concerts Metro Manila August 2019

Say hello to a fun August with these concerts.


Some consider August to be a boring month, but that shouldn’t be the case. You can easily spice it up with these concerts in Metro Manila this August 2019, which feature talented local and foreign artists. Although July has had a handful of hot acts and live concerts, August comes close with the help of Kpop groups like GFriend and Nu’Est.

Meanwhile, a special collaboration between Rico Blanco and IV of Spades will thrill young and old music fans alike. For nostalgic folks, 90s emo band American Football and Philippine’s theater legend Lea Salonga will hold their own respective shows. Found the perfect show for you? Check out the details of these five concerts in Metro Manila this August 2019!


1. American Football

When: August 2, 2019; Friday, 7:00 PM
Where: Power Mac Center Spotlight, Makati City
Prices:
Early Bird - PhP2,500
Standard - PhP2,700




Ever since their debut in 1997, American Football has become an inspiration for young bands all over the world. However, to the dismay of their fans, the group went on hiatus for 14 years. Happily, the emo grunge band resurrected in 2014, gaining them new and younger fans. Mostly known for their classic tune “Never Meant,” American Football expands their legacy with the release of their third self-titled album this year.



The new album is a treat for younger fans as the band collaborated with Paramore’s Hayley Williams for the song “Uncomfortably Numb.” Joining American Football in their Manila show will be local band Typecast. Tickets are available at Bandwagon Asia’s website.

Tips for a good experience: Bring a jacket to keep yourself warm since it is cold inside the Power Mac Center Spotlight.

How to get to Power Mac Center Spotlight: Ride the MRT to Guadalupe station. From the station, ride a jeepney en route to Del Pan or El Guinto and get off at PRC. Circuit Makati is walking distance from there. Once there, find the yellow building; the Power Mac Center Spotlight is on its second floor.



2. Rico Blanco x IV of Spades Live in Concert

When: August 3, 2019; Saturday, 8:00 PM
Where: Metrotent Convention Center Metrowalk Commercial Complex, South Drive Meralco Ave, Brgy. Ugong, Pasig City
Prices:
Silver - PhP905
Gold - PhP1,590
Platinum - PhP2,385




OPM fans received the best treat this year when two different generations of artists in the form of Rico Blanco and IV of Spades collaborated with the release of the track “Nagbabalik” (Returning). Besides the release of the song, the two acts will also come together for a one-night concert at Metrotent Convention Center.

IV of Spades became popular due to their hit songs “Mundo” (World) and “Hey Barbara.” On the other hand, Rico Blanco is an OPM icon on his own as the vocalist of the legendary band Rivermaya. Several of the band’s famous songs include “214,” “Himala,” (Miracle) and “Ulan” (Rain).

Tips for a good experience: The area around Metrotent is filled with heavy traffic during rush hour. Since the show will start at 8:00 PM, start your travel an hour early to give way for traffic. If you have a car, arriving at the venue early also helps in securing a parking spot since the Metrotent’s parking slots are fewer than usual concert locations.



How to get to Metrotent: Take the MRT to Ortigas station. Walk towards SM Megamall and ride a jeepney or UV Express heading to Robinsons Galleria. While at Robinsons Galleria, ride a jeep heading to Rosario and ask the driver to drop you off at Meralco Ave. It is near Home Depot. Metrowalk is in front of Marco Polo Hotel. The Metrotent is within the area.

Price Level 4 - PhP4,200
