December Avenue are taking everyone back in time to their 15th anniversary concert, dubbed ‘Sa Ilalim Ng Mga Bituin,’ with a live album.
The special full-length record is composed of live recordings that were taken during the Filipino pop rock hitmakers’ concert, which happened on August 30, 2024 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City, to celebrate the band’s 15 years together. Due to popular demand, a repeat show on December 6, 2024 was held, also at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Consisting of a total of 24 tracks, the live album, entitled Sa Ilalim Ng Mga Bituin (Live At The SM Mall Of Asia Arena), includes performances of the band’s hits over the years, accompanied by the City Lights Symphony Orchestra — an ensemble specifically created for the show by its musical director Nikko Rivera. The setlist includes such hits as “Saksi Ang Langit,” “Sa Ngalan Ng Pag-Ibig,” “Sleep Tonight,” “Eroplanong Papel,” and more.
Sa Ilalim Ng Mga Bituin (Live At The SM Mall Of Asia Arena) is December Avenue’s second release of 2025. It follows “Ahon” — their collaboration single with Asia’s Phoenix Morissette.
In other news, December Avenue were recently announced as Billboard Philippines’ No. 5 Artist of 2025 and one of the chart-topping artists who defined Filipino music this 2025. Billboard Philippines described them “as one of OPM’s standout pop-rock bands,” with the band’s songs having “touched the hearts of Filipinos, whether they may be broken and still healing or have finally found the one for them.” Additionally, their 2022 single “Saksi Ang Langit” has also “found resurgence and resonance with a younger generation, catapulting them to the top of the charts.”
