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.”
On August 23, 2025, the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City glowed as fans filled the venue with chants, cheers, and unwavering devotion. From the moment the lights dimmed and the first notes of “Chains” pulsed through the speakers, the room erupted. For both HIGHLIGHT and their Filipino supporters, the Highlight Live 2025 [Ride or Die] in Manila was not just a concert but the continuation of a bond that had waited far too long to be rekindled.
The energy soared early as the group launched into “Chains,” “Switch On,” and “Stay,” immediately setting the tone for a night of energy and connection. From the very first note, the Filipino crowd proved their devotion, chanting every fanchant in perfect unison and singing along with a force that made the venue shake.
What followed was a whirlwind of emotion and nostalgia. “Shadow” and “Sad Movie” carried the bittersweet intensity that only HIGHLIGHT can deliver, with the crowd swaying in unison, hanging onto every lyric. The playful energy of “We Up” and “Dance With U” lifted the mood, drawing laughter as fans mirrored the members’ dance moves from the floor. “Hands Up” and “Celebrate” turned the theater into a party, while the Japanese track “Kimi Wa Dou?” became a reminder of how far their music has reached across borders and years.
The most poignant moments of the night came during the ballads. “Though I Call Your Name” quieted the crowd into reverent stillness before voices rose again in harmony. In “On Rainy Days”, the members stepped back, letting the audience carry the song as their eyes scanned the room, glistening with emotion. It was the same for “12:30,” where the haunting chorus became a shared cry of memory and love. For many, these were songs that had soundtracked their youth, and now, standing shoulder to shoulder, they were able to sing them back to the very artists who had given them so much.
But HIGHLIGHT is just as much fire as they are tenderness. When the stage lights flashed red for “Fiction” and “Shock,” the atmosphere shifted into pure adrenaline. Fans roared the fanchants in perfect timing, so loud and united it felt as though the entire theater shook with their voices. The members, visibly thrilled, responded with even greater intensity, moving across the stage with the same passion that defined their early years. For a moment, time folded back, and it was as if BEAST was alive again, burning as brightly as ever.
The momentum didn’t stop. “BODY” brought playful charisma, while “Plz Don’t Be Sad” had the entire theater jumping in joy, the chorus echoing like a shared mantra against sadness. The encore—“Don’t Leave,” “In My Head,” “Follow Me,” and the final “Freeze”—felt like both a celebration and a goodbye, with confetti raining down as fans reached for the last precious seconds of the night.
Between songs, the members spoke with sincerity that made the evening even more memorable. Leader Yoon Dujun admitted, “It’s been nine years since we last visited the Philippines. We’re so sorry we came back here too late. We’ll do our best to come as soon as possible for you.” Yoseop, always emotional, told the crowd, “Thank you for your hot and passionate cheers. I’m sad this is only one night, but your voices make me so happy.” Gikwang added with a grin, “Your energy doesn’t need an energizer!” and Dongwoon charmed fans with his memory of being called “Harry Potter” in the Philippines, sweetly saying, “You are my Harry Potter and Hermione.” Each word felt like an embrace, as if the members themselves were assuring the crowd of how much they had been missed.
What made the night even more special was the playful banter between HIGHLIGHT and their fans. The members teased one another, joking about their ages and energy levels, only for the crowd to cheer louder in support. At one point, Gikwang playfully remarked how powerful the fans’ voices were, and Dujun teased that their cheers were even louder than the group’s singing. Yoseop leaned into the fans’ humor, giggling as the crowd shouted witty chants back at him, while Dongwoon charmed everyone with his attempts to speak Tagalog, drawing laughter and applause. The back-and-forth felt effortless, like a conversation between old friends who had picked up right where they left off nine years ago.
And for the years that have gone by waiting for their favorite Palagi, LIGHTs delivered another promise. Just as HIGHLIGHT had been their constant source of strength and joy through the years, fans vowed to always be there for the members, through every season and every stage. The declaration made the group pause, visibly moved, their eyes soft as they took in the sea of lights shining back at them.
