Tweet

The nine-piece collective aims to revolutionize headline shows with an innovative mix of animation, film, and music performances

Filipino band Ben&Ben are set to redefine the live concert experience with an audio-visual extravaganza that seamlessly blends animation, film, and music performances into one immersive package. Their upcoming arena show, scheduled for December 14, 2024, at SM Mall of Asia Arena, produced by Ovation Productions promises to be a groundbreaking event in the local music scene.

Inspired by their highly anticipated third studio album, The Traveller Across Dimensions, the concert will introduce a new dimension of storytelling, combining live music with cutting-edge multimedia elements. The upcoming album, which pushes the boundaries of traditional music releases, will serve as the foundation for this innovative concert, thematically and conceptually speaking.

Ben&Ben have partnered with a talented team of concert directors, designers, and multimedia artists to create an animation-concert hybrid that will transport the concert-going audience into a magical, world-building realm. Working alongside Puppeteer Studios, the Pagtingin hitmakers will also introduce a cast of unique characters and an immersive universe that promise to captivate the audience from start to finish.

“We’re thrilled to share the story of Liwanag, the titular character in The Traveller Across Dimensions,” the nine-piece act explains in a collective statement. “We’ve shown a glimpse of this story in our “Triumph” music video, but the concert will reveal the full narrative in a way that no one has seen before.”

This special concert is designed to exude a cinematic experience, integrating the excitement of a live performance with the confines of filmmaking. Ben&Ben’s The Traveller Across Dimensions concert aims to elevate the theatricality of their previous shows, hinting at exploring new, interactive technology to further enhance the show.

“It’s also the first time we will be incorporating Liwanag LED wristbands as part of the immersive experience,” the critically acclaimed act shares. “We are working with Pixmob, the same tech provider as some of the international concerts we’ve attended in the past.”

In terms of the set list, the concert will feature a dynamic mix of crowd favorites, personal picks, and new songs from their latest album. In keeping up with their signature style, Ben&Ben have meticulously arranged the lineup of songs to align with the overarching narrative. This helps in bringing an integrated storytelling experience to the live stage.

“It’s a delicate balance between staying true to what fans love and offering something new,” the band adds. “We’re excited to bring these songs to life in a way that’s never been done before.”

Living high and living it up in Altafina by Vista Land

South Cotabato: Here, bounty and beauty come together

Perched majestically on the coastline that hugs Sarangani Bay, General Santos City, the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, exudes a more dynamic and progressive vibe. With an economy anchored primarily on the agriculture and fishing industries, GenSan, as it is affectionately called, also covers much ground in tourism. The land formerly known as Dadiangas, and now named for General Paulino Santos, who brought over Christians from Luzon and the Visayas to settle in the area, boasts the largest airport in Mindanao as well as the Makar Wharf, one of the country's most modern international seaports.

The city also earned itself the nickname Boom City of the South, owing to its vast exports and the influx of manufacturing and business process outsourcing (BPO) firms. But despite the dynamic and future-think reputation, GenSan is loved for its many festivals that parade pride in their art and traditions and for some of the most exquisite scenery and beaches in the country.

In honor of the coastal location of GenSan, Vista Land, through its collection of master planned communities called Vista Estates, is constructing a micro city inspired by the sun-soaked outlook and inclination of America's Finest City, San Diego, California. The striking similarities between these dynamic cities lend themselves to the master planning of a vibrant estate development in Southern Mindanao.

San Diego hugs the Pacific Ocean, while GenSan borders the picturesque Sarangani Bay. Both cities enjoy year-round warm weather and have flourishing fishing industries. They are also popular tourist destinations, offering incredible scenic beauty and recreational activities. San Diego is renowned for its beaches, parks, and museums, while GenSan is famous for white sand beaches, waterfalls, dive sites, and natural attractions. Interestingly, San Diego is known as the Tuna Capital of the World.

Altafina features a selection of residential possibilities, office spaces, soothing open parks, landscaped walkways and avenues, and commercial centers.

Enjoy the exhilaration of San Diego in Altafina

Altafina is a portmanteau of alta, meaning high, and fina, meaning fine. The name calls to mind images of living high and living it up. It exudes the joy and fearlessness that the metropolis is designed to capture––and offers its residents and visitors. The shopping in Altafina will measure up to GenSan's reputation as a top shopping hub. Naturally, amazing food and beverage choices follow. The estate is inspired by the dynamic groove the beach town of San Diego radiates alongside amenities and today's smart building technology.

As San Diego and GenSan are proud of the diversity of the cultures, adventures, and opportunities they play host to, Altafina features a selection of residential possibilities, building architecture, and public space design. There will be office spaces, soothing open parks, landscaped walkways and avenues, and commercial centers.

Altafina’s initial offering, Altafina Residences, features vertical abodes for families, professionals, or those who prefer to live near places of work.

Condominium complexes and neighborly horizontal communities will dot the development. Its first offering, Altafina Residences, features vertical abodes for families, professionals, or those who prefer to live near places of work. Rising seven to 12 storeys per tower creates medium densities, allowing for privacy and breathing space. Each tower provides a selection of one—and two-bedroom residences equipped with smart technology and security and safety features. In Altafina, the options are as diverse, attractive, and exciting as San Diego and GenSan have always been.

Vista Land: Pioneering excellence in property development

As the holding company of the housing ventures of Vista Group, Vista Land is primarily engaged in developing horizontal properties, master-planned communities, and the construction of vertical residences in the Philippines' key growth areas.

Altafina is a portmanteau of alta, meaning high, and fina, meaning fine. The name calls to mind images of living high and living it up.

Vista Land is constructing a micro city inspired by the sun-soaked outlook and inclination of America's Finest City, San Diego, California.

Filipinos deserve the best—this driving belief has been integral to Vista Land and its day-to-day operations and is the secret to its success. Creating better, expansive, and global-oriented offerings and experiences for its residents, as well as delivering excellent long-term investment growth for its stakeholders, has always been the impetus behind the conglomerate's continuous evolution.
