ANNOUNCEMENT:
Boy George and The Culture Club Manila Concert Update
Due to logistical travel issues beyond
their control, the recently announced two-night concert in Manila of 80's
supergroup Culture Club will now be forced to limit their visit to a "one
night only" special event. Boy George and Culture Club will be performing
for the first time in Manila on June 18, Saturday, at the Araneta Coliseum.
For those who've purchased tickets to
the June 17 (Friday) show, they can refund their tickets or replace them with
tickets for June 18.
As promised, Boy George and the
original lineup of Culture Club will give their audience a night of
unforgettable music and partying. The group will be performing all their hits
like Karma Chameleon, War Is Stupid Do
You Really Want To Hurt Me, Miss Me Blind, Move Away, Love is Love, and a lot
more.
Culture Club's show in the Philippines
is part of a 40-city tour of the iconic group in over twelve years, which
includes cities in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, Australia and Japan.
Since this is the first time that Boy
George and Culture Club (with members Mikey Craig on bass guitar, Roy Hay on
guitar and keyboards, and Jon Moss on drums and percussion) will be performing
in the Philippines, those who grew up in the eighties as well as music lovers
are excited for this news and can’t wait to see them
perform their greatest hits. "This is one big party," says George
about the concert.
As the first multi-racial band with an
openly gay front man, Culture Club has set many records, including being the
first band since The Beatles to have three Top Ten hits in America from a debut
album. In the eighties, the band dominated the charts in over a dozen
countries, with multi-platinum albums and more than 50 million albums sold
worldwide to date. In 2014, Culture Club reunited to create new music and has
been in the studio putting the finishing touches on their new album Tribes, available now for pre-order, set
to release later this year. The band recently headlined iHeart Radio’s 2016 "iHeart
80s Party" at The Forum in L.A. to a packed crowd.
To make things more exciting for the
Manila leg concert, one hundred pieces of special VIP tickets worth P25,000
each will be on sale. Aside from enjoying the concert, ticket buyers get a
privilege to attend a 'meet and greet' event and have their photo taken with
Culture Club on June 16, 3PM at Novotel Manila, Araneta Center. They will also
receive a double disc of Culture Club's greatest hits album and a commemorative
concert T-shirt. Tickets for the 'meet and greet' event will be available (cash
basis payment) on June 10 (Friday), 7pm to 11pm, at Greenfield District's
Kaleidoscope event area which will have a special Boy George and Culture Club night
and sing-and-look alike contest.
