Alt-rock singer-songwriter Zack Tabudlo is joining the lineup for Road to FAM, the multi-city music showcase from 88rising and Levi’s that spotlights artists from across Southeast Asia. Joining Tabudlo in the city showcase will be rapper Fariz Jabba from Singapore, pioneering hip-hop artist ZAMAREA from Malaysia, RAMENGVRL from Indonesia and Thai rap sensation MILLI. The touring series will lead up to the Future Asian Music (FAM) Festival, set to take place in Bangkok, Thailand, marking 88rising’s inaugural full-scale event celebrating the next wave of Asian music.
FAM Bangkok will feature several emerging artists and bands performing across the city, positioning itself as a launchpad for rising talent in the region. For Tabudlo, this isn’t his first run with 88rising. The media and music brand, which has built its name by promoting Asian-centric music at a global scale, has a history of tapping Filipino acts ever since the post-pandemic.
In 2022, the Head in the Clouds Manila festival took over SM Festival Grounds in Parañaque City, with international headliners Joji, Jackson Wang, NIKI, and Rich Brian performing alongside local names like Tabudlo, Ylona Garcia, and Manila Grey. Last February, Tabudlo signed to American major label Mercury Records and released his comeback single “Diving” on the same day of his announcement — his first release since August 2024.
Before heading to Bangkok, Tabudlo will headline the Manila stop alongside opening DJ sets by Hideki Ito and t33g33 of the Road to FAM tour with a free show on May 14 at Apotheka, Doña Carmen Street, Barangay Poblacion, Makati City. Entry is free with RSVP via Levi’s official link.
More details on details and dates for FAM Bangkok is expected to be announced in May.
