It's Me, Gracee: Concerts

Pamungkas and Scrubb join forces to co-headline Philippine-only concert

#GNN10 Presents: Pamungkas and Scrubb Live in Manila Sunday, March 16, 2025

GNN marks its tenth-year anniversary of producing shows and concerts with a one-day music event top-billed by Pamungkas from Indonesia and Scrubb from Thailand.

#GNN10 Presents: Pamungkas and Scrubb Live in Manila will take place on April 26, 2025, at 123 Block in Mandala Park, Mandaluyong City. The exclusive, co-headline show is a Philippine-only engagement and will form a key part of #GNN10, a year-long music campaign. This project kicked off with a string of sold-out shows earlier this year, including Regina Song: Live in Manila and Tanaw: The Repeat at Newport Performing Arts Theater.

The inaugural celebration not only commemorates the production company’s commitment to championing local and Asian artists but also reaffirms its mission of mounting concerts and events rooted in community building and inclusivity.

Having earned iconic status in their respective countries and throughout Southeast Asia, Pamungkas and Scrubb have cultivated a dedicated fanbase in the Philippines with their inescapable anthems. Indonesian singer-songwriter and producer Pamungkas became a regional sensation with his breakout hit, “To The Bone,” which topped streaming charts across Southeast Asian countries, including the Philippines, where it peaked at No. 5 on Spotify PH charts. Meanwhile, phenomenal Thai alt-pop duo Scrubb captivated global audiences with their enormous contributions to the official soundtrack of 2gether The Series, the biggest Boy’s Love hit to ever come out of the region.

GNN brought both artists in 2022 and 2024, respectively, introducing them to the Philippine market through separate headline shows.

“We are incredibly excited to bring Pamungkas and Scrubb back to the Philippine stage,” shares GNN Creative Director Marie Lara Pauline Bobier in an official press statement. “This anniversary celebration marks an important milestone for me, Ian, and Milley, and reflects how far we’ve come from our humble beginnings. It is a testament to our younger selves that passion, dedication, and perseverance pay off. We started with nothing—personally cutting tickets, selling them through meet-ups with strangers, carrying our extension cords and electric kettles to gigs and concerts—all while holding onto our day jobs.”

Bobier continues, “GNN has never been just about numbers; it has grown through shared experiences and memories. Our artists, gig and concertgoers, and dedicated production team have created moments that will last a lifetime. GNN has always been, and will always be, for those who live and breathe entertainment. We are truly grateful that, through our company, we have the privilege of bringing together the artists we admire with the fans who love them just as much.”

Tickets to #GNN10 Presents: Pamungkas and Scrubb Live in Manila are available on March 14, 2025, 12 noon via https://scrubbpamungkas.helixpay.ph.

Ed Sheeran Live in Manila: November 7, 2017 MOA Concert Grounds

2017 Concerts in Manila Friday, June 09, 2017

AEG Presents and Ovation Productions are excited to announce that celebrated singer songwriter Ed Sheeran is bringing his highly anticipated World Tour to Manila on 7 November 2017 at the MOA Concert Grounds. Tickets for the show priced at P13040, 11450, 8290, 4060, 3010, 1950 will be sold starting 10 June 2017 at www.smtickets.com.

The touring news comes straight off the back of a phenomenal few weeks for 26-year-old Ed Sheeran. Kicking-off music in 2017 and delivering the biggest musical comeback in recent years, Ed’s dual singles “Shape Of You” and “Castle On The Hill” have taken the globe by storm, hitting the #1 and #2 spots across the charts worldwide while seeing the Suffolk native break a magnitude of records along the way.

On course to cement his third week at #1 & #2 respectively in the UK’s Official Singles Chart tomorrow [Ed made OCC history as the first-ever artist to land the two spots respectively with two brand new tracks], Ed recently conquered more milestones in the USA after landing his first-ever #1 as a performer on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Shape Of You" - with "Castle On The Hill" sitting closely behind at #6 on the chart, Ed also became the first artist to debut in Billboard's 'Top 10' with two songs simultaneously.

Not to mention the huge assortment of Spotify records broken by the troubadour this month, making history with their biggest-ever ‘one week’ and ‘one day’ streams for a track, globally with “Shape Of You” (the records were previously held by Drake’s “One Dance” and Adele’s “Hello”, respectively). Moreover, Ed topped the streaming service’s biggest-ever opening 24 hour streams with both singles, surpassing previous title holders, One Direction.

Reaching 132 combined #1 iTunes positions around the world and accomplishing Apple Music’s biggest-ever ‘day’ and ‘one week’ streams, the two singles have accumulated over 370 MILLION worldwide streams to date. Launched on Monday, Ed’s official video for “Castle On The Hill”, which was shot in his native Framlingham, Suffolk, has already reached over 10 million hits!

In addition to Ed’s epic rise with his recorded music, the Suffolk-born artist has also broken records in the live sphere over recent years.

