MICO

About

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.
