We (photo) is coming to Manila for the first time for its headline tour on Aug. 26, at the Samsung Hall.

The Invitation Tour celebrates Why Don’t We’s latest EP, Invitation, available now on all digital music retailers and streaming devices. The group has also unveiled the much-anticipate­d companion video for its latest hit single,

Trust Fund Baby. The video, shot by MTV VMA winning director Jason Koenig (Ed Sheeran, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis), is streaming now on YouTube, which now boasts over 1.5 million subscriber­s. Written by multiple Grammy Award-winning superstar Sheeran and produced by British hitmaker Steve Mac, Trust Fund Baby immediatel­y shot into the Top 3 on the iTunes Overall Songs Chart upon its release earlier this month, ahead of superstar artists like Drake, Bruno Mars and Camila Cabello, and has press raving with BuzzFeed already calling it “a smash” and Rolling

Stone gushing about “the song’s catchy, booming beat.”

Why Don’t We closed out 2017 on a remarkably high note. In addition to national TV appearance­s on NBC’s

Today and the syndicated daytime show Live with Kelly and Ryan, the young group performed on the entire

iHeartRadi­o Jingle Ball tour, sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in pop music, including Taylor Swift, Sheeran and Cabello at NYC’s Madison Square Garden. The group was named MTV PUSH: Artist To Watch for the month of November, while simultaneo­usly serving as Radio Disney’s NBT (Next Big Thing) featured artist, joining an impressive roster of

NBT alumni including Cabello, Shawn Mendes, Alessia Cara, Fifth Harmony, among others. Likewise, a raft of noteworthy press has been rolling in as of late, including features in Rolling

Stone, People and TIME who enthused that the band’s “…star should only continue to rise in 2018.”

Catch Why Don’t We — Daniel Seavey, Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais and Jack Avery — upclose and personal in Manila at the Samsung Hall. Tickets are on sale May 25 via SMTickets.com or call 470-2222.
