Fresh from recording another series of the hugely popular Filipino TV show ‘The Voice Kids’, Filipino rock icon Bamboo will take to the road for a series of live shows at several of the most iconic concert venues in the UK and Ireland – including his first ever live concert at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin.
Scheduled for the iconic Dublin venue on October 24, Bamboo’s show will be welcomed by the thousands of Filipinos who have grown up with the man and his music and who now live and work in Ireland.
“I’ve played shows in Ireland before but never anywhere as iconic as the Olympia,” he said. “I’m a huge fan of Irish music, especially U2, so to get the chance to play in the band’s home town is a massive thrill and an honour for me.”
Having the opportunity to provide an authentic link to their homeland in the Philippines is a fact not lost on the hugely-popular 38 year-old singer who has reached a massive global TV audience thanks to his role as coach and mentor on both ‘The Voice of the Philippines’ and ‘The Voice Kids’.
“The support I get when I play abroad is something else so for one night, I’m going to bring those guys back home – that’s a promise,” said the biggest rock star in the Philippines as he continues the promotion of his second solo album ‘Bless This Mess’.
“It’s going to be fun and it’s going to be loud. I’m expecting a lot of energy from the crowd, as well as myself and the band. I also want all of fans to be able to relate to it as my audience covers everyone from the older generation to the young kids who come up and ask for photos or talk to me because of “The Voice Kids”. I want it to be a family affair and would love to see the audience come to the shows with their kids.
“We’ll feature a lot of my new solo songs as well as many of the classics that prove popular every time we go on an international tour.”
A music icon in his homeland for more than 20 years, the singer – who first found fame in the mid-1990s as front-man of ‘Rivermaya’ before going on to lead his own eponymous band ‘Bamboo’ – will also play Edinburgh, Manchester and London.
