Australia’s own multi-platinum chart-topping global superstar The Kid LAROI has announced a highly anticipated debut show in Manila on Nov. 5, 2024, at The New Frontier Theater. Armed with his debut studio album, The First Time, and having just dropped the hit new single "Girls," LAROI’s forthcoming tour will give his Filipino fans the chance to witness his dynamic stage presence live.

This will be The Kid LAROI’s debut show in Manila, part of LAROI's broader 2024 Australia, New Zealand, and Asia tour. The Manila concert promises to be a highlight, with fans eager to see LAROI perform his iconic hits such as the 2021 ARIA Award-winning collaboration with Justin Bieber, "Stay" and the billion-streamed anthem, "Without You."

Tickets to The First Time show will go on sale to the general public on Friday, Aug. 30, 2024, at 10 AM local time at www.ticketnet.com.ph with an exclusive 24-hour presale live on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024, at 10 AM local time. Fans must download and sign up on the TOP.PH app to access the local presale.

Expanding on the first-ever headline tour in 2022, which saw LAROI add multiple extra arena shows due to overwhelming demand, this 2024 tour will also showcase LAROI’s most personal and musically complex statement to date in the form of his brand new album, The First Time.

The album, which boasts 20 new songs, features LAROI’s trademark blend of hip-hop, pop, alternative, and indie flavors, further solidifying his place as one of the most dynamic artists of his generation.

A maiden full-length album from The Kid LAROI, aka Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, The First Time follows the rapper’s debut 2020 mixtape Fck Love*. LAROI has rebranded his sound into a style befitting his international celebrity status while also serving up one of the year's most anticipated albums. The album features guest appearances from Jungkook, Central Cee, Baby Drill, Future, Robert Glasper, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and D4vd, showcasing LAROI’s unwavering creativity and ability to collaborate with some of the biggest names in music.

The First Time album has amassed over 1.2 billion streams globally and debuted at #3 on the ARIA Album chart (#1 ARIA Australian Album), #7 in New Zealand, Top 20 in Canada/Denmark, and top 30 in the US and UK. Its singles, "Too Much" and "Love Again," both hit the top 10 ARIA singles chart and became radio mainstays. Both singles also cracked the Triple J Hottest 100, as did the fan-favorite single, "Bleed," (which LAROI says is his favorite song he has ever written). "Nights Like This" went viral on TikTok earlier this year, with streams surpassing 100 million. "Love Again" also saw LAROI nominated for two APRA Awards and two ARIA Awards, including ‘Best Solo Artist’ and ‘Song of the Year.’ LAROI was the #2 Most Streamed Australian Artist for 2023 on Spotify, and earlier this year, he unveiled his documentary Kids Are Growing Up.

In a short time, LAROI has taken the world by storm, with two nominations in 2022 at the Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and his work on Justin Bieber’s Justice. He has also secured multiple wins and nominations at the ARIA Music Awards, Billboard Awards, and a National Indigenous Music Award. With over 43 million monthly listeners on Spotify, more than 2 billion views on YouTube, and a recent 31-date North American run alongside Lil Baby, LAROI’s effortless talent and raw charisma are undeniable. This Manila show is set to be an unforgettable night as LAROI continues to captivate audiences worldwide with his commanding performances.
