Japanese boy group BE:FIRST is officially bringing their highly anticipated world showcase tour to the Philippines this year, with Manila confirmed as one of the key stops for the BE:FIRST WORLD SHOWCASE 2026.

The six-member act will perform on October 3, 2026 at the New Frontier Theater as part of the group’s first large-scale international showcase run across Asia and North America. The Manila stop follows performances in Bangkok and Taipei before the group heads to New York later in October.

Fans in the Philippines can expect a live set featuring tracks from the group’s recently released digi-pack BE:FIRST ALL DAY, which includes the songs “BE:FIRST ALL DAY” and “Rondo.” The showcase also arrives during a milestone year for the group as they celebrate their fifth anniversary in the music industry.

The announcement comes after a series of major career achievements for BE:FIRST, including their first-ever stadium concerts at Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo held on May 16 and 17. The group is also set to open for Janet Jackson in Tokyo this June.

Reflecting on their growing global reach, member Manato shared his excitement about continuing to perform internationally following their previous world tour.

“For many listeners outside Japan, it may be their first time seeing us live, so I hope we can show an even more evolved version of the six of us,” he said.

Presale access for the Manila show will be available exclusively to Live Nation Philippines members on May 28 from 12 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. General ticket sales will begin on May 29 at 12 p.m. through TicketNet Philippines and its outlets.

The BE:FIRST WORLD SHOWCASE 2026 marks another major step in the group’s expanding international presence as they continue introducing their music and performances to audiences around the world.
