The Itchyworms are set to bring their highly successful “Akin Ka Na Lang” tour to Hong Kong on July 26, 2026, at The Wanch in Wan Chai.
The one-night-only show promises to deliver an exciting live music experience for our kababayans seeking a semblance of home through the Filipino band’s brand of timeless OPM hits.
After the massive success of their 2024 Taiwan debut, The Itchyworms are gearing up for a highly anticipated return this April 2026.
The pop-rock hitmakers are heading to the land of vibrant night markets for Akin Ka Na Lang TAIWAN Part 2—a three-city tour that will once again bring their signature wit, warmth, and crowd-rousing sing-alongs to Taiwan’s eclectic live scene, proving that great music knows no borders.
The iconic band’s previous tour struck a chord with diverse audiences in Taiwan, reinforcing what Jugs Jugueta puts simply: “Music is a universal language.”
Multi-awarded Filipino pop-rock outfit The Itchyworms are set to bring their widely celebrated “Akin Ka Na Lang” tour to Dubai and Abu Dhabi this January 2026. Marking their highly anticipated return to the Middle East after more than a decade, the Love Team act will be performing some of their greatest hits and rarities at the Pakistan Auditorium in Dubai and at New Bar, Arkadia in Abu Dhabi on January 17 and 18, respectively.

The show marks their debut performance in Nagoya, the fourth most populous city in Japan. The Itchyworms, long admired for their anthemic hits and infectious performances, have previous taken the stage in Tokyo and Saitama in early 2025, and a standout stint at Tokyo Beyond Festival in 2022 and Kansai Music Festival in 2023.
“This will be our first time to travel to Nagoya (as tourists, and as performers),” says Jugs Jugueta, the lead vocalist and guitarist of The Itchyworms. “We heard that there is a huge Filipino community in Nagoya. We are so excited to play for them and to meet them all! We love Japan so much.”
Following the success of their 2023 tour, the band will perform three shows from January 17 to 19, 2025, on iconic venues across Tokyo, including Mr. Back in Saitama, Heaven’s Door in Sangenjaya, and Gamuso in Asagaya.
“We’ve been fortunate to build a loyal fanbase in Japan over the years,” says Jugs Jugueta, lead vocalist of The Itchyworms. “It’s truly humbling to see fans traveling hours from all over Japan just to watch us perform. What makes the Japanese audience so special is their deep appreciation not only for our hits but also for the more obscure tracks. To them, it’s all good music.”
