You promised you’d be back, sooner this time, and we held onto that promise tight. Because the moment you said it, we were already counting down the days until the next one. Because a STATE CHAMPS show is the kind of night you want to relive again and again. 💙🤘 So here’s to louder nights, lost voices, and hearts held together by your music. We love you forever. @State_Champs, you crushed it! Come back soon, yeah? 🔥 #STATECHAMPSinMANILA Photos by Joel H. Garcia @dereksteez @RyanScottGraham @tyszal

Eight years. That’s how long we waited for you to come back to Manila. And once the show started, it didn’t even feel like a wait; it felt like a homecoming. Sounds super cliché, we know, but it’s true: YOU WERE SO WORTH THE WAIT! 💯 Even now, our ears are still buzzing, our hearts are still full. It’s like we left our voices (and sanity) in that venue. You gave us a night to remember, a night to feel everything; to scream, jump, laugh, cry, and be those teens again who believed music could save them. 🫂 You guys are the coolest, kindest, raddest dudes. It didn’t feel like a band meeting fans, it felt like long-lost friends reuniting and throwing the best party ever! 🎉

THANK YOU, @State_Champs! We were just a bunch of high school kids back then—messy headphones, blasting your songs like our lives depended on it. And maybe they kinda did. 😉 You were the band we turned to when nothing made sense, the anthems we screamed into the night. And now here we are… same songs, same hearts, but this time we’re singing them with you, live and loud! 🙌🔊
