall set.

Fall into serenity once more with Laufey’s jazz-driven demeanor, organizing her second headlining show, now supported by a full-fledged Manila Philharmonic Orchestra and a back-to-back performance.

Date: May 30, 2024
Venue: The Filinvest Tent, Alabang, Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila

The “Nothing Burns Like The Cold” and “Whoa” hitmaker’s blissful vocals and soothing compositions will have the audience lost in those feels (again), as Karpos Live’s next headliner of its concert series.
