    Ashtine Olviga to Hold First Major Solo Concert “Love Like Ashtine”

    Ashtine Olviga Announces First Solo Concert “Love Like Ashtine” at New Frontier Theater, Alongside New Fragrance and Mini Album

    Filipino singer-actress Ashtine Olviga is celebrating a new milestone in her solo career with the announcement of her first major solo concert, Love Like Ashtine, to take place on August 22, 2026, at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City.

    The big reveal came at a recent press conference, which also doubled as an early birthday celebration for her. Born May 19, the multi-talented artist celebrated the milestone early and updated her on her thriving ventures. Fans will be treated to the unforgettable night of her vocals, flawless moves, and signature all-around artistry that has mesmerized audiences from her P-pop beginnings to her breakout acting roles.

    Adding to the celebratory vibe, Ashtine unveiled her new fragrance in partnership with Viva Beauty. Dubbed Dear Ash, the scent captures her essence, soft, radiant, sweet, juicy, and confidently captivating. It’s designed to be versatile and lingering, much like the artist herself.

    The singer also teased a mini album to come soon, building excitement following the release of her debut single Love Like U. This project promises to reveal more dimensions of her artistry as she continues to evolve past her group stints with UGG, P-Pop Generation, LITZ, and her recent acting stint in Ang Mutya ng Section E.

    When asked about the genres she wants to explore for her mini-album, she revealed that she’s going for pop, dance-pop, ballad-pop, and ballads. She wants to try out different genres and styles.

    She also said she looks up to Sabrina Carpenter (who recently headlined Coachella), Taylor Swift, and Olivia Rodrigo. “Uy, bakit hindi ko subukan din magsulat?” she said, saying these artists inspire her to write music.

    As a multimedia artist, she shared how she balances her craft as an actress, singer, and performer: “Iba’t iba ang strengths ko sa acting, singing, and dancing. I feel like I still need to improve my singing and dancing. You need to have the willingness to learn and grow, so pag mag perperform ka na, mabibigay mo yung 100%.”

    She also said she would like to show her skills in rapping, dancing, and singing and her journey as an artist in her upcoming solo concert.

    It’s fair to say Ashtine is still growing as a vocalist, with room to develop her technique, range, and emotional depth, but that very journey is part of what makes her compelling. She’s not pretending to be a finished product; she’s an artist in progress, learning and growing in real time. In an industry where much of the music is concealed behind layers of production, she deserves genuine respect for her willingness to present herself in a raw and unfiltered manner.

    But what sets Ashtine apart is her dedication to being authentic. I have seen her perform live on stage many times, and each of those performances highlighted her impressive live vocals; she delivers with raw vocals and her signature sweet tone, without heavy autotune or lip-syncing. She shows up ready to sing live.

    Ashtine Olviga is best known for being humble and grounded. While her popularity is on the rise and there is a buzz about her projects, she is refreshingly down-to-earth. She admits she still rides public transport like the MRT, a testament to her genuine connection with her roots and her fans. “Tratuhin ko ng tama at pantay pantay ang mga tao no matter how big or small sila,” she added.

    Going to the press conference gave a glimpse into the person behind the performances. Ashtine is one of a kind, a true all-rounder. You can see in everything she does a true warmth, resilience, and love for her craft. In an industry often defined by glitz and glamour, her relatability makes her all the more endearing and inspirational.

    Here’s to the artists who keep it real. Ashtine Olviga might still be honing her craft, but her refusal to hide behind autotune or lipsync is something to applaud loudly. She’s not only doing a real performance; she’s also being herself. Keep singing your truth, Ashtine. Your audience is here for the ride, and the best is yet to come.

    Love Like Ashtine tickets go on sale on TicketNet beginning May 15, 2026. This concert is expected to be a defining moment for the “Nation’s Mutya,” a celebration of her journey, her music, and the love she shares with her supporters.

    Mark your calendars for an evening of pure talent and heartfelt moments with Ashtine Olviga on Aug 22. Whether you love her voice, her acting, her new scent, or just her inspirational presence, you won’t want to miss this event.

  • The Vamps Thrilled Manila

    The Vamps Thrilled Manila

    British pop band, The Vamps took the lead in the second leg of British Invasion in Manila last February 1 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Massive fans outside the venue lined up to see James, Connor, Tristan and Bradley for the first time. The entire arena was packed and the atmosphere was unbelievable. In a short period of time, The Vamps have built a strong and devoted fan base, judging by the ecstatic reception they received during their show in Manila.

    The Vamps Live in Manila

    When The Vamps stepped onto the stage, the crowd went wild! The lights flashed and everyone screamed. They started their set with one of their first hits, “Wild Heart” as thousands of screaming girls hyperventilated upon seeing these lads in flesh for the first time. Then they performed “Girls on TV”, their second song of the night. They kept up the excitement throughout the set, even throwing in a cover of Bruno Mars’ “Locked Out of Heaven”, Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble” and Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ “Can’t Hold Us”. It was a sing along moment when they performed “Somebody To You” and “Oh Cecilia”, both songs reached the top spot in our country for weeks.

    The Vamps proved how talented they are with their stage presence, but also switching instruments to cover punk rock songs such as “Teenager” and “Dear Maria, Count Me In”. We also enjoyed Brad on drums at some point during the show. The Vamps were just entertaining throughout their set with unstoppable energy. All members of The Vamps had their own moment by going solo, they all stepped out and did their own thing.

    After the 12-song set, the lights on stage went out and The Vampettes were chanting for more. The energy of the audience was just as electric as it was when they played the first chord of their first song. It was another deafening moment when they came back to perform “Risk It All” with the Philippine flag on the huge screen. The Vamps saved the best for last with one of the songs that made them popular worldwide, “Can We Dance”. I saw a few ones crying while singing out this song. They knew that would be the final song of the night and it was really hard to say their goodbyes. The Vamps thanked all the supporters and looking forward to see the same reception for their return next year.

    What I like about this band is they co-write their songs with pop rock vibe, stories about teens plus easy to relate lyrics and catchy melodies, such an incredible talent for a young band. The Vamps’ tracks are so upbeat and you can dance along to their music and you wouldn’t even be scared to dance at all even if you’re on your seat or up on your feet.

    Their world tour “Meet The Vamps” lived it up to its title as these lads took all the ways to meet their fans. The band grabbed the chance to go outside MOA Arena to meet their fans before taking the stage. The boys had a coffee, meet and greet in Starbucks. They also went to Glorietta for a CD signing session and explored our capital city. I’m looking forward that The Vamps will make a move to reinvent their music, but their energy, hormone-driven appeal, passion and cute faces make them a professional band that every generation deserves.

  • The 1975 Plays Their Hearts Out in Manila

    The 1975 Plays Their Hearts Out in Manila

    British indie-rock band The 1975 played their first arena show last January 24, 2015 at Mall of Asia Arena, the first act from MMI Live’s British Invasion Concert Series.

    The 1975 Live at Mall of Asia Arena

    Released in September 2013, the self-titled debut from the Manchester boys—whose sound does nothing to represent the 1970s—produced a handful of radio-friendly hits with “Chocolate,” “Settled Down” “Sex” “Heart Out” and “Girls.” To be honest, their music made me appreciate indie-rock and synth-pop. They have the perfect young alternative rock feel. They’ve been a band for a decade, but they broke out to the mainstream only last year. They caught my attention because they know how to create distinctive music with catchy lyrics and danceable melodies.
