Canadian alt-pop breakout MICO announces his debut Australian headline tour this
November, bringing one of music’s fastest-rising new artists to local stages in
Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne for the first time.
At just 23 years old, the Filipino-Canadian singer – aka Miguel Veloso – has rapidly
emerged as one of alt-pop’s most compelling new voices, amassing more than 300
million global streams and cultivating a fiercely loyal online fanbase of over 1.8
million followers worldwide thanks to winsome tracks such as new single ‘Like you
mean it’ and April’s hyperpop-steeped banger, ‘DREAMBOY’. Inspired by the
immediacy of late-2000s pop-punk with modern, genre-jumping production, MICO
has built a global audience through deeply personal songwriting, explosive live
performances and an authenticity that has resonated with a generation of fans online
and off.
It’s been a whirlwind 18 months for MICO, earned a 2026 JUNO Award nomination
for ‘Breakthrough Artist or Group of the Year’ after signing with Columbia Records.
Selling out headline tours across North America and Europe, the tour announcement
arrives amid a new creative chapter, MICO also recently named Spotify’s RADAR
Canada Artist of the Month.
Now entering his major-label era, MICO is preparing to unveil his debut album When
the lights turn on (released June 26), a hook-heavy collection that captures the
emotional turbulence of growing up, moving away, relationships, identity and finding
connection in an increasingly online world.
Born and raised in Toronto and the fourth of five siblings, MICO’s father filled the
house with ’80s pop hits by Michael Jackson and The Police, and when guests came
over, the family encouraged the 6-year-old to hop on the karaoke – he didn’t object.
From humble beginnings learning guitar chords playing along to 5 Seconds of
Summer, Fall Out Boy, and The All-American Rejects, as a teenager MICO began
sharing covers on Discord, cultivating a loyal following before pivoting to writing and
self-releasing originals starting with debut track ‘who do you love’ in 2019.
With streaming numbers soaring globally and international demand continuing to
grow, MICO’s first Australian tour marks the arrival of an artist rapidly transitioning
from online phenomenon to genuine global breakout star. Don’t miss him!
