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.”
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 Repeathave 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 Philippinescharts 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.”

Prepare to be moved once again by the voices that have inspired millions.
Almost 4 years after moving overseas, the Philippines’ Queen of Soul Jaya is set to reunite with her Filipino fans as she marks her homecoming with a grand concert, “Jaya All Hits,” set to stage on September 14 at the New Frontier Theater.
Promising to take the audience to a nostalgic feeling with her iconic masterpieces,”Jaya All Hits” will be an extraordinary night of soulful emotions and legendary performances from Jaya herself, under the direction of premier concerts and events director John Prats, and produced by Cornerstone Concerts, L-Squared Productions PH, and CAL Studios.
The country’s Queen of Soul expressed her excitement for her anticipated homecoming, specifically mentioning missing the people and the nature of her work in the Philippines. “I missed the co-artists, makeup and hair people, friends and production people that not only makes my job pure joy but I missed the daily chika and learnings,” Jaya shared, recalling her experiences years ago before migrating to the US. “We have one another to really lean on and when we need to unload and talk stories, you would be so shocked to know what comes out of our mouths—just kidding, but not really,” she added.
Meanwhile, Jaya is thrilled to be staging her homecoming concert in September, realizing all the changes that happened throughout the years of not being in the country. “This homecoming concert is quite exciting and emotional for me. Many of my beloved and respected mentors and friends have passed away, and the music landscape has changed since I last was in the Philippines,” she shared, then revealing personal changes she had to go through. “I have also changed in many ways when it comes to my craft. At 55 years old, I hope that you will still enjoy my song choices and delivery, though somewhat mature but heartfelt.”
Inviting her fans to a reunion at “Jaya All Hits,” the country’s Queen of Soul expressed her gratitude and excitement to be performing in front of the Filipino audience once again. “I am filled with excitement to see my listeners and show them once again that I am still here, doing what I love and using the blessings that God has truly willed for me,” she expressed, promising a night of love and music. “ Let’s make September 14 our night together and fill it with love, stories and encouragement, which I know all of us need, and thank you in advance for your love and support!”
The iconic Music Museum in Greenhills, San Juan, Philippines, will come to life on August 20, 2025, at 8:00 PM with the nostalgic songs of the legendary Filipino show band Music and Magic. The concert, called “Music Museum Honors Sandra Chavez: Music & Magic & Friends,” will be a night to remember with music, memories, and friendship as the group gets back together to honor their former manager, Sandra Chavez. The band, which was fronted by the now-famous pop diva Kuh Ledesma, altered the way people in Manila listened to lounge music and helped Ledesma’s solo career take off.
Formed in 1979, Music and Magic was a key part of the Philippine music scene. Their energetic performances and wide range of songs kept audiences interested until they broke up in 1986. The band had some of the best musicians of their time, like Kuh Ledesma, Bobby Taylo, Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano, Fe de los Reyes, Jet Montelibano, Butch Elizalde, Nonoy Mendoza, and Vicky Sevilla-Pangilinan. They were known for their tight harmonies, theatrical flair, and ability to connect with audiences.
Philippine Concerts was invited during their rehearsals in Pasay and got a chance to see and talk to the members of Music and Magic.
The event, originally planned as a surprise birthday party for Chavez, has now become a fundraiser to help her as she recovers from her health condition, showing how much the group cares about her.
“We want to check on her to make sure she’s okay,” Kuh Ledesma said.
“We’ve been wanting to do a show for her as well; she’s recovering, and we’ve always wanted to do a show—a reunion, after all,” Fe added.
Sandra Chavez is known as a legendary figure in artist management because she has had a huge impact on the careers of many artists. Kuh has shared that she first managed the Music and Magic artists, and it paved the way for her to manage artists, including Zsa Zsa Padilla, Gary Valenciano, and Sharon Cuneta. She has helped musicians, performers, and other creative people achieve great success by spotting talent and using a strategic approach. She is a legend at navigating the world of Philippine entertainment.
To make the Music & Magic reunion a reality, Jet Montelibano cut short his vacation to join his bandmates, while Fe de los Reyes extended her stay in the Philippines.
“I think you know, the universe went with us; it was meant to be. When your heart is there, walang kokontra,” Fe added.
What’s remarkable is their enduring bond over the years. “We’re like family. Nagkikita pa rin kami. Nag-uusap pa rin kami. We have a chat group. So, we’re connected in more ways than one,” Fe shared.
When they’re asked about the planning and conceptualizing of the reunion show, Vicky shared, “We just close our eyes; we find our body, our mind, and the words coming out. It just made our voice even better.”
When a band gets back together after being apart for a while and spends time practicing, their musical and emotional connections come back naturally, along with their shared talent, story, and creative energy.
