Flawed Mangoes

Flawed Mangoes, the project of Boston-based producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Evan Lo, plays Manchester's The Deaf Institute, with Hongza on the bill.

Flawed Mangoes is the project of Evan Lo, a producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Boston. Lo began by posting mixes to SoundCloud and worked with artists including Royal & the Serpent and Josh Pan before the breakthrough track Killswitch Lullaby took off on TikTok in 2023. The song is credited with helping to popularise the hopecore sound, and the project's catalogue includes The Beginning, Swimming and Dramamine, which together have passed 200 million streams on Spotify.

The project's wider reach includes collaborations with sombr, Øneheart and Skepta, along with an appearance on Kai Cenat's Mafiathon stream. Following a run of albums, this is part of a first headline tour, which began in early 2026 with sold-out dates across the United States.

The Deaf Institute is a Manchester venue that hosts concerts and shows. The bill is Flawed Mangoes with Hongza in support.
