MANILA, Philippines| August 8, 2015 – The Mall of Asia Arena was once again graced by the presence of the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) superstar, Zedd, as he returns for his second tour promoting his most recent album, “True Colors”.
Filipino fans of rave music have always dreamt of watching Russian – German music producer and DJ Anton Zaslavski’s, more popularly known by his DJ name “Zedd”, shows. Last Saturday, 12,000 Filipino ravers flocked to the Mall of Asia Arena to finally get to see and dance along to the beats of the much-awaited and sought-after EDM icon.

By the time Zedd was already preparing to dominate the stage, the Filipino audience was already armed with their multicolored glow sticks for them to wave around as the beat sustains their energy. The set included hits from his first and new album starting off with “Beautiful Now”, a mix of “Stay The Night”, “Clarity”, “Spectrum”, “Break Free” and “Find You” from his previous hits and “Transmission”, “Done With Love”, “Papercut”, and his latest smash hit “I Want You To Know” featuring Selena Gomez. He also included his own mix of Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be”, MAGIC!’s “Rude”, Coldplay’s “Sky Full Of Stars”, Black Eyed Peas’ “Time Of My Life (Dirty Beat)”, and Bastille’s “Pompeii”.
