Just a thought: Music tourism for our economy

By now, majority of Death Cab for Cutie fans in Manila have secured their tickets for the band's Singapore run in August. They, of course, have already booked flight tickets, hotels, and are pooling the pocket money to spend on chicken rice and pepper crab.

Filipinos love music and I would argue that the audience is getting more sophisticated than previously imagined. Credit our local musicians for that: the OPM scene is dynamic and intelligent and more importantly, is creating a gig-going culture.