In July 2015 Ed took to the stage of Wembley Stadium, solo, becoming the first-ever artist to headline the prestigious venue without a band - with just his trademark loop pedal and guitar – seeing him play to 240,000 people over three consecutive sold-out nights! Securing a very special collaboration with Sir Elton John on the opening night, Ed followed with the release of his live DVD ‘Jumpers for Goalposts’ at the end of 2015, documenting the lead-up and live performances from the Wembley weekend. Moreover, not only has Ed caught the headlines with his phenomenal solo concerts, he's also been involved in an array of spellbinding collaborative performances over his career to date, further proving his colossal status in the musical world - in 2012, Ed performed at the London Olympics' closing ceremony alongside members of Pink Floyd and Genesis for a very special version of "Wish You Were Here" and in 2015, Ed shared the stage with Beyonce and Gary Clark Jr. at that year's Grammy tribute for Stevie Wonder.

Ed Sheeran’s genre-defying third studio album ÷ (divide) was released on 3rd March through Asylum/Atlantic Records (available now).

Daniel Padilla MOST WANTED Concert on June 13 at Mall of Asia Arena

Concerts Monday, June 08, 2015

After the phoenomenal success of Daniel Padilla's birthday concert last year, Philippine showbiz's teen king and Star Music's multi-platinum selling recording artist is pulling out all the stops as he performs live on JUNE 13 in his third major concert dubbed as "DANIEL MOST WANTED" at the MALL OF ASIA ARENA.

During his grand presscon held at Dong Juan at Mother Ignacia Quezon City, Daniel expressed his feelings about this upcoming concert. Although he is thrilled to perform again to his loyal supporters, he is also a bit nervous and pressured because he really needs to rehearse for this concert but since he's busy with commitments, he'll do his best to make this concert really worth while to everyone who'll come.

Packed with surprises and special guests, the concert will showcase Daniel at his best as he serenades the crowd with classics like Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly with Me", James Taylor's "How Sweet it is (To be loved by you), and Stevie Wonder's "Knocks Me Off my Feet".

Daniel will also have an amazing line up on his "Most Wanted" concert: Gary Valenciano, Edgar Allan Guzman, Nyoy Volante, KZ, Morissette Amon, Harana, and Kyla!

When asked if Kathryn Bernardo will do a surprise number for him, Daniel just smiled and said that Kathryn just wanted to watch the whole concert as a regular audience so that she can enjoy the concert. He was also asked what song he will dedicate to Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel quickly said "Morning Girl"! Daniel added that this concert is different with his previous concert. This one is more mature and with more depth.

Produced by ABS-CBN Integrated Events and Star Events, the ticket prices for DANIEL MOST WANTED are as follows: Php 3, 710 for VIP, Php 2, 970 for Patron, Php 1, 590 for lower box A, Php 795 for lower box B, Php 530 for upper box and Php 375 for general admission.

Fans who are not able to go to the venue may watch the concert via live feed in SM Cinemas in Davao, Cebu, Iloilo, Cabantuan, Dasmarinas, Pampanga, and Legazpi. They can also experience the concert right at the comfort of their own homes by availing of Sky Cable's live pay per view in Matero Manila, Laguna, Rizal, Bacolod, Dumaguete at General Santos City.

Check out the videos during the grand presscon:

Tickets can now be purchased at the Mall of Asia Arena office and SM Tickets and SM Cinema outlets nationwide. Ticket buyers may also call the SM Cinema hotline 470-2222.

Repertory Philippines launches Run For Your Wife

Concerts Monday, March 30, 2015

As part of its 2015 lineup, Repertory Philippines launches Run For Your Wife, a sexy comedy written by Ray Cooney. Since its launch in 1983 at London’s West End, it had a successful nine year run in the UK. After that, the show has been staged most notably in New York, Paris, Stockholm, and Manila.

Run For Your Wife trails John Smith, a taxi driver in London who has two wives: one in Streatham and another in Wimbledon. After he gets mugged and winds up in the hospital, the police department from each district calls Mrs. Smith: Mary Smith and Barbara Smith.

The show has been praised for its hilarious storyline, complex choreography, and impeccable timing. The Daily Telegraph called it a triumph, while the New York Post promised “virtually continuous laughter.”

Repertory’s production of Run For Your Wife is the third time the company has staged the show, the first in 1986, and the second in 2001. Miguel Faustmann, the taxi driver in the first two runs, returns as the director of this exciting play.

“Even if it’s an old play, it’s such a funny and well-written play,” said Faustmann. “Let’s just have a good time laughing because it’s better to laugh than to feel angry or sad. Humor, as they say, is the best medicine, right?”

Besides the biting wit of the script, one of the fun things to take note of for Run For Your Wife is the intricate blocking and choreography for the actors. The play relies on missed connections, or a precise schedule of entrances and exits, with one stage sharing the two homes of both wives.

