Grammy-winning Laufey shocks fans by inviting BINI for a dream duet—plus a heartfelt backstage birthday gift for Maloi that sent fans swooning.
Filipino Lauvers just got the ultimate concert crossover!
During the second night of her “A Matter of Time” tour on May 27 at the Araneta Coliseum, Grammy-winning Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey completely shocked the crowd by bringing out the Nation’s Girl Group, BINI.
The powerhouse artists shared the stage to perform a stunning, harmonized rendition of Laufey’s hit “From the Start.”
This monumental team-up officially makes our very own tropical P-pop octet the first-ever Filipino act to share the stage with the jazz-pop artist — a collaboration coming just weeks after the artists crossed paths at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music Awards, fresh off of BINI’s historic Coachella debut.
“I LOVE YOU @bini_ph ♥️” – laufey

To make the night even more special, the concert doubled as an unforgettable birthday celebration for BINI’s Maloi Ricalde. Backstage, Laufey gifted the P-pop idol a signed album cover with a sweet personalized note: “Dear Maloi, Happy Birthday and thank you so much for spending the day with me! Love you!”
