    Bicol—renowned for its fiery cuisine, historical sites, diverse marine life, and breathtaking natural wonders—takes center stage as it hosts the fundraising concert Musika Para Sa Bikol: Himig ng Bayanihan.

    On 06 December 2024, the Ibalong Centrum for Recreation (ICR) in Legazpi City will be the setting for a night of music that brings together community and a shared love for one of the Philippines’ beloved regions. From the sheer majesty of the world-renowned Mayon Volcano and the tranquil shores of its beaches to the thrill of swimming alongside whale sharks in Donsol and the bold flavors of iconic dishes like Laing and Bicol Express, Bicol is a region that’s easy to fall in love with.

    However, Bicol’s many offerings are set against the harsh reality of its being one of the most typhoon-prone regions in the country. With an average of 20 typhoons hitting the region annually, Bicol faces widespread flooding, destruction of homes and infrastructure, devastation of agricultural lands, and disruptions to livelihoods, particularly in coastal and low-lying areas.

Musika Para Sa Bikol: Himig ng Bayanihan, also serves as a reminder that Bicol is more than just a place—it’s an experience, a feeling, and a source of pride for all Filipinos.

    This fundraising concert is a testament to the Filipino spirit of bayanihan, uniting people to support those in need. Net proceeds and donations will go toward immediate relief efforts, as well as long-term recovery projects to help the region bounce back stronger than ever. An exciting and diverse lineup of musical acts will make for an unforgettable night of entertainment.

  • Manila Symphony Orchestra Captivated the Audience at a Night at the Pops

    Manila Symphony Orchestra Captivated the Audience at a Night at the Pops

    November 15, 2024 – The New Frontier Theater was abuzz with a diverse set of crowd as people of all ages – from teenagers to seniors – flocked the venue, many dressed in their preppiest attire. They were to see the main stars of the evening, the Manila Symphony Orchestra (MSO), under the baton of Maestro Marlon Chen, and everyone gathered to bask in the glory of their symphony for A Night at the Pops

    Presented by ElectricSheep Entertainment, the concert featured a refreshing orchestral take on many beloved pop songs – swaying from the classics to the modern – with a little bit of help from some of the finest local talents – veteran singers Barbie Almalbis and Acel Bisa-van Ommen, rising stars Lola Amour, Arthur Miguel and Jason Dhakal, and newcomer Dylan Burton.

    The setlist was divided into two, each one seemingly following a pattern. It started off with joyful classics – Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” and Vivaldi’s “Spring” – which are pieces that are recognizable to many. It was followed by an array of pop songs that are easy favorites for most of the crowd, and this is where MSO thrives: in taking something traditional and giving it a quirky, modern twist.

    For instance, QUEEN’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, a complex rock piece by itself, was made even more explosive with the mix of the booming brass and strings, the underlining electric guitar and the pulsing percussion. Their arrangement of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” and Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are” sounded triumphant. A stand-out moment was MSO’s rendition of BTS’ funk-disco song “Dynamite” which induced a feel-good, sing-along vibe to the crowd, almost to the point of dancing. 

    The special guests of the evening also gave more color to the stage as MSO played. Acel Bisa-van Ommen and Barbie Almalbis played guitar and sang together during Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well”. Arthur Miguel sang Rey Valera’s “Kahit Maputi na ang Buhok Ko” while Jason Dhakal did Tony Bennet’s “The Way You Look Tonight” and Sitti’s “Para sa Akin”. 

    The concert also highlighted a fluid collaboration between our local talents and MSO, with both sides breathing a new life into each other. With the moving string arrangement, Arthur Miguel’s soulful vocals shone even more when he performed his original song “Lihim”. Lola Amour, a band that includes brass instruments in their sets, jived with the orchestra as they played their hits “Fallen” and “Raining in Manila”. Acel Bisa-van Ommen gave a striking farewell performance with “Torete”, a song that became an inescapable household favorite in the year 2000. She is set to migrate to the Netherlands next year. Barbie Almalbis’ “Tabing Ilog” became even more iconic with MSO’s backing. To cap the evening off, MSO performed an encore performance of Eraserheads’ “Ang Huling El Bimbo” as the crowd sang along. 

    A Night at the Pops captivated the audience with its modern mix of orchestral and pop music, giving both genres more layers: Orchestral music doesn’t always need to be so intimidatingly rigid and pop music doesn’t always have to be encased in a bubble.  MSO, as well as the special guests, performed impressively well for the whole evening. It was also commendable how Maestro Marlon Chen encouraged the crowd to clap their hands to the beat, to cheer and even to sing along loudly, things that seemed to be taboo during orchestra concerts. The concert proved that orchestral music could be enjoyable for everyone, especially when played live. Hopefully, there will be more events like this one in the near future!

