IT’S BEEN 40 years since The Dawn started making music, and they’re still active and ready to showcase their evolution as a band by returning to the concert stage.
A pillar of the local music scene, representing Filipino rock since the 1980s, they will be playing their hits that continue to resonate like “Enveloped Ideas,” “Salamat,” and “Iisang Bangka.”
Through Kwarenta, their 40th anniversary concert, they aim to celebrate their journey and the fans who have supported them. With the current lineup of vocalist Jett Pangan, drummer JB Leonor, guitarists Rommel Sanchez and Francis Reyes, and bassist Bim Yance, The Dawn will take the stage at The Theatre at Solaire in Parañaque on June 27.
“Individually, we feel older. Collectively as a band, we feel very thankful and very grateful to have reached this part in our career. Every day that we’re together, there’s this air of gratitude,” said Mr. Pangan in an interview with BusinessWorld on June 11.