Theater veteran Jamie Wilson plays John Smith, a physically demanding role that would literally see him running across the stage throughout the entire show, with only two exits.

“My challenge here is to get everything so linear. I should be confused as John Smith but not as Jamie Wilson,” he shared. “I’m literally running the whole time, answering phone calls, lying, and fabricating stories. I have to keep my secret from coming out. It’s exhausting but fun.”

He is joined by Goldie Soon, who plays the motherly wife Mary, and Mikkie Bradshaw, who plays the bombshell wife, Barbara. Rounding out the cast are Jeremy Domingo as John’s best friend Stanley Gardner, Steven Conde as the flamboyantly gay neighbor Bobby Franklin, James Stacy as the suspicious Detective Sergeant Troughton, Paul Holme as the easygoing Detective Sergeant Porterhouse, and Mara Javier as the inquisitive journalist.

The humor is distinctly British, but the cast and director believe that the premise of having two wives is a universal concept.

“It’s not accepted here but it’s done,” Wilson shared. “Remember the humor in it, not the taboo. Run For Your Wife shows the humor of this ridiculous situation. You could put the same situation, take all the humor out of it and be a heavy drama like a typical Filipino teleserye. But nobody has shown the humor in it. And this is what it’s showing.”

Run For Your Wife will be staged from April 10 to May 3, 2015 at Onstage Theater in Greenbelt 1, Makati City. Ticket prices ranges from P400 to P800. For more details regarding Run For Your Wife, call Repertory Philippines at 843-3570 and book tickets through TicketWorld at 891-9999 or visit their website at www.ticketworld.com.ph.

ULTIMATE Concert: Martin, Regine, Gary and Lani on February 13-14 at SM Mall of Asia Arena

Concerts Wednesday, February 04, 2015

The Asia’s Songbird, Mr. Pure Energy, Asia’s Nightingale and the Concert King join forces on February 13 and 14 at the Mall of Asia Arena to serenade their fans and music enthusiasts to celebrate Valentine’s day.

Both Martin and Regine said that they are very excited about this concert because sharing the stage with other powerhouse performers is a memorable experience, not only that, they are all good friends which made it more easier for them to collaborate more about the concert.

For a two day concert, this is their perfect gift to everyone who missed seeing their idols on stage. A Valentines Day treat indeed for those who are still looking for that perfect date for their love ones. What can be more romantic that hear these amazing performers serenade you on Valentines Day?

Regine Velasquez Alcasid mentioned that she loves working with Martin because he is a funny person and you will never run out of things to talk about, almost anything under the sun. Martin even revealed that he used to have a crush on Regine before. Regine made it clear that even before, she doesn't see "upcoming new artists" to be a threat to her career, in fact, she even want to share some tips on how to stay longer in the business. Given the chance, she would love to collaborate with them too.

Regine is also aware about the comparison between her and Lani Misalucha and she said, even though they almost have the same songs that they can sing, they are still two different performers.

With each having her own strengths and following, Regine said, “Hindi ako na-i-insecure kasi God gave me this talent, and ito ’yung para sa’kin, and (iba) naman binigay kay Lani… Kasi we are all created differently, but we are all given wonderful gifts to share with other people.”

For their upcoming concert, Regine said, “Hopefully lahat (ng kanya kanyang followers namin) pumunta (at pati ang mga) concertgoers lang talaga, (‘yung) hindi naman sila fan ng particular artist.”

When asked if she will be doing a teleserye or movie soon, she answered, "Why not? given the right project I will definitely love to go back." Teased if she wanted to work with much younger artists and be paired with them, she answered, "Ano title? Love ko si Tyang?". We all laughed in the table. We all missed Regine doing movies and Teleseryes, hopefully we can see more of her on the big screen.

Martin admitted that even though he's been in the business for quite some time now, he still feels the need to please his audience 100% because he knows they expect a lot from him. The country's prime balladeer always gives his best in every concert or show he performs and in the ULTIMATE concert, you can expect nothing less.

Martin added that he feels “intimidated” performing alongside established singers he admires, including Regine Velasquez, Lani Misalucha and Gary Valenciano, his co-performers in the upcoming ULTIMATE concert.

“To sing with the likes of Lani and Regine, (I) really need to level up to reach their performance level, their range, to the vocal calisthenics that they do,” he said. “When the two of them guested in one of my shows, they received a standing ovation, and I don’t…”

Martin said, “I won’t try to sound like Lani and Regine but I have to be at par with them, otherwise I don’t make our (duets) sound good.”

Martin sees “ULTIMATE” as a show where they are “equal” on stage. “We won’t compete with (each other),” he said. “Ang gagawin namin sana ay most of the songs ay may vocal harmony. Maraming elements around us, may vocal coaches, may musical director, that will hopefully make this a show really worth watching.”
