Laufey is making a grand return to the Philippines very soon for her A Matter of Time World Tour.
The news was announced by the Icelandic-Chinese musician and Live Nation Philippines on their respective social media platforms, wherein they shared details of her upcoming shows this May 26 and May 27, 2026 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Her forthcoming performances in Manila were announced as part of the Asia, Australia, and New Zealand leg of her tour, which will also see her perform in Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Seoul, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, and more. “Asia, Australia, and New Zealand…it was only a matter of time until we made our way to you!” read her caption on her social accounts.
Laufey’s A Matter of Time World Tour comes in support of her album of the same name, which was released in August 2025. The album was met with acclaim from critics worldwide, and was awarded the Best Traditional Pop award at the 2026 Grammy Awards, marking her second Grammy win ever.
Just recently, the jazz-pop phenomenon also announced the release of its deluxe edition, set to be titled A Matter of Time: The Final Hour, which is set to include four brand new tracks, including her latest single “How I Get.” The record is scheduled for release this April 10, 2026, and is available for pre-order and pre-save here.
Laufey’s forthcoming concert this May will mark her second time performing at the Mall of Asia Arena, following her sold-out September 2024 concert — and fourth time performing in the Philippines overall. She made her Manila debut at the Filinvest Tent back in 2023, and returned twice in 2024 with a special show at the PICC’s Plenary Hall with the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra in May, and at the Mall of Asia Arena for her ‘Bewitched: The Goddess Tour’ in September.
Tickets to the upcoming show are priced from Php 2,500 to Php 9,500, with more details available here. VISA pre-sale is set to open on March 9, with Live Nation’s pre-sale on March 10, and General Onsale on March 11.
