Two months since performing for his Filipino fans at the Venice Grand Canal for Valentine’s Day, Ruel is back in the city for his anticipated world tour show! Fans were buzzing to sing their hearts out with Ruel. Before the artist took the stage, breakthrough talent Young Cocoa (who you may also know from our IndieGround playlist in 2020!) opened for Ruel’s 4th Wall show. The youngin’ rapper performed his tracks ‘Zesto’, ‘Seasons’, ‘Kafka’, the hit song ‘Manila’ and an unreleased track coming out soon.

Soon after Young Cocoa’s treat of a performance, Ruel kicked off the show with ‘GO ON WITHOUT ME’, ‘GROWING UP IS ___’ and ‘YOU AGAINST YOURSELF’ all from his recent album, 4TH WALL. 

‘Dazed and Confused’ and ‘Face To Face’ followed after, which hyped the crowd and sang along. Ruel then slowed it down for his Manila-inspired song ‘SITTING IN TRAFFIC’, and surprised the fans as singer KZ Tandingan joined Ruel for a duet! The melancholic vibe still lingered as Ruel did a piano cover of the classic One Direction song, ‘Night Changes’ and from his 4TH WALL album again, ‘WISH I HAD YOU’.

The night went on an absolute high! Tracks, where Ruel was also featured, made their way to his setlist, like ‘golden hour’ with JVKE and ‘Flames’ with SG Lewis. More from his 4TH WALL album were sung that night; his popular songs ‘Free Time’, ‘Flames’ and ‘Painkiller’ made the crowd jam with him. The show closed off with ‘I DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU’ along with a fan project. 

Ruel has done it again, giving off an amazing and lively show for his dedicated Filipino fans! Thanks to Wilbros Live for making the 4th Wall World Tour in Manila possible!