  • Ben&Ben Unveils First-Ever “Animation-Concert” Hybrid

    Ben&Ben Unveils First-Ever “Animation-Concert” Hybrid

    The nine-piece collective aims to revolutionize headline shows with an innovative mix of animation, film, and music performances.

    Filipino band Ben&Ben is set to redefine the live concert experience with an audio-visual extravaganza that seamlessly blends animation, film, and music performances into one immersive package. Their upcoming arena show, scheduled for December 14, 2024, at SM Mall of Asia Arena, promises to be a groundbreaking event in the local music scene.

    Ben&Ben

    Inspired by their highly anticipated third studio album, The Traveller Across Dimensions, the concert will introduce a new dimension of storytelling, combining live music with cutting-edge multimedia elements. The upcoming album, which pushes the boundaries of traditional music releases, will serve as the foundation for this innovative concert, thematically and conceptually speaking.

    Ben&Ben has partnered with a talented team of concert directors, designers, and multimedia artists to create an animation-concert hybrid that will transport the concert-going audience into a magical, world-building realm. Working alongside Puppeteer Studios, the Pagtingin hitmakers will also introduce a cast of unique characters and an immersive universe that promises to captivate the audience from start to finish.

    “We’re thrilled to share the story of Liwanag, the titular character in The Traveller Across Dimensions,” the nine-piece act explains in a collective statement. “We’ve shown a glimpse of this story in our “Triumph” music video, but the concert will reveal the full narrative in a way that no one has seen before.”

    This special concert is designed to exude a cinematic experience, integrating the excitement of a live performance with the confines of filmmaking. Ben&Ben’s The Traveller Across Dimensions concert aims to elevate the theatricality of their previous shows, hinting at exploring new, interactive technology to further enhance the show.

    “It’s also the first time we will be incorporating Liwanag LED wristbands as part of the immersive experience,” the critically acclaimed act shares. “We are working with Pixmob, the same tech provider as some of the international concerts we’ve attended in the past.”

    In terms of the setlist, the concert will feature a dynamic mix of crowd favorites, personal picks, and new songs from their latest album. In keeping up with their signature style, Ben&Ben have meticulously arranged the lineup of songs to align with the overarching narrative. This helps in bringing an integrated storytelling experience to the live stage.

    “It’s a delicate balance between staying true to what fans love and offering something new,” the band adds. “We’re excited to bring these songs to life in a way that’s never been done before.”

    Tickets for Ben&Ben’s The Traveller Across Dimensions concert are now available via SM Tickets.

  • Cebu Definitely Loves OPM

    Cebu Definitely Loves OPM

    Cebu made it loud and clear: they love OPM! The full-packed ballroom of NUSTAR was the ultimate proof.


    ” I Love OPM” brought together some of the best talents in Filipino music for an unforgettable three hour show, with the audience singing along, dancing, and feeling deeply connected.

    The evening was a showcase of timeless hits. Marco Sison’s hit songs ‘ make believe ‘ and ‘ si aida, si lorna o si fe ‘ were big winners. His duet with Kuh on Habang May Buhay had the crowd swooning, capturing that classic kilig factor. ” Angayan sila ” said someone from the audience.

    Vina Morales electrified the audience with her OPM retro medley, bringing everyone to their feet. Her duet with Kuh, a mash up of Basil Valdez’ “kung ako’y iiwan mo ‘ and Dulce’s ‘ paano kung wala ka na ‘ was seamless; their voices blended perfectly, with neither overshadowing the other. This Kuh-Vina combination felt fresh, showing great potential for more future collaborations beyond Kuh’s usual singing partners.

    Nonoy Zuniga surprised everyone with his humor, showing a playful side that had the audience rolling with laughter. Yet his soulful rendition of I’ll Never Say Goodbye was pure sincerity—each note was heartfelt. The crowd was silent, completely captivated.


    Meanwhile, the Apo Hiking Society or the Apo ageless society as Kuh called them delivered their signature charm, performing their biggest hits, including a duet with Kuh on Ewan, Apo’s very first hit, proving that a great song that no matter the age or who sings it, remains fresh to the ears.

