Pop-punk superstars Neck Deep Returns to Manila this May 2025

Filipino music fans love international pop-punk anthems and support bands that deliver both in the studio and onstage. Concert promoter PULP Live World has announced the return of Welsh pop-punk band NECK DEEP to the Philippines.

The band is following through on their promise to return. Their past Manila performances, including their first show in 2016 and their 2023 concert at the Skydome in SM North Edsa, both sold out. Fans are looking forward to another live performance.

Led by vocalist Ben Barlow, NECK DEEP also includes guitarists Matt West and Sam Bowden, bassist Seb Barlow, and drummer Matt Powles. Since forming in 2012, they have built a reputation as a touring act. They signed with Hopeless Records in 2014 and released their debut album Wishful Thinking, which marked their transition from a group of friends to a full-fledged band. They won the Kerrang Award for Best British Newcomer and released albums including Life’s Not Out to Get You (2015), The Peace and the Panic (2017), and All Distortions Are Intentional (2020). They have also opened for BLINK-182 and other major acts in the genre.

After the pandemic, NECK DEEP resumed touring. Their 2023 Asia Tour included another sold-out Manila stop. Last year, they released their fifth self-titled album, which reached number two on the UK Independent Albums chart and number three on the UK Rock & Metal Albums chart.
