The Filipino alt-pop band will treat fans to a career-spanning setlist and never-before-heard songs

Filipino alternative-pop band Gracenote will be taking the center stage for their solo concert titled Walang Makakapigil, happening on September 6, 2025, at Teatrino, Promenade in Greenhills, San Juan City.

Presented by Soupstar Music, in partnership with Redlines Productions, EMI Records Philippines, and UMG Philippines, the concert will showcase some of the pop-rock quartet’s most memorable hits, along with their hidden gems and brand-new songs, all in one exciting night.

Walang Makakapigil stands as a powerful testament to the band’s resilience, passion, and enduring presence. It’s an inspiring response to the challenges that they have faced and overcome throughout more than 15 years together.

“As individuals and as a band, we never let setbacks stop us. We picked up lessons along the way, and those experiences made us stronger. Until now, walang makakapigil sa amin.”

Rising indie act Hey June! will join as a special guest, bringing youthful energy to the show.

After more than a decade in the music industry, Gracenote believes that the timing is perfect.

“We’ve been a band for over a decade, and we wanted to celebrate that milestone with a show that captures who we are,” the band shares in a collective statement. “Walang Makakapigil reflects the way we have always moved through the industry, doing our own thing. We spent many years as an indie band under Soupstar Music, and when EMI Records, our major label, joined us, it opened up more possibilities to make this concert happen. The timing was perfect, and this celebration feels not just special but meant to be.”

Ebe Dancel returns with 20-piece orchestra for 25th anniversary concert

The iconic singer-songwriter brings timeless hits and new songs to life with The Manila String Machine in a monumental repeat concert directed by Paolo Valenciano

Good news for OPM fans: acclaimed singer-songwriter Ebe Dancel returns to the big stage with another major solo concert.

Titled Ebe Dancel with The Manila String Machine: The Repeat Concert, the highly anticipated eve will take place on November 15, 2025, at the New Frontier Theater.nt

Following the success of his sold-out first run, Dancel celebrates his 25th year in music with a night of timeless songwriting, powerful storytelling, and sweeping orchestral arrangements that breathe new life into his storied catalog.

For the second staging of his monumental concert, Ebe will be joined by a 20-piece orchestra led by Chino David, with Paolo Valenciano directing the whole show. The concert promises to be a showcase of his legacy both as a solo artist and as the lead singer/principal songwriter behind pop-rock powerhouse Sugarfree.

“I’ve had a long love affair with orchestras, dating back to my days with Sugarfree,” Dancel shares. “As a solo performer, I did a show with the Manila String Machine exactly two weeks before our government announced the lockdown due to Covid. To be back onstage with them now, with fans in front of me, feels like a full circle moment.”

The setlist, he reveals, will strike a careful balance between nostalgia and discovery. “I want it to be a mix of old and newer songs. I thought of my audience mainly when I chose songs from the Sugarfree catalog, but I also want them to experience the new songs with an orchestra.”

The repeat concert also is Ebe’s way of deepening his connections further with trusted collaborators. “Paolo [Valenciano] is a dear friend. I have so much respect for him as a concert director, so he was my only choice to do this show again. For me to work on something this big, I need to be able to fully trust the guys running the show. Hence Paolo Valenciano, and as musical director, Chino David.”

Tickets for Ebe Dancel with The Machine String Machine: The Repeat Concert go on sale this August 30, 2025, at 12 pm via Ticketnet online and all authorized Ticketnet outlets nationwide.

Ebe Dancel stands as one of OPM’s most enduring voices. From his early days as frontman of Sugarfree to his acclaimed solo career, he has built a body of work defined by sincerity, emotional depth, and artistry. With multiple hit songs, award-winning albums, and sold-out shows, his legacy continues to inspire generations of listeners—young and old, and everything in between.

 

 

Dilaw takes us on a journey through heartbreaks, growth, and life with first full-length album, ‘RARARA’

Tweet

After months of radio silence, Uhaw-hit makers Dilaw are back with their first-ever full-length album. Entitled RARARA, a play on the Filipino word tara, which means “let’s go”, the 10-track album is set to arrive on September 5, 2025. Select loyal fans of Dilaw were given an incredible opportunity to hear the full album, which the band played live for the first time to a public audience in their hometown of Baguio, last August 9, 2025.

LISTEN TO BLACK N’ WHITE

Pre-save RARARA Abum now!

