Legendary balladeer Peabo Bryson is set to perform a one-night-only concert in the Philippines on March 8, 2026, at the Theatre at Solaire in Parañaque City.
Celebrating over 50 years in the music industry, Bryson, dubbed the “King of Ballads,” has earned acclaim for his soulful performances and timeless duets.
Known for hits such as” Tonight, I Celebrate My Love,” “You’re Looking Like Love to Me,” and “As Long As There’s Christmas” with Roberta Flack, Bryson also delivered iconic Disney classics like “A Whole New World” with Regina Belle from Aladdin and “Beauty and the Beast” with Celine Dion from Beauty and the Beast. Both duets won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
Tickets for the Manila concert go on sale on December 12, 2025, via Ticketworld, at 10:00 AM, with prices ranging from PHP 2,500 to PHP 12,800.
Bryson was initially scheduled to hold three concerts in the Philippines in 2023: at the New Frontier Theater in Manila, at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel, and at the SMX Convention Center in Davao. However, Ovation Productions later announced that the concerts would be indefinitely postponed.

In 2024, Bryson’s “If Ever You’re in My Arms Again” made a surprise entry on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 chart, debuting at No. 73. The charting proves that Filipino listeners continue to connect with the singer-songwriter decades after the song’s original 1984 release, thanks to its nostalgic charm and lasting popularity as a karaoke favorite and go-to for aspiring balladeers in the country.
