The 2024 Asia Pacific Tour will start in Manila, Philippines in August, with a series of shows in the National Capital Region and surrounding areas.
Last year’s APAC tour included a short visit to Japan, with 3 shows in 3 days in Tokyo. An action packed 3 days with the band also filming daytime and late night around the shows to make the music video for the previous single ‘Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way’, shot in 5 countries during the 2023 APAC Tour. The single, along with a live performance video of Filipino band DILAW’s hit song UHAW went on to reach one million (500k each) combined platform views.
This year’s Japan leg of the tour will expand further with 7 shows in Japan from Tokyo to Osaka.
The band are returning to Singapore and are also adding a show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Following the Asia shows, THE AFTER will make their Australian debut with shows in Sydney and Melbourne, before returning to NZ to perform two shows, Auckland and Wellington.