Last March, the band released FLYING KISS, a song that reflects how some breakups can be peaceful, a calm break up anthem. The release of the song and the sudden radio silence created speculations and buzz among fans about what was happening with the band. Marking their return was the release of their follow up single last August 8. BLACK N’ WHITE tells the story of a monotonous world transforming into vibrant colors by someone special–only to realize it was just all a daydream during a road trip.

RARARA is the band’s storytelling of their journey through the highs and lows of life, a story of perseverance, growth, and finding strength in the pursuit of happiness. From the spontaneity of new adventures in SEYP to the quiet introspection in ! (TANDANG PADAMDAM), each track invites listeners to embrace the unexpected and find beauty in life’s unpredictability. Through heartbreaks in IKAW AT AKO AY and the realization of self-worth in ALL IN, the album highlights the importance of letting go and moving forward, reminding us that true healing comes from within. Shaped by heartbreaks and driven by their determination to overcome life’s challenges, Dilaw is taking us on a musical journey about learning, reflecting, growing, and celebrating the different paths taken, the lessons learned, and the people you meet along the way.

“Yes! May album na kami!” - Dilaw

With a desire to return to their roots, the album was written and produced in Baguio, where the band originated. The album not only reflects the origins of their musicality, but the accompanying creative photos and music videos will make you want to hop in your car and drive to enjoy the sights and sounds of cool and bustling Baguio.

Dilaw is set to have their first album concert on September 6, 2025, at Soundcheck Studios, Pasig. With opening acts like Novocrane, Kenaniah, and Kamikazee, fans are guaranteed to experience an incredible ride. Tickets are now available on https://www.xperto.live/events/dilaw-sa-pasig-sa-may-soundcheck-studios. The album concert will also serve as the kick-off for their upcoming album tour.

Dilaw has a lot in store for everyone in the coming weeks, so pack your bags, start the car, and get ready to play the ultimate road trip soundtrack.

David Archuleta marks a bold and confident new chapter with EP Earthly Delights

Tweet

American singer-songwriter David Archuleta marks a bold and confident new chapter with EP Earthly Delights. Basking in the worldwide success of his hit single, ‘Crème Brûlée’ and follow-up single, ‘Can I Call You’, David is now ready to share more from his first collection of new music in over five years in Earthly Delights. 

Earthly Delights Track List 

1. Give You The World

2. Crème Brûlée

3. Can I Call You

4. Lucky

5. Home

6. Dulce Amor

On more about Earthly Delights, David shares, “I’m in my indulgence mode when it comes to giving into my sensuality. Something I always villainized before. There’s something sweet about being naughty. And it’s actually helped me to get in touch with more tender vulnerable parts of myself. So Earthly Delights is taking in the pleasures of what I always thought would keep me out of heaven. For the belief I always had of the hell and unhappiness I would experience for giving into my “carnal nature” of sexuality, which is the natural instinct of humans and even what leads to the source of life itself, here’s to a big F you to my old fears and embracing the sensual side and “earthly delights” of how good and rich it feels. It really is the source to life.”

 

Questioning the beliefs and indoctrination of his youth, the innately angelic David Archuleta has fallen out of graces with the church and his family. Traversing through his own personal hells, he finds a connection with his inner strength in the process— and grounding in his own authentic queer identity. David now re-emerges into the realm of earthly delights. Here, he explores the pleasures and pain of terrestrial life: the sweet indulgences of connection and heartbreak, sensuality and physicality. Innocent at the core, but now balanced and rounded by newfound flirtiness and sass, boldness and humor— he’s an embodied being of the earth, here to take in the full spectrum of what life has to offer, with courage, playfulness, and a beaming inner light.

Additionally, just days before releasing Earthly Delights, David premiered the music video for ‘Dulce Amor’ on August 12, 2025. A seamless fusion of English and Spanish, ‘Dulce Amor’ is a shimmering pop track that captures the rush of falling hard and fast for someone you just want more of, blending the flirtatious energy of ‘Crème Brûlée’ and the sultry ache of ‘Can I Call You’.

David Archuelta is a Miami-born singer and songwriter who first stepped into the spotlight at age 17, quickly establishing a genuine star power that can’t be manufactured. Over the years, he has captivated audiences with his radiant personality and phenomenal voice, producing multiple platinum-selling hits, earning global acclaim as a dynamic live performer, and emerging as an undeniable fixture on the pop-culture scene.
