In just two weeks, Filipino fans will experience the biggest music event of the year: Ed Sheeran’s “+ – = í· x Tour” in Manila on March 9 at SMDC Festival Grounds in Paranaque.
Joining Sheeran are Calum Scott and OPM sensation Ben&Ben. Additional seats, including a new General Admission (Cat 😎 Section, have been added due to high demand.
Ben&Ben, the illustrious nine-piece Filipino indie folk-pop ensemble, features twin brothers Miguel Benjamin and Paolo Benjamin on acoustic guitars and vocals, along with Poch Barretto on electric guitar, Keifer Cabugao on violin, Andrew De Pano and Toni Munoz on percussion, Pat Lasaten on keyboards, Agnes Reoma on bass, and Jam Villanueva on drums. Renowned for their soul-stirring tracks like “Leaves,” “Make It With You,” “Panindigan Kita,” “Maybe The Night,” and “Pagtingin,” the band has amassed a number of accolades, including an Asia Artist Award, an Aliw Award, an NME Award, two Myx Music Awards, and an impressive 16 Awit Awards. In addition, their chart-topping success has been recognized globally, with a notable placement on the Billboard Social Top 50 Chart in 2020 and they have been hailed as the most-streamed Filipino artist of all time on Spotify, boasting over two billion streams.
Ben&Ben’s monumental Homecoming Concert in 2022, organized by Ovation Productions, drew an astounding crowd of 65,000 fervent fans, a testament to their meteoric rise to stardom. Held at the expansive outdoor SMDC Festival Grounds, the very venue that will host Ed Sheeran’s monumental tour in March, the event showcased the band’s unwavering popularity and immense appeal.
