MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The Philippines’ renowned Maestro and National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab, more affectionately known as “Mr. C,” brings his celebrated talent back to the stage in the highly anticipated MaestroClass Concert Series on November 14 to 16, 2025. The event marks the first major concert to grace the stage of Rockwell’s state-of-the-art Proscenium Theater in Makati since its recent opening.

Since its grand opening on September 26 with The Bodyguard The Musical, the Proscenium Theater has quickly established itself as one of the city’s premier performance venues. Praised for its exceptional acoustics and elegant interiors, Rockwell’s Proscenium Theater now sets the stage for the country’s living music legend and beloved Maestro.

For this landmark concert, Mr. C unites a powerhouse lineup of the most celebrated voices in Philippine music – featuring The Concert King Martin Nievera, Asia’s Nightingale Lani Misalucha, and the Ryan Cayabyab Singers, a vocal group personally handpicked by the Maestro himself. Together, they will perform a curated repertoire of Maestro Ryan Cayabyab’s well-loved compositions. 

Housed within the intimate 780-seat Proscenium Theater, Ryan Cayabyab’s MaestroClass Concert Series promises a singular musical experience. The venue itself is a masterpiece, being the only theater in the Philippines built with natural acoustics. Adding to the prestige, the venue boasts of a Steinway piano – the first to be permanently housed in a Philippine theater – to be played by Mr. C himself. This unparalleled pairing of world-class artistry and state-of-the-art acoustic technology affirms The Proscenium’s status as a premier destination for music and culture in the country.

The MaestroClass Concert Series opens its doors not only to music lovers but to anyone who wants to be part of an intimate encounter with National Artist Ryan Cayabyab. Under Mr. C’s direction, audiences are invited to go beyond simply watching a performance — to listen closely, learn from his artistry, and experience the depth of his music alongside world-class voices coming together in one unforgettable night.

Global icon Jackson Wang has made his highly anticipated return to the world stage, kicking off the MAGICMAN 2 WORLD TOUR 2025/26 in Bangkok with two consecutive sold-out shows, October 3 and Saturday, October 4, 2025, underscoring Jackson’s star power and international appeal.

These concerts marked Jackson’s first solo tour dates in almost 2 years. 

Known as the “Magic Man,” he returned with a performance that went beyond music, inviting audiences into a deeply personal and cinematic journey of sound, visuals, and storytelling.

Built around MAGICMAN 2, Jackson’s most personal and heartfelt album to date, the show reflected his genuine artistic expression. The performance unfolded like a feature film: progressing through emotional chapters — from the manic highs of Strength, to moments of Seduction, through raw emotional Realization, into the chaos of going Wild, and finally arriving at a sincere conclusion of Acceptance. Each transition was executed with cinematic precision, allowing the audience to connect with the music on a personal and emotional level.

The stage design, lighting, and soundscape were crafted to support Jackson’s storytelling, amplifying the emotional resonance of each song and emphasizing the sincerity behind every performance.

The show also showcased Jackson’s multifaceted journey, drawing from his varied experiences and offering fans an intimate look into his personal growth and artistic evolution.

From Bangkok, the MAGICMAN 2 WORLD TOUR will continue globally, with a stop happening in Manila at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Nov 2, 2025, marking his first ever solo headlining show in Manila and another milestone in Jackson’s rise as a global cultural force.

Tickets are available at TicketNet outlets and www.ticketnet.com.ph.

The homecoming show aims to create space for reconnection through music.

Filipino-Norwegian singer-songwriter HILLARI is set to headline her first solo show in the Philippines this September 21, 2025, at Sari-Sari bar in Makati City.

The rising R&B phenom will be performing an intimate set on the strength of her recently released 7-track EP, New Beginnings, which is described as a “bold body of work that explores transformation, letting go, and stepping into one’s power.”

HILLARI considers the show her official homecoming, reconnecting with her roots in an intimate way. “For me, it feels extra special to share my music with my people. Words cannot express how excited I am to do my first official headline show in Manila. To connect with my audience and my famHilly in a personal way and hear their stories.”

Fans can expect a full-band performance of songs from New Beginnings, alongside the debut live performance of her upcoming single “I’m Still.” The laid-back, soul-infused track serves as a reminder for people to “take a breather, slow their pace, and find beauty in stillness.”

“It’s the New Beginnings Experience: a space to sing, dance, laugh, and even cry together,” HILLARI describes her upcoming solo show. “It’s all about connecting on a deeper level with my famHilly. Maybe a surprise choir will join us, maybe not. But most of all, I’m excited to hear my famHilly sing their hearts out, [because] as we all know, our people can really sing.”

Tickets to HILLARI: Live in Manila are priced at PHP 800 and available exclusively at https://hillariliveinmanila.helixpay.ph.

This event is presented by AIRTIME and GNN.

The multi-awarded singer-songwriter is set to return to the big stage this November 2025 with the Manila String Machine.

It’s official: tickets to Ebe Dancel with The Manila String Machine: The Repeat have officially sold out after just one day.

In a simple, straightforward message, Dancel expressed his gratitude to his fans for supporting him all these years. “Salamat dahil after 25 years, mahal niyo pa rin ako. See you guys soon.”

The concert marks the iconic singer-songwriter’s highly anticipated comeback to the big stage, reaffirming his 25-year legacy that is defined by timeless songwriting, heartfelt performances, and a devoted fanbase that continues to grow across generations.

Earlier this year, Dancel’s catalog enjoyed a resurgence in streaming, highlighted by the viral success of “Burnout.” With the buzz around the concert contributing to the renewed appreciation for the song, the track recently peaked on the Spotify Philippines charts at no. 19 on September 2, 2025—two days after the tickets were declared sold out, according to allchartsph. To date, the song has surpassed 100 million streams on the platform, a rare feat for an OPM track released in the 2000s.

Ebe Dancel with The Manila String Machine: The Repeat will take place on November 15, 2025, at the New Frontier Theater. For this one-night-only event, Dancel will revisit his greatest hits and rare gems with the lush, intricate accompaniment of a 20-piece orchestra led by musical director Chino David. The show, directed by Paolo Valenciano, promises a game-changing concert experience for attendees and fans, while incorporating elevated production values. “You could say it is the same show, but with a few twists and turns along the way,” shares the seasoned concert director. “If you love his music, this one will hit hard.”

Chino David likens the upcoming concert to reconnecting with a dear friend. “Imagine seeing a longtime friend after years of no contact—you know this person inside out, but they just look a bit different and talk a bit different. This concert is that friend. You know the songs, you know Ebe’s voice, and you know the MSM will be there, but it will just look a bit different, sound a bit different, and maybe touch your heart a bit different.”
