MANILA, Philippines — The concert for a cause, “Ikalawang Yugto: Buhay at Pag-Ibig,” is set to take center stage at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) Plenary Hall on March 27, 2026 (Friday). This milestone event marks a significant new chapter for the legendary band IV Of Spades, the blossoming careers of Kai Montinola and Kolette Madelo (Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11), and the rising duo ArChan; Tawag Ng Tanghalan (TNT) Season 2 Grand Duets Champions Arvery Lagoring and Christian Tibayan.

The YUGTO concert series is dedicated to highlighting contemporary Original Pilipino Music (OPM) by featuring performers who resonate deeply with today’s music lovers. The series began with the successful “Unang Yugto” in August 2025, which featured Cup of Joe, Amiel Sol, Earl Agustin, and Maris Racal.

“Ikalawang Yugto” serves as a major follow-up for IV of Spades after their celebrated, sold-out comeback concert at the Mall of Asia Arena last December. For Kai Montinola and Kolette Madelo, the evening represents a grand introduction of their musical talents to a wider audience.

“I’m so excited because I’ll get to meet and collaborate with new people through this project,” shared Kolette, who will be sharing the stage with IV of Spades and ArChan for the first time. Kai expressed her surprise and gratitude for the opportunity: “I’m very honored to be one of the chosen performers so early in 2026”.

For Christian Tibayan, the concert is a “high noon, game on” opportunity, marking ArChan’s first major performance since their championship win two months ago.

Under the helm of Concert Director Carlo Jan Landrito, the artists promise that “Ikalawang Yugto” will be an intimate and classy night celebrating life and love, all for a meaningful cause.
