The iconic '90s rock band Michael Learns To Rock, or simply MLTR, is all agog to perform again in Manila.
The Danish trio—composed of singer/keyboardist Jascha Richter, drummer Kare Wanscher, and guitarist Mikkel Lentz—is scheduled to return to the Philippines later this month for their Back On The Road Tour 2022.
In an interview with MJ Felipe for TV Patrol, the group said they were particularly excited about the Philippines leg of their concert tour.
On behalf of the group, Kare said, "I can't remember a tour that we have been... anticipating so much as this one.
"We are really looking forward to it. It's hard to describe."
Kare told MJ, "We also expect [fans] to come along and sing with us and we will force them to sing if they don't."
The group is also delighted that the country's Diamond Soul Siren Nina is their special guest for their three-night concert.
In an interview with PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) via Zoom, Nina expressed her gratitude for being tapped to be part of the concert.
She said, "A lot of local artists want to be a part of an international act, so kung ano man yung feeling nila—feeling excited, feeling thankful, and feeling fulfilling, lahat na siguro, and feeling honored—ayun na yung napi-feel ko.
"Sobrang nagpapasalamat ako to be part of such a concert of a legendary band which is Michael Learns to Rock.
"Sobrang nakakatuwa, iba talaga yung feeling, lahat na nararamdaman ko."
The last time MLTR visited the Philippines was in December 2019, for a concert which was held at The Theatre at Solaire Resort in Parañaque City.
MLRT is best known for their nostalgic hits such as "Paint My Love," "25 Minutes," "Nothing to Lose," "Take Me to Your Heart," and "That's Why (You Go Away)," among many others.
Organized by Wilbros Live, MLRT will be performing for their Filipino fans this October 26, 2022, at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.
