#CulturePH - The Itchyworms bring the "Akin Ka Na Lang" tour to Hong Kong for the first time
The Itchyworms are set to bring their highly successful “Akin Ka Na Lang” tour to Hong Kong on July 26, 2026, at The Wanch in Wan Chai.
The one-night-only show promises to deliver an exciting live music experience for our kababayans seeking a semblance of home through the Filipino band’s brand of timeless OPM hits.
The chart-topping act
behind the hits “Beer,” “Love Team,” and “Di Na Muli” will stage two
performances at the same venue—4:00 PM matinee and an 8:00 PM evening
show—giving overseas Filipinos considerable flexibility to attend, especially
those with work schedules and curfews.
“Hong Kong has always
been part of the Filipino story,” shares Jugs Jugueta. “The fact that
it’s so near, yet only a few OPM bands have played there baffles me. The last
time I was in Hong Kong was in 2019, so I’m so excited to come back and eat
goose with my bandmates.”
The special concert
represents an opportunity to reconnect with the thousands of Filipinos who have
carried Filipino music with them while building lives abroad.
“It’s very humbling
that we are able to tour the world, and anywhere we go, there will be Filipinos
there,” Jugs reveals. “It is also humbling that multiple generations love The
Itchyworms’ songs and continue to sing them everywhere.”
While the band is
entering unfamiliar territory with their first-ever Hong Kong performance, they
are embracing the experience with the same spontaneity and enthusiasm that have
been prevalent in their previous live shows.
Jazz Nicolas explains, “We don’t know what kind of atmosphere to expect. We really
just roll with the punches and give them everything we’ve got.”
Jugs adds that the
Hong Kong stop will be made even more special—thanks to the collaborations with
Filipino musicians based in the city, including Jesper Mercado and Rendel
Frendol, who are expected to join the band on stage.