The Music Museum will host it for free, and aside from that, the venue adds to the importance of the show. It has hosted many memorable concerts, including Music and Magic’s shows in the late 1980s, and is one of Manila’s most iconic performance spaces. For a lot of fans, the venue brings back memories of the band’s best years, which makes it the perfect place for this reunion.
The Music Museum’s intimate setting will make people feel close to the performers, which will make the night more nostalgic. The “Music Museum Honors Sandra Chavez: Music & Magic & Friends” is more than just a concert; it’s a celebration of friendship, legacy, and the fact that music can bring people together. The concert is a chance for people who grew up listening to Music and Magic to relive the magic of their performances.
Jet Montelibano, Kuh Ledesma, and Vicky Sevilla-Pangilinan invite you to be part of “Music Museum Honors Sandra Chavez: Music & Magic & Friends,” on August 20th.

Philippines’ Pop Ballad King, Nonoy Zuñiga, is set to celebrate his 50th anniversary as a professional singer with a grand concert titled Beyond Gold: Songs of a Lifetime on September 5 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. Joining him on this golden milestone are special guests Kuh Ledesma, Rey Valera, Marco Sison, and Lani Misalucha, along with special participation from Andrea Gutierrez, Isha Ponti, and Raymond Gorospe.
At a press conference held on Thursday, August 7, Zuñiga shared his excitement over the upcoming show, which he promises will take audiences on a nostalgic trip through the decades. “I’ll be doing the song for the disabled, which I don’t normally sing,” he said, referring to “Ako Ay Ikaw Rin”, the title track from his debut album. The song not only catapulted him to fame but also earned him a double platinum status and won Album of the Year at both the Awit Awards and Cecille Awards.
When asked how the concept came together, Zuñiga explained that he had long planned to mark this personal milestone with something special. Though Beyond Gold is technically a solo concert, he invited long-time industry friends to help showcase the many eras of his storied career. Concert director Calvin Neria echoed this sentiment, saying, “The Beyond Gold: Songs of a Lifetime concert is a collaboration with Mr. Zuñiga. We’re excited to show all sides of him—from his days as a folk singer to the OPM icon he is now. We promise you a very classy and nostalgic show.”
The press event also featured live performances by Zuñiga and two of his opening acts, Ponti and Gutierrez, giving attendees a glimpse of what’s to come.
Spanning five decades in a constantly evolving Original Pilipino Music (OPM) scene, Zuñiga’s enduring presence is a feat in itself. He reflected on how the industry has changed, particularly the shift away from physical albums. “I wish fans still had the choice to stream and also buy physical albums,” he shared. Nonetheless, he expressed gratitude upon learning that he currently has nearly 300,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, with several of his songs enjoying multi-million streams, proof that his music continues to resonate with audiences across generations.
Looking to the future, Zuñiga expressed a desire to collaborate with today’s top OPM artists such as Erik Santos, Daryl Ong, Morissette Amon, and KZ Tandingan, a testament to his openness to bridging classic and contemporary sounds.
As the final lineup continues to take shape, Zuñiga also revealed one more dream: a duet with the Megastar Sharon Cuneta.
Nonoy Zuñiga, along with his special guests, is looking forward to performing for you at the Newport Performing Arts Theater on September 5. Tickets are still available at TicketWorld online and outlets.
Fresh from their latest individual successes, pop-alternative band Cup of Joe and actress-singer Maris Racal are set to collaborate for the first time at YUGTO: Buhay at Pag-Ibig, A Concert for a Cause, happening on August 15, 2025, at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Pasay City. This much-anticipated concert marks not only a milestone musical pairing but also supports a meaningful cause.
Cup of Joe, currently one of the hottest musical groups in the country, continues to break records with their hit single “Multo”, which has now reached nearly 260 million streams on Spotify. The hauntingly relatable track about longing for lost love also gained further popularity as part of the official soundtrack for Viva One’s rom-com series “Seducing Drake Palma”.
Just last July 27, band members Rafa Ridao and Gian Bernardino were awarded Vocalists of the Year at the 2025 New Hue Video Music Awards, further solidifying COJ’s reputation as a top-tier OPM band.
Meanwhile, Maris Racal is enjoying massive success as the lead star of “Sunshine”, currently on its second week in 35 SM Cinemas nationwide. Directed by Antoinette Jadaone, the film is drawing audiences for its emotional depth and for Maris’ widely praised performance.
On August 15, Cup of Joe and Maris will finally perform together live, though they’ve yet to reveal their chosen piece, they tease that it will perfectly capture the concert’s theme of bittersweet romance and emotional storytelling.
Dubbed the “Hugot Concert of 2025,” YUGTO: Buhay at Pag-Ibig, A concert for a Cause, also features rising hugot-hitmakers Amiel Sol (Tibok) and Earl Agustin (Sa Bawat Sandali), promising a night of heart-stirring performances and music that speaks to the soul.