As the final notes and lights faded, the sentiment lingered. The fans’ voices, their chants, their laughter, and their promise of always wrapped the night in something more lasting than music. August 23, 2025, was not simply a concert. It was proof that no matter the years apart, the bond between HIGHLIGHT and their Filipino fans endures—constant, unwavering, and forever their Palagi.

On August 22, 2025, Manila witnessed a homecoming six years in the making as Park Bo-gum graced the Mall of Asia Arena for his “Be With You” fan meeting, delivering an evening that fans will cherish for years.
He began the night in a faux police uniform, greeting his beloved audience with heartfelt charm. Opening the show with the Korean songs “Annyeong” and “Just Fine,” Bo-gum set a warm and uplifting tone. Then, with genuine affection, he greeted fans directly: “Hello, everyone! Hello, Philippines! Thank you so much for your support and love. How have you been? It’s been a long time, right?” followed by, “I really, really missed you guys! I’m so happy to see you all!”
The fan meeting was beautifully structured like a train journey that took fans through three thematic “stations.” At the B-Cut Station, Bo-gum shared personal snapshots—including a touching photo of the bouquet fans had presented upon arrival, as well as a candid morning selfie. He said, “You guys are all my flowers… Please do not prepare or buy these flowers,” a comment that truly reflected how he treasures their genuine support.
At the B Station, he spoke about his projects from the past year. Expressing his gratitude, he said, “I think I have a lot of blessings this year, and also, at this moment, I’m receiving the blessings as well… I’m actually having a very thankful time because I was able to greet you with a lot of good projects… and also, meeting you guys, I’m feeling really blessed right now.” Watching a clip from When Life Gives You Tangerines, Bo-gum reflected, “It made me think about how to express love and what it means to be a good adult… I was able to finish this project with a heart filled with love and happiness.” He also revealed that during filming for Good Boy, he didn’t require a stunt double, making the performances even more authentic.
In the magical Be With You Station, Park Bo-gum granted meaningful fan wishes. He played Happy Birthday on the piano for a 72-year-old mother with tears in her eyes, took selfies, offered warm hugs, and even played the Filipino game jackstone—learning and using phrases like “mahal kita,” “miss kita,” and “ang ganda mo,” delighting the audience with his sweet sincerity.
Music was a core part of the night. After changing into a more casual denim outfit, Bo-gum performed numbers like “On My Way,” “Through the Night,” and “My Person,” and delivered heartfelt renditions of beloved Filipino songs such as Nobita’s “Ikaw Lang” and Gary Valenciano’s “I Will Be Here,” along with the Christian hymn “How Great Thou Art.” His ability to cross cultural and linguistic lines through music resonated deeply with fans.
Even after giving his all on stage, he continued to go above and beyond. Bo-gum toured the lower-box tiers, waving and greeting fans up close in a hi-bye session that lasted well after the show had technically ended. Fans left with even more than they expected—raffle prizes including his personal memorabilia, vitamins, body oils, and souvenir items from Taiwan—all thoughtfully prepared by him.
As the night came to a close, Bo-gum shared a message filled with warmth and connection: “I hope you really have a good day and memories. When you feel tired, think of this meeting, our trip. Thank you so much for your unconditional love, even though we have different languages.” And with a promise that moved many to tears, he said simply: “I’m gonna be with you every season.”
The Mall of Asia Arena pulsed with fan culture energy throughout the night—lightsticks waving in unison, chants echoing through the venue, and fan projects lighting up the space, all creating an atmosphere of tangible love and unity. The combination of Bo-gum’s musical performances, his endearing interactions, and the collective energy of fans made the evening feel like a deeply personal reunion, not just a fan meeting.
More than anything, the fan meeting was a reflection of who Park Bo-gum truly is. Beyond being a world-class actor and a gifted musician, he is a man of remarkable humility, kindness, and thoughtfulness. Every smile, every word of gratitude, and every gesture throughout the night showed how much he values the people who support him. In a world where stardom can often create distance, Bo-gum bridges it with sincerity, proving that his greatness lies not just in his talent, but in the kind of person he is. For Manila, this was not only a night with a star—it was a night with someone who makes the world brighter simply by being himself.
