Currently, shows in Washington on May 9, Boston on May 11, Cleveland on May 13 and Detroit on May 14 were all sold out.
The tour follows the release of Mico’s Homesick (Repack) in January 2025, a revamped version of his widely loved track “Homesick” that originally debuted the previous year.
Known for his deeply personal and nostalgic pop-punk anthems such as “Cut My Hair,” “Another Soul” and “Better,” Mico has solidified his place in the music scene with a sound that resonates strongly with today’s generation.

Meanwhile, Mehta brings a fresh, genre-blending style to the mix. Hailing from the Bay Area, Mehta takes pride in her dual Filipino and Indian heritage that weaves cultural influences into her music.
Mico, whose real name is Miguel Veloso, has come a long way from his beginnings on SoundCloud and Discord, where he built a dedicated fan base.
Raised in a Filipino household filled with classic OPM (Original Pilipino Music), he developed a passion for music that ultimately led him to embrace pop punk – drawing inspiration from bands like Marianas Trench and 5 Seconds of Summer.
