The Fray finally returning to the Philippines later this year. The Grammy-nominated rock band announced the news on May 19, 2025 (Monday), revealing that they are set hold a concert in Manila this December 12, 2025 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. “Manila, it’s been too long! We’re so excited to be heading back to the Philippines,” they stated in their announcement post.

Organized by Midas Promotions, the upcoming show is part of the band’s world tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed debut album How To Save A Life, which came out on September 13, 2005. It will serve as the only Asia stop of the entire tour, which also spans multiple dates across North America, Europe, and Australia.

Notably, the show is also the band’s first time in the Philippines since their first concert in the country, which was held 13 years ago on November 10, 2012, also at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Tickets are priced from PHP 2,500 to PHP 7,500 and will be available starting May 30, 2025 (Friday) at 12:00 PM (PHT) via TicketNet. Other relevant details, such as perks per ticket tier have yet to be announced. Watch this space for updates.

Formed in 2002, The Fray are best known for such hits as “How To Save A Life,” “Heartbeat,” “Look After You,” “You Found Me,” and more. Their latest release is The Fray Is Back — a six-track EP, which came out on September 27, 2024. It served as the band’s first release since the departure of former lead vocalist and pianist Isaac Slade in 2022 to focus on his mental health and attend to personal matters.
