Previously, the Chilean-Norwegian indie-pop artist was also announced to perform in Singapore later this year as part of Esplanade’s Mosaic Music Series. His performance will take place on November 30 at the Esplanade Theatre. Other artists scheduled to play the series include Phum Viphurit, Say Sue Me, Japanese ambient artist Meitei, and Sobs.

These performances join dates of Boy Pablo’s wider 2022 Asia tour, which also includes stops in the Philippines and Indonesia. He was also confirmed as a headliner for Thailand’s Very Festival in November, alongside a line-up including Keshi, ADOY and pH-1.

Meanwhile, No Good is also currently amidst a tour supporting their 2020 record, ‘Punk Gong’. As part of the nine-date trek, the Kelantanese punk band will also play Atas Angin Festival later next month, as well as a date in Singapore on 14 August.
