Ever since live shows came back, not a single month has passed without an announcement of international artists coming to the country to meet their Filipino fans.
No one is complaining, though. But with all these nonstop event announcements, it can be a bit confusing to track down who’s going to hold their show next. If you specifically want to go to fan meets, then this list is for you.
Here’s a lineup of artists who will host a fan meet in August:
My School President
For the first time ever, the cast of the hit Thailand boy-love (BL) series My School President will be flying to the Philippines for their fan meeting.
The nine cast members — Gemini Norawit Titicharoenrak, Fourth Nattawat Jirochtikul, Winny Thanawin Pholcharoenrat, Satang Kittiphop Sereevichayasawat, Ford Arun Asawasuebsakul, Prom Theepakon Kwanboon, Captain Pheerawit Kollkang, Mark Pakin Kunaanuwit, and Aun Napat Patcharachavalit — are expected to deliver “a night full of music and celebration” with their sing and dance performances.
My School President is a 2022 Thai series that tells the story of student body president Tinn and music club head Gun who got entangled in a romance that started when the former was instructed by their principal to dissolve clubs that don’t boost their school’s reputation.
Topping that list of organizations to be axed, Gun becomes desperate to save his music club, and the only way to do that is to seek help from Tinn.
The price range for the fan meet is from P2,500 to P18,500. Fan benefits include a private photo, group photo, signed poster, hi-touch, official event poster, souvenir card, and event ID with lanyard.
My School President first fan meeting will be held on August 5 at the UP Theater in Diliman, Quezon City.
