#CulturePH - From TikTok to Takeover: How HEY JUNE! Is Turning Curiosity Into Connection on Their First Album Tour
Some bands just have a way of making you feel like you’re part of their story. HEY JUNE! is one of those rare finds. After their single “LASIK” took over TikTok and shot up the Spotify Philippines Top 50 Viral chart, it’s safe to say the band’s music has become the soundtrack to a lot of people’s lives—mine included.
Now, HEY JUNE! is taking things to the next level with their first-ever headlining concert series, “Curiosity Killed The Cat: The Album Experience Tour.” And honestly, it’s not just a tour—it’s a celebration of the friendships, late-night jam sessions, and little moments that brought their debut album to life.
What makes this tour extra special is the choice of venues. Each spot is a chapter in the band’s journey. Velvet Playground in Marikina isn’t just a gig location—it’s where the band first met and started recording during lockdowns. Jess & Pats in Maginhawa is set for an intimate acoustic night, perfect for fans who want to hear the album stripped down and up close. Takeover Lounge in Katipunan promises a night full of energy, friendship, and the kind of music that makes you want to stay out just a little longer. And then there’s Mow’s in Diliman, a legendary underground spot where the band will close out the tour surrounded by the city’s most passionate music lovers.
But HEY JUNE! isn’t doing this alone. They’re bringing along a lineup of friends, mentors, and fellow artists who’ve been part of their story from the very beginning—think Sandwich, Moonstar88, Dilaw, Gracenote, 6cyclemind, and more. It’s less of a concert series and more of a family reunion, with music as the glue.
Fans can expect to hear the full track list from “Curiosity Killed the Cat”—a rare treat before the band heads into a new era with their next album. And if you’ve ever wanted to be part of a music community that feels like home, this is your chance. The band’s message is simple: come for the music, stay for the memories, and leave with new friends and stories to tell.
So whether you’ve been streaming “LASIK” on repeat or you’re just discovering HEY JUNE! for the first time, this tour is your invitation to join the family. Who knows? You might just find your new favorite song—or your next favorite people—along the way.
