This high-voltage celebration of Original Pilipino Music will feature an all-star band—Nato Buzon (bass), Jun Vidal (drums), Joshua Tamayo and Daniel Yap (keyboards)—and a stellar roster of special guest artists, including four members of The Vocal Groove Collective (Rodney Ronquillo, Chyrell Ronquillo, Pabs Quiogue and Bevs Saraza), plus Alyssa Grace, Tess Panaligan, Rhett Dela Cruz, and Pitch Perfect Academy.
Get ready for a setlist stacked with OPM gold: Pers Lab, Ikaw ang Miss Universe ng Buhay Ko, Pag Tumatagal, Lalong Tumitibay, Annie Batungbakal, and more. These aren’t just songs—they’re pulse-raising, crowd-moving, sing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs anthems.
Every seat is a front-row experience. Every song is a memory in the making.