    Kuh, as always, delivered! Despite a slight cough at the beginning due to the smoke machine as she explained , she dazzled, delivering her classic hits with the same brilliance and excellence that have made her a household name. She has long championed Filipino music, and her dedication was evident in every song, especially her ‘ Pilipino Ako ‘
    Pilipino Ako is a powerful nationalistic song that celebrates the pride we should all feel as Filipinos. The accompanying video showcased Filipinos who have made a mark on the global stage in various fields, including film, music, and sports. What was surprising, yet humbling, was that Kuh was not featured in the video’s background—despite the fact that she was one of the first who became a judge at the Miss Universe pageant.

    The show began late, but it was worth the wait, especially knowing the event was for a good cause. Universal Cultural Foundation’s support for Kalipay Negrense, an organization dedicated to rescuing and caring for disadvantaged children, made the concert even more meaningful. The whole cast’s powerful performance of Lift Up Your Hands was a heartfelt moment of solidarity, reminding us that the only way forward is to turn to God, trust in Him, and accept Him as our Savior.

    Despite the three-hour show time, many were left wanting more. How I wish Kuh would explore current hits like the songs of Ben&Ben or Sarah G’s Tala, or even SB 19’s kapangyarihan . And with Kuh, there’s no doubt she could make these songs her own.

    With the rich lineup of OPM hits, this fourth installment of “I Love OPM” in Cebu was a resounding success. Here’s hoping for a fifth , sixth and so on in Cebu or in other parts of the country—or the world. OPM unites us, makes us proud, and as Kuh Ledesma’s show proved, it’s a priceless part of our cultural heritage worth celebrating.

Still, it’s also their unmistakable knack for tackling realistically dark themes and converting them into epic crowd anthems and music videos that have earned the respect of audiences worldwide and even their peers.

    Led by both enchanting and empowering vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk, the band – rounded out by guitarist Roman Ibramkhalilov, bassist Eugene Abdukhanov, and drummer Vladislav “Vladi” Ulasevich – has garnered millions of cross-platform streams and views worldwide, climbing the ladder to success since their official formation in 2009, with an intense touring ethic (supporting heavyweights in the game like ARCH ENEMY and CRADLE OF FILTH) and a no-guts-no-glory attitude when it came to refining and releasing what would be hailed as vintage Jinjer tunes, which were riddled with various styles outside the genre including funk, soul, R&B, jazz and even reggae – which was even hard to ignore by their peers.

    The band’s 2017 single “Pisces” is their biggest to date, with its live video performance currently 88 million views. Recently, the band released “Someone’s Daughter,” and have just announced that their long-awaited fifth studio album Duél is set to be released next year, February 7th, 2025, fired-up with the release of the musically dizzying and wonderfully technical single “Kafka,” which can be heard now on all online music platforms and streaming sites.

    Of course, the best news of all is that the band WILL be returning to Manila, which is a heavy metal delight to its legion of supporters and friends. It has been a crazy six years since the band was last here (as part of PULP Summer Slam XVIII: Of Good and Evil…) and fans rejoiced when it was announced that they would return to headline their very own show, JINJER ASIAN TOUR 2025 IN MANILA happening February 18th, 2025 at the Skydome, SM North EDSA.

    M2M Live in Manila Ticket Prices and Seat Plan

    Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn, who shot to international fame in the early 2000s, are returning to the stage to celebrate their legacy. 

    “It was never a question of where we’d start our tour if we ever reunited – Asia was always the first choice. Some of our best memories are from there.” says Marion Ravn.

    2025 marks the 25th anniversary of M2M’s best-selling album «Shades of Purple”, and the fans of the duo have continued to listen to their music and begged for a reunion for a long time. Following their split in 2002, both Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn pursued successful solo careers, but the duo never performed together again – until now.

    On September 22nd (twenty-five after nine) Marit and Marion’s followers were sent into a frenzy when M2M posted a video of themselves singing a snippet of their most-streamed hit, “The Day You Went Away“. The clip went viral, racking up millions of views within hours, as fans flooded the comments with tour requests. And now, it’s finally happening.

    The Better Endings Tour” is the beginning of a new chapter for M2M, and it brings them back to Asia. Despite spending nearly a decade together, travelling all over the world and selling over 12 million albums worldwide, M2M never embarked on their own headlining tour. 

    “We’re finally getting to do what we always dreamed of. “I can’t wait to get back on stage playing music with Marit again”, says Marion.

    “Making “Shades of Purple” changed our lives forever, and playing these songs together again, in the same room, while rediscovering both our music and our friendship at the same time, is a particular kind of magic. It feels powerful, like a celebration, Marit says.

    “Let’s give this story a better ending. The ending it deserves. We truly can’t wait to see you (again).”
