Tony, Emmy and five-time Grammy Award–nominated singer-songwriter Josh Groban is bringing his “Gems World Tour” to Manila for a Valentine’s week concert on Feb. 18, 2026, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. He will be joined by special guests Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez and Concert King Martin Nievera. The show is presented by Wilbros Live.

With more than 35 million albums sold worldwide, Groban is best known for songs such as “You Raise Me Up,” “To Where You Are,” “February Song,” and “The Prayer.” The tour showcases his trademark mix of classical strength and pop appeal, with numbers like “Believe” and “Evermore” performed alongside an orchestra and choir for a rich, cinematic sound. Known for his distinct voice and steady stage presence, Groban continues to draw packed crowds in venues around the world.

Regine Velasquez, one of the best-selling Filipino artists of all time, whose legendary vocal range and hits like “Dadalhin”, “Pangako” and “On The Wings of Love” have earned her unprecedented accolades. Martin Nievera, the prolific singer-songwriter and TV host behind iconic hits like “Be My Lady”, “Say That You Love Me” and “You Are My Song” previously interviewed Groban and expressed immense excitement to transition from interviewer to stage partner for this historic reunion. Together, these multi-award-winning legends promise to make the evening an unforgettable showcase of world-class talent.  

Reflecting on his return to the Philippines after seven years, Groban expressed a profound emotional connection to his Filipino audience, noting that the country holds “a very special place in my heart”. He credited the local fan base for their unwavering support, stating “Outside of America, the Philippines is one that got to truly accept my music. Filipinos have understood me and my music for the entirety of my career.”  

For Groban, the upcoming Manila concert is a celebration of a relationship that spans decades. “Every time I have the opportunity to perform for my fans in the Philippines, it is a night of many things – most of which is gratitude – gratitude that I feel from my fans there since album one, day one,” he shared. “So whenever I come to the Philippines, whenever I get to play a concert there, I celebrate your country’s love of music.”
