When a tour ends on a high, you don’t just remember the music—you remember the energy, the faces in the crowd, and that feeling of being part of something bigger. For SETSUNA, their last stop in the Davao leg of their LOIS PH mall tour wasn’t just another show—it was a night where two worlds collided: the new wave of heavy music and the enduring legacy of one of the Philippines’ most iconic metal acts, Slapshock.

LOIS PH: Carrying a Legacy Forward

LOIS PH isn’t just a brand—it’s a name with deep roots in the local scene. Managed by the same team that put Dickies on the map in the Philippines, they’ve always understood that streetwear and music move together. Back when Dickies was just starting here, they made a bold move: choosing Slapshock—a young, hungry band at the time—as their first artist partner. That decision paid off, shaping not just the brand’s street cred but cementing its presence in the culture.

Fast-forward to today, LOIS PH is building on that same formula: backing artists who embody raw energy, authenticity, and connection with the crowd. Which is why SETSUNA, with their relentless grind and growing following, was a natural fit for the brand’s mall tour.

Bringing Lean Ansing into the Fold

For the Davao finale, LOIS PH took things up another notch. They brought in Lean Ansing, Slapshock’s guitarist, to join SETSUNA on stage. The move wasn’t just about star power—it was about impact. SETSUNA had prepared Slapshock covers for the setlist, and having Lean there turned those moments into something electric.

“Kaya sinama ni LOIS si Lean Ansing para yung impact ng Slapshock cover ng SETSUNA is mas ramdam,” the band shares. And it worked—Slap Armies and Dragon fans stood side by side, feeding off each other’s energy all night.

The Setlist: Heavy, Tight, and Unforgettable

The night kicked off with the band’s own material, a statement that they could hold the stage on their own terms:

1. Hardin – Opening with precision and grit, the song set the mood: this wasn’t going to be a casual mall show; this was going to hit hard.
   
   
2. Ahon – A rallying cry that got heads nodding and fists up.
   
   
3. Harinawa – Melodic but charged, a breather before the storm.
   
   
4. Dalangin – The crowd sang back, proving that SETSUNA’s originals are sticking with fans.
   
   

Then came the moment the Slap Armies had been waiting for:

5. Wake-up (Slapshock cover) – With Lean Ansing’s guitar cutting through the mix, this one hit like a wave. The crowd’s roar was instant.
   
   
6. Agent Orange (Slapshock cover) – The energy doubled, with old-school fans reliving the chaos and new ones discovering why Slapshock’s songs still destroy live.
   
   

From there, SETSUNA went into one of their most important new releases:

7. Magliyab – Their collaboration with Lean Ansing. It wasn’t just played—it was unleashed. A fresh anthem that proved the old guard and the new wave can create something massive together.
   
   

Closing the night:

8. Silaw – Even as the last song, Lean stayed on stage, jamming with the band until the final note. The synergy was real—smiles, sweat, and noise.
   
   

Beyond the Stage

The energy didn’t end when the amps shut off. Fans lined up at the LOIS PH store for signings, photos, and quick conversations with the band. For some, it was more than just a meet-and-greet—it was the culmination of a personal tour. “Meron din mga fans na pinuntahan lahat ng mall tour namin,” the band notes. That kind of loyalty isn’t built overnight; it’s earned, one show at a time.

Why LOIS PH and SETSUNA Work Together

In many ways, the SETSUNA x LOIS PH partnership mirrors the early days of Dickies and Slapshock. It’s about recognizing potential, supporting the grind, and connecting with audiences in their own spaces. LOIS PH understands that the mall tour format isn’t just about selling clothes—it’s about building scenes in cities across the country, making live music accessible to fans who might not always get to see their favorite bands up close.

For SETSUNA, it’s a chance to push their music further, to bring their sound to both hardcore fans and casual mall-goers who might just discover them by walking past the stage. And with each show, the line between fan and friend gets thinner.

Looking Ahead: Manila Shows Incoming

The Davao finale might be over, but the momentum isn’t slowing down. “Mall shows in Manila soon,” the band teases. If the Davao crowd is any indication, Manila’s in for something special—especially with the kind of energy that comes when SETSUNA and LOIS PH join forces.

With Magliyab now part of their arsenal and Lean Ansing’s stamp of approval, SETSUNA steps into the next chapter with more fire than ever. And just like that first Dickies x Slapshock collab years ago, this feels like one of those moments people will look back on and say, “That’s when things leveled up.”
