Iconic dream pop band Sugar Hiccup to headline 4-city tour in the Philippines and Singapore next month

Pioneering Filipino dream-pop outfit Sugar Hiccup will embark on a Philippine tour next month to commemorate more than 30 years as a band.

The award-winning indie quartet has announced their four-show run with stops in Manila, Singapore, Baguio, and Cebu.

The Manila leg, which is produced by GNN Entertainment Productions and The Flying Lugaw, will feature long sets by the four-piece band, and will be supported by guest acts such as Aunt Robert, The Purest Blue, Taken By Cars, and Barbie Almalbis. The tour also partnered with Not Very Noise and John Bottles Events to bring Sugar Hiccup to Baguio and Cebu, respectively. 

Fans of Sugar Hiccup are in for a treat as the current lineup, composed of Melody del Mundo (vocals, lead guitars), Czandro Pollack (rhythm guitars), Iman Leonardo (bass), and Mervin Panganiban (drums), will be performing some of the cult favorites from their hit albums, Oracle and Womb, as well as some rarities and new recordings.

Tickets to Sugar Hiccup 30: Reunion Tour will be available on September 19, 2024. Check out the tour schedule:

Sugar Hiccup is one of the most iconic bands of the ‘90s alternative rock boom. Their ethereal sound, driven by shoegaze influences, dynamic drums, and high-pitched vocal stylings, opened the doors for female-fronted indie artists to embrace non-conventional forms of pop/rock music and deep-dive into the dreamier end of songwriting and production. 

Their debut album, Oracle sold more than 20,000 copies and won the Best Alternative Recording at the Awit Awards (the Philippines' version of the Grammys), while its banner single “Five Years” earned two KATHA awards for Best Alternative Song and Best Alternative Performance by the songwriters' organization KATHA. In 1998, the band released their sophomore album, Womb to critical acclaim.