Filipino singer-songwriter and producer Jeremy G made a significant mark with his 2025 EP ODDicted, a six-track project that topped the iTunes Philippines albums chart. Released on August 8, 2025, under Star Music PH, the EP showcases Jeremy G’s evolution as an artist, blending R&B, pop, and early 2000s influences while exploring themes of love, self-discovery, and vulnerability. The term “ODDicted” encapsulates the EP’s concept of unique, personal addictions to love—both romantic and self-directed.
The Kapamilya artist shared that the coined word ‘oddicted’ summed up the theme of the extended play (EP). He said, “I felt like it fit very well because everyone has their different addictions when it comes to love. It was a great thing to encapsulate the whole theme about loving someone and loving yourself.”
He co-wrote and produced the six-track EP with pop duo Darren Cashwell. “ODDicted” takes influences from the Y2K era as it delves into the highs of romance with the songs “hopeless romantic,” “addicted 2 u,” “Parking Lot” with Darren Cashwell and Chie Filomeno, “so good,” “why me?” and “Parking Lot – Hotter Version.”
The key track “addicted 2 u” brings a flirty vibe of being down bad for someone.
The Kapamilya artist also spoke about how working with different artists helped him find the inspiration again to write music for himself.
“After I released my album ‘Late Night Madness,’ I lost inspiration in trying to write for myself. I would try to write but nothing came out and it wasn’t good enough. But when I was writing for other artists, it helped me develop that inspiration even more. Those collaborations especially when I’m helping artists start their music career, it helped in shaping this EP,” Jeremy shared.
Jeremy released his first album “Late Night Madness” last year, which features “Moonlight Kisses” with Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and “BINI” with BINI Aiah.
Aside from his music, he is currently a mainstay of the Sunday noontime variety show “iWant ASAP.”
The EP’s reception has been strong, with listeners praising its fresh sonic style and Jeremy’s hands-on approach to songwriting and production. His collaboration with artists like Chie Filomeno and Darren Cashwell, alongside his experience writing for OPM acts like BGYO and AC Bonifacio, enriched the project’s depth. ODDicted reflects Jeremy’s growth as a producer and his commitment to authenticity, making it a standout in his discography.

On August 15, 2025, Quadlips, the first global unit of the AKB48 Group, held a press conference in Quezon City to launch their seventh single, “IDGA” (I Don’t Give A). The four-member girl group—Feni (JKT48, Jakarta), Hina (SKE48, Nagoya), Cole (MNL48, Manila), and Fame (BNK48, Bangkok)—shared insights into their latest release, their creative process, and their journey as a multicultural pop sensation.
The group’s trip to the Philippines was part of a larger tour of Asia that included stops in Japan and Indonesia, showing how popular they are in the Asian region.The centerpiece of the press conference was the introduction of “IDGA,” Quadlips’ seventh single and second release of 2025, following their May 2025 hit “Wings Grow Back.” Described as a fun, empowering breakup anthem, “IDGA” blends hip-hop and R&B influences with English lyrics, embodying the group’s signature global sound.
Quadlips also talked about how they came up with the idea for “IDGA” during the Q&A session.Fame, the Thai representative, talked about how the song has pop-punk overtones that remind her of classics from the early 2000s.Member Cole took the stage to highlight the song’s distinct vibe, contrasting it with the emotional depth of “Wings Grow Back.” She described “IDGA” as a track with “school vibes” and a lighthearted tone, perfect for anyone navigating relationship differences. “It’s about not giving a care and moving on,” Cole said, emphasizing its relatable message of confidence and independence.
In a stunning turn of events, the group said they were fans of Filipino P-pop star SB19 and that they wanted to work with them on a project in the future.Cole said, “SB19’s energy is amazing; we’d love to mix our styles,” she also said that “IDGA” has “school vibes” and a lighthearted tone, which makes it great for people who are going through relationship problems. “It’s about not caring and moving on,” Cole added, stressing how relatable the song’s message of confidence and independence is.
