Ben&Ben announces ‘Saranggola’ concert at Araneta in October 2026

The folk-pop powerhouse prepares to soar at the Big Dome following their stint as PH representatives at the ASEAN-Korea ROUND festival.

Attention, Liwanag! Ben&Ben is set to soar again with a major solo concert in 2026.

The OPM powerhouse announced “Saranggola: The Concert,” happening on October 2 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, in a social media post on April 6. “Saranggola” is the April 2025 single that marked the band’s eighth anniversary.

The reveal comes just days after Ben&Ben released its newest single, “Lifetime,” on March 31.

This month, Ben&Ben also serves as one of the Philippine representatives at the ASEAN-Korea Music Festival—also known as the ROUND Festival—on April 18 and 19. They are slated to perform on Day 2 alongside HORI7ON, while TJ Monterde and Cup of Joe will take the stage on Day 1.

Ben&Ben’s last major outing was during the “The Traveller Across Dimensions” tour, which wrapped up in December 2025 after multiple international stops.

A bittersweet milestone: The final year for Jam

For fans, the upcoming concert also carries a bittersweet note. 2026 marks the final year of drummer Jam Villanueva with the band. As Ben&Ben continues to dominate the charts—maintaining their status as the most-streamed Filipino artist on Spotify with over two billion streams—the October concert serves as both a celebration of their growth and a farewell to a founding rhythmic pillar.

Composed of twin brothers Paolo Benjamin Guico and Miguel Benjamin Guico, Poch Barretto, Agnes Reoma, Pat Lasaten, Toni Muñoz, Andrew De Pano, Keifer Cabugao, and the outgoing Villanueva, Ben&Ben remains the most-streamed Filipino artist on Spotify, with over two billion streams to date.

 

 

High hopes and bittersweet notes: Ben&Ben announces their 2026 “Saranggola” concert at the Big Dome, marking a new chapter and a final run for drummer Jam Villanueva.
