Initially announced on Feb. 15, the tour first revealed only the “Randomantic” hitmaker as the featured artist.
It wasn’t until a week later, on Feb. 22, that the addition of “Saan” singer-songwriter to the lineup was officially confirmed, sparking excitement among fans of both artists.
Known for his sultry pop-R&B hits and signature aesthetic, Reid officially shared the news with fans through his Instagram account.
“Canada, it’s happening! Catch me and @clfrnia_maki on tour this July 2025!” he posted, which further generated buzz across social media platforms.

The timing of this tour couldn’t be more fitting for Maki, who’s enjoying a surge in international recognition.
The Filipino singer-songwriter, known for his hit tracks “Dilaw” and “Namumula,” recently made headlines after clinching the No. 50 spot in The Global Choice 100, a curated list of music artists who have “captivated audiences worldwide.”
The tour is a collaboration between YY Entertainment Production, the same group behind Hev Abi’s April tour in Canada, and Toggleswitch, the promotional force that brought Maki and Silent Sanctuary to the US for their tour from June to July.