Feni, the leader of the group, explained the song’s meaning, saying it was about “girl talk” and having the strength to leave bad relationships. People really liked what she said, which shows that Quadlips can connect with fans through universal themes. Feni also teased the music video that goes along with the song. It was filmed in Tokyo’s famous Shibuya district and features colorful, TikTok-friendly visuals of the group having a fun day off.
The release of the video on Quadlips’ official YouTube channel happened at the same time as the release of the single, which made “IDGA” even more popular.
Feni’s Creative Leadership Stands Out Feni’s talk about how she helped shape “IDGA” was one of the best parts of the press conference. As the head of Quadlips, she thanked the management for giving her important creative tasks like coming up with the song’s idea, designing the costumes, and choreographing the dance. Feni said, “It’s a big responsibility, but I’m honored to help bring our vision to life.” People clapped for her leadership. Her participation shows how committed Quadlips is to being real, making sure that their music and videos show off their different identities and shared vision.
With the launch of Quadlips in the Philippines, Creat8 Stories, one of the country’s leading design thinking and marketing agencies, has entered into a strategic management partnership with A-Nexus, the management company behind Quadlips, to create opportunities for Asian talents to break into the global market. This partnership strengthens Creat8’s mission of crafting culture-driven, impactful brand experiences that connect audiences across borders, enabling the agency to expand its reach and capabilities while supporting

Fans are eagerly awaiting what’s next—perhaps that SB19 collab or more international tours. For now, Quadlips reminds us: don’t give a damn about the haters; just keep shining.

Produced in collaboration with international hitmakers Hyuk Shin and Cuurley, the album blends Lola Amour’s homegrown charm with global sensibilities.
The album also features the previously released singles Dance With My Mistakes, Misbehave, and The Moment (with KOKORO of Psychic Fever from EXILE TRIBE), alongside fresh new tracks like Did My Time, With You, and the title track Love On Loop. This new release sees Lola Amour experimenting more than ever, not just in sound but in the way they tell stories. While rooted in their trademark funk pop style, Love On Loop explores new genres and moods, capturing the fun, longing, hurt, and unforgettable moments that come with love.
To mark the release, the band will host an official Spotify Listening Party on August 15 at 8:00 PM (Philippine Time). The event marks a milestone for the band as they become only the second OPM artist to be featured in the platform’s interactive in-app experience, joining listeners from all over the world in real time as they play through the album and share stories behind each song.
The celebrations continue with Love On Loop The Album Concert, a special concert on September 12 at One Ayala, giving fans the full album experience alongside Lola Amour’s biggest hits. Tickets are available via https://lolaamour.helixpay.ph/https://lolaamour.helixpay.ph/

With a string of exciting promotional activities and fan engagements, Lola Amour has been making waves both online and on the ground. To celebrate the release of their sophomore album Love on Loop, the band lit up a billboard in New York’s iconic Times Square, a moment that highlighted just how far their music has reached.
On August 15, the band marked their album release day with a special Spotify Listening Party, becoming only the second OPM act to host the feature after SB19. Fans tuned in to listen to the record in full while the band shared stories and insights behind the tracks. To make the experience even more special, Lola Amour gave away tickets to their highly anticipated concert happening on September 12.
Additionally, Lola Amour has been surprising students across Metro Manila with a series of pop up busking shows. They have performed in front of crowds of 300 to 500 students per stop, starting at NU Nazareth on August 1, followed by PLM on August 7, UP Diliman on August 11, and PSHS on August 15. The series of surprise shows will continue until the end of the month, bringing their music directly to the youth that has championed them since the very beginning.
The band has also launched Relapse Freedom Walls across key student areas, including Esteban Abada in Quezon City, Lerma Street in Manila, and Dagonoy Street in Malate, Manila. These interactive walls invite fans to express their thoughts and emotions, drawing in hundreds of participants who connect with the themes of the focus track for Love on Loop “With You.” Many wrote down stories and confessions such as “Bakit ka pa kumapit kung bibitawan ka lang?”, “Minumulto pa ako nung una ko siyang nakilala,” and “Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay di mawawala”, real and raw sentiments that reflect the song’s emotions.
