Their name\, inspire d by the silica gel in a gum container\, reflects the band’s spontaneous and adventurous approach to music-making—cheekily referred to by the ba nd as “team-play rather than teamwork”.\n\nThe band spent their early years in South Korea’s independent scene\, fully dedicated to their musi c and quietly making waves with their self-titled debut album in 2016—th e same year they won three rookie awards at the Korean Music Awards. After an extended hiatus where the band completed their mandatory military serv ice\, Silica Gel returned in full force with two singles\, Desert Eagle in 2021 and No Pain in 2022. While retaining the complexity of their earlier compositions\, these singles featured soaring vocals\, irresistibly catch y guitar hooks and earworm melodies that fueled the band’s upward trajec tory. In 2023\, they continued their streak with Tik Tak Tok \, winning Be st Modern Rock Song for the third consecutive year at the Korean Music Awa rds\, as well as achieving the prestigious Musician of the Year award.\n\n Deeply dedicated to their craft\, the band continues to evolve their music al identity and push the boundaries of their sonic palette. On the heels o f the release of their third full-length album in Aug 2026\, Ballad of You \, and nearly a year since their show at Esplanade in Oct 2025\, the band will make their way back to Esplanade to greet fans in Singapore once aga in.\n\nBoletos: https://www.esplanade.com/whats-on/festivals-and-series/mo saic-music-series/2026/silica-gel-asia-tour-synthesize-ballad-of-you URL;VALUE=URI:https://360exp.net/events/a0e885cd-9c3d-4b79-9728-46d0cbab32b 5 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
