Kamikazee to hold final concert in December

MANILA, Philippines – Rock group Kamikazee will hold their final concert on December 10 at the SMART Araneta Coliseum to culminate 15 colorful years in the industry. 

According to a press release, Kerwin Rosete, the group’s manager, said the members want to take time off to concentrate on other matters and their families. It was announced this year that the 5-member group would take an indefinite leave from the music scene. 

“A few months ago, we said we would take a long break at the end of the year and nothing has changed,” Kewin said. 

“The band are all still incredibly close to each other but after years of recording and playing live, the time is now right for them to step away from the stage and enjoy other aspects of their lives. And there’s no better way to finish than with a concert alongside many of their best friends, in one of Manila’s greatest arenas and in front of thousands of the best fans in the world.”

Kamikazee  is composed of Jay Contreras, Jomal Linao, Led Tuyay, Jason Astete and Allan Burdeos. The group is known for songs such as “Halik,” “Unang Tikim,” and “Huling Sayaw.” They have released 4 albums: Kamikazee (2002), Maharot (2006), Long Time Noisy (2009), and Romantico (2012).

In the same press release, Kerwin said that the group will work with Spicy Lemon, the people behind the concert to produce a concert the fans will enjoy as the group’s way of giving back for the support. 

“As the guys have no plans to play again in the future, the concert on December 10 will be the perfect send-off and a fitting final show for both the band and all their fans,” Kerwin said.

Ticket prices are as follows:  P4,750 (Patron Seated), P1,950 (Patron Standing), P2,500 (Box), P1,950 (Upper Box) and P 650 (General Admission). Log on to ticketnet.com.ph for other details.
