Get ready to experience the rhythm and spirit of the islands! Elias J TV, one of the most beloved reggae artists in the Philippines, is launching his first-ever U.S. Tour in September 2025.
Renowned for his powerful stage presence, heartfelt lyrics, and deep connection with his audience, Elias J TV is not just a performer; he represents a movement.
Elias J TV rose to fame through social media, starting his musical journey with humble beginnings by recording covers and original songs in local corners of Cebu. His breakthrough came when his reggae rendition of “Boliviaz Riddim” went viral, accumulating over 5 million views on YouTube and reaching fans across the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Since then, he has become a prominent figure in the Filipino music scene, admired not only for his talent but also for his sincerity and spiritual energy.
Elias J's collaboration with the Kalumad Band has significantly enhanced the impact of his music, resulting in soulful reggae anthems that convey messages of love, healing, hope, and cultural pride. Whether performing for a crowd of thousands or an intimate group of fans, Elias J has a unique ability to make each listener feel seen, heard, and uplifted.
Elias J TV is not just a musician; he is also a storyteller, a healer, and a voice for the everyday Filipino. His songs resonate with those who have faced hardship, who are far from home, and who seek peace in a fast-paced world. Fans often share how his music has helped them through tough times, such as depression, heartbreak, or loneliness, particularly overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who find comfort and strength in his island-inspired sound.
For the first time, he is bringing that same energy to audiences across the United States. The tour will start in Hawai‘i, with stops in Waikoloa and Maui, before moving to the mainland for concerts in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Redwood City, San Diego, and Houston.
Each concert is more than just music; it’s a celebration of life, unity, and shared spirit. With his signature reggae beats, uplifting messages, and natural charisma, Elias J TV invites his audiences to not just listen, but to truly feel.
“This tour is not just about performing. It’s about touching lives, celebrating our culture, and bringing people together through the power of music,” Elias J shared. “Every stage I step on, I carry the stories of my people with me.”
With a growing international fan base, Elias J TV's U.S. Tour promises to be one of the most memorable cultural events of the year for Filipino communities abroad and reggae enthusiasts alike.
Tickets and full tour details will be released soon through Elias J TV’s official pages on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned and secure their seats early—this will be a journey of rhythm, soul, and healing you won’t want to miss.
