There’s no denying that some of us still have the lyrics of “Drive” memorized even after all these years. It’s no wonder, because Incubus was one of the few bands that shaped the generation of millennials with their songs from the early 2000s. This year, they will be performing in Manila to promote their latest album “8.”

Some of Incubus’ well-known songs are “Are You In?,” “Nice to Know You,” and “Megalomania.” Tickets are available at Ticketnet outlets and at the Ticketnet website.

Tips for purchasing tickets and preparing for the event

Make ticket reservations early to secure tickets, but make sure that the schedule of the show won’t be in conflict with your own.
Follow the social media accounts of the artists or the event organizer to monitor changes and announcements regarding the show.
Follow the rules and conditions of the venue to avoid any inconveniences.
If the concert venue is unfamiliar to you, make a quick research on how to get there via public transportation. If you own a car, follow directions from Waze and other similar apps.
Because the traffic in Manila is unpredictable and worsening, adjust your travel time by at least an hour in advance as anticipation of the traffic you might encounter on the road.
Go to the toilet before the show to avoid missing any part of it.
