American boy band Why Don’t We is this generation’s boy band. If the 60s had The Beatles, the 90s had N-Sync, The Backstreet Boys, and Westlife, and more recently we had One Direction, Gen Zs need a band to go nuts over. Five boys heeded the call, made a bunch of great music. They are now on their way to making their debut performance in the Philippines.

Their name was their first response upon the suggestion that they form a band, “Why don’t we?” They officially formed on September 27, 2016 and three years later, we look back at their achievements and get to know them. The future is bright for these boys and you wouldn’t want to miss it!

The quintet has conquered so much in such a short amount of time

Aside from the fact that they’ve had radio success over parts of the globe, Why Don’t We has also toured with the likes of The Chainsmokers, Demi Lovato, and even Taylor Swift.  During an interview with PEOPLE, they admitted that meeting Grammy-winner Ed Sheeran was a surreal moment. Avery even says that Sheeran was his inspiration to pick up a guitar. It must have been an amazing thing for Sheeran to pen Why Don’t We’s hit songs, What Am I and Trust Fund Baby.

YouTuber and friend of the band Logan Paul has directed several of Why Don’t We’s music videos and even collaborated with them for a song called Help Me Help You and The Fall of Jake Paul.

 

Nowhere to go but up for this band

Just like Why Don’t We’s blings, their future is bright. Having won the 2019 Teen Choice Award for Choice Music Group and nominated for Best New Artist, there’s nothing in the world they can’t conquer. Their Invitation Tour last 2018 saw a number of shows sold out and their 8 Letters Tour this year will finally land them in Asia.

With the short 2 years, we’ve come to know this band they’ve proved they’re not just a vapor in the world of boy bands. They’re here to stay.

Catch Why Don’t We Live in Manila on November 18, 2019 at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City. The 8 Letters Tour Manila is presented by MMI Live. Get your tickets here.
