“Twelve, twelve, twelve, twelve in the morning” is the time you’re expected to wake up excited one day in December. Indonesian rap sensation Rich Brian is bringing his signature blend of sharp lyricism and genre-bending beats to Manila this December 2025, marking his first solo performance in the Philippines.
The concert is part of his “Where Is My Head?” Asia tour, which includes stops in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taipei.
Under the same title of his latest album released last week, the first of his after six years, the Manila leg is scheduled for December 8, at the New Frontier Theater, a venue known for hosting top-tier international acts. Fans can expect a high-energy setlist that spans Rich Brian’s evolution, from viral breakout tracks like Dat $tick to more introspective cuts from his 2023 EP Brightside, and of course, the new album.
The show promises an immersive experience that showcases Rich Brian’s growth as both a performer and a producer. His recent releases have leaned into more melodic territory, blending hip-hop with R&B and pop influences, while still maintaining the lyrical edge that first catapulted him to fame. Timezones, for example, is one track in his album that came from his personal perspectives and memories along the years.
Rich Brian, born Brian Imanuel, first gained global attention in 2016 and quickly became one of the leading voices in Asian hip-hop. As part of the 88rising collective, he’s collaborated with artists like Joji, NIKI, and Jackson Wang, and performed at major festivals including Coachella and Head in the Clouds.
His Manila stop is expected to draw a diverse crowd, from longtime fans who’ve followed his journey since his viral debut, to newer listeners discovering his more recent, genre-fluid sound. With a reputation for dynamic live performances and a growing catalog of hits, Rich Brian’s upcoming show is poised to be one of the most anticipated music events of the season.
Presale tickets will be available via Live Nation on August 25 while general admissions will start on Aug 26 via Ticketnet and other platforms.
