Ebe Dancel has just announced his 25th anniversary concert, which is once again set to feature the Manila String Machine.
The forthcoming concert has been titled ‘The Repeat,’ in honor of his 20th anniversary concert that featured the renowned string ensemble back in 2020. This year’s iteration is scheduled to take place on November 15, 2025, at the New Frontier Theater in Cubao, Quezon City. The beloved balladeer and former Sugarfree frontman shared the announcement on social media, revealing the official poster along with the caption: “Dalawampu’t limang taon. Isa pang gabing hindi malilimutan.” (Twenty-five years. One more unforgettable night.)
The upcoming show serves as a follow-up to Dancel’s 2020 solo concert — his last major performance before the COVID-19 lockdowns — which celebrated his 20th year in the music industry. That milestone show also featured the Manila String Machine and was helmed by Paolo Valenciano (creative direction) and Chino David (musical direction), delivering a sweeping 20-song set that traced his evolution from Sugarfree frontman to solo artist.
The 2025 concert is expected to be another emotionally charged night, spotlighting Dancel’s enduring songwriting and the orchestral flourishes that elevated his past performances into something fans still talk about five years later.
Though no further details have been revealed regarding pricing and ticket tiers, tickets are scheduled to go on sale starting August 30 at 12 PM via ticketnet.com.ph and all Ticketnet outlets nationwide.
