Josh Groban’s ‘GEMS WORLD TOUR’ Set to Light Up Manila with Special Guests Regine Velasquez and Martin Nievera
Tony, Emmy, and five-time Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter Josh Groban is bringing his highly anticipated ‘GEMS WORLD TOUR’ to Manila this February. The concert will take place on February 18, 2026, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, promising a spectacular Valentine’s week celebration presented by Wilbros Live.
With over 35 million albums sold worldwide, Groban is renowned for his powerful and emotive voice, delivering iconic anthems such as “You Raise Me Up,” “To Where You Are,” “February Song,” and “The Prayer.” The tour highlights his unique blend of classical and pop music, featuring cinematic hits like “Believe” and “Evermore,” performed alongside an orchestra and choir to create an immersive musical experience. Known for his instantly recognizable voice and dynamic stage presence, Groban continues to captivate audiences globally with sold-out shows.
Joining Groban on stage for this special Manila concert are two of the Philippines’ most celebrated music icons: Regine Velasquez, famously known as ‘Asia’s Songbird,’ and Martin Nievera, the legendary ‘Concert King.’ Velasquez, one of the best-selling Filipino artists of all time, has enchanted fans with her remarkable vocal range and timeless hits like “Dadalhin,” “Pangako,” and “On The Wings of Love.” Nievera, a prolific singer-songwriter and TV host, known for classics such as “Be My Lady,” “Say That You Love Me,” and “You Are My Song,” previously interviewed Groban and is now thrilled to share the stage with him in this historic reunion. Together, these multi-award-winning artists promise an unforgettable night of world-class musical artistry.
Reflecting on his return to the Philippines after seven years, Groban expressed a deep emotional bond with his Filipino fans. “The Philippines holds a very special place in my heart,” he said. “Outside of America, the Philippines is one country that truly embraced my music. Filipinos have understood me and my music throughout my career.”
Groban described the Manila concert as a celebration of a long-lasting relationship with his audience. “Every time I perform in the Philippines, it is a night filled with gratitude — gratitude I feel from my fans since day one,” he shared. “So whenever I come here, I celebrate your country’s love of music.”
