Surprising the crowd with a banger performance, Cup of Joe welcomed Pinoy hip-hop artist Gloc-9 on stage to perform “Bagsakan” on the first day of their sold-out Stardust concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Gloc-9, a pioneering Filipino rapper and singer-songwriter, is widely recognized for shaping and popularizing the Pinoy hip-hop genre.

Stardust is Cup of Joe’s third major solo concert and their second in 2025, following SILAKBO. 

Bringing out an intergalactic experience, the concept of the show takes the Joewahs on a journey through the band’s seven years’ worth of music.

On Day 1, the concert was fronted by promising singer-songwriter dana paulene, who is best known for her tracks “uod love story,” “akong-ako” and her recent collaboration single with Earl Agustin, “Minamahal,” written by Earl himself and Amiel Sol.

As one of the highlights of the night, The Araneta Group included Cup of Joe’s picture on its Wall of Fame, which features iconic events and performers associated with the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Throughout this three-day concert, official Cup of Joe merchandise, including pre-orders of the SILAKBO vinyl album, is available at the entrance of The Big Dome. Those who wish to pre-order the vinyl album may sign up here: https://bit.ly/SILAKBOvinyl.
