Live concerts on TikTok stage

“We’re grateful for all the artists and entertainers who use TikTok to connect with their fans, and can’t wait until we can see them live on stage again. Till then, we’re committed to connecting our community and fans with these massively talented acts from home — all while doing our part to aid COVID-19 relief efforts,” said John Castro, User and Content Operations Manager, TikTok Philippines, in a press statement.

The short-form video platform TikTok is one of the world’s most popular apps. It has also become a thriving online community for Filipino viewers and content creators.

The free K-pop concerts will go live on the TikTok Stage in-app channel, featuring purely live performances and no pre-recordings.

These massively talented groups have risen quickly to popularity in the Philippines. They also believe in engaging with fans and helping raise funds through their music.

Local viewers and fans will also get to interact with the performers live. They will be asked to participate in fundraising via fun TikTok in-app challenges.
