Alanis Morissette Moves Manila Tour Dates to 2021
Alanis Morissette has announced the new schedule for her Manila concert. Now, the show will be happening on December 7 and 8, 2021 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.
The “Hand in My Pocket” singer was originally scheduled to perform in Manila on April 6 and 7, but postponed the shows due to the coronavirus pandemic. She last performed in Manila in 1996.
Her 2020 tour was meant to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her iconic album, Jagged Little Pill, which was released in 1995. The album was the Canadian-American singer’s first record to be released worldwide, and carries hits such as “Head over Feet,” “Ironic,” and “You Oughta Know.”
The album won 5 Grammy awards including the top honor, Album of the Year. It also inspired a Broadway musical, which opened in New York in December.
Her Manila show will feature Filipino jazz-fusion band Up Dharma Down.
Local producers Ovation Productions said that tickets bought for the original show will be honored, but those who want to claim a refund can contact ticket provider SM Tickets by September 30.
Morissette has also previously pushed back her New Zealand tour until next year.
“Due to ongoing travel restrictions and border closures in Australia and New Zealand, and the continued limitations around mass gatherings in Australia, the Alanis Morissette 2020 World Tour – Celebrating 25 Years of Jagged Little Pill originally rescheduled to November 2020, will now be rescheduled to November 2021”
The seven-time Grammy award-winning artist has released her ninth studio album called Such Pretty Forks in the Road last month. This is her new material since 2012 following Havoc and Bright Lights.
The album was preceded by the singles “Reasons I Drink” and “Smiling”, the latter being a new song written for the Jagged Little Pill stage musical. The album debuted at number 16 on the US Billboard 200 and number one on the US Top Rock Albums charts, earning 23,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.
