Tyler, The Creator Announces Chromakopia Asia Tour With First-Ever Manila & Bangkok Shows

Following his week-long residency at Los Angeles’s Crypto Arena, Tyler, The Creator has announced that his world tour will make four stops in major Asian cities.

First, Tyler will perform at Tokyo, Japan’s Ariake Arena on September 9, then he will appear at Kintex Hall in Seoul, South Korea on September 13. The rapper then plans a pivot to the Southeast Asian region, where he will make debut performances in Thailand and the Philippines. On September 16, Tyler will perform at Impact Arena in Bangkok, will finish his Asian leg at Manila’s Araneta Coliseum.

While Tokyo and Seoul are well-known for their massive populations, the two East Asian capitals will host smaller shows with Kintex Hall 10 containing 4,000 seats and Ariake Arena haveing 12,000. In Bangkok, the Impact Arena boasts a capacity of 15,000 and in Manila, the Araneta Coliseum can hold up to 16,500 audience members — making Manila the biggest show in the Asian leg of the tour.

The addition of Southeast asian mega-cities of Bangkok and Manila speak to the growing cultural presence of historically peripheral Southeast Asian countries. But it’s not just global stars announcing shows in the region — luxury brands are also establishing a greater presence. For example, in 2024 Dior launched its sprawling Gold House retail concept in Bangkok and A.P.C. opening its first Manila outpost in 2023.

For Seoul, Bangkok and Manila ticket sales begin on March 5 at 12pm local, and for Tokyo, ticket sales begin on March 20 at 6pm JST. Visit the official Chromakopia Tour site for the most up-to-date information
