The Itchyworms stages 'Akin Ka Na Lang Taiwan' part 2 tour

MANILA, Philippines, March 24 ------ The Itchyworms will return to Taiwan in April for a three-city tour following their first shows there last year. The shows, billed as "Akin Ka Na Lang Taiwan Part 2," follow their 2024 debut, where they performed for a mix of Filipino and Taiwanese audiences.

Frontman Jugs Jugueta said the band aims to reconnect with Filipinos living abroad during the tour. "We constantly try to get to know the Filipinos in Taiwan," Jugueta said. Filipinos are really so friendly, so we will just talk about life in Taiwan and the struggles of not seeing your family very often. We will bring them back to the Philippines through our music!"

He said the group also sees the tour as an opportunity to introduce Filipino music to a wider audience. "It feels great that not only are we sharing The Itchyworms' music, but we are also sharing OPM and Filipino music with the world," Jugueta said.

The band is set to perform in Kaohsiung on April 3, Taichung on April 4 and Taipei on April 5.
