OPM pop band Ben&Ben just dropped the details for Saranggola: The Concert. The announcement was made through Instagram on March 6, 2025. According to the post, Ben&Ben is set to hold their major concert Saranggola: The Concert this October 2026 in Araneta Coliseum.
Prior to this, the band released the reimagined version of their single “Lifetime (Reimagined)”, which has already reached No. 1 on the Genius Lyrics Chart. The track’s success reflects the group’s continued resonance with listeners and adds to the growing anticipation for their upcoming live performance.
”Grabe to. Salamat sa pagsearch ng lyrics, Liwanaggg. Anong fave part nyo?” they posted on their Instagram story, alongside the post reflecting their new achievement.
On their TikTok, they also posted a video with the caption: “What if mag date kayo ng friends mo sa…” as they revealed their major concert. Fans were ecstatic in the comment section with the announcement:
“AYANNNN TAGAL KO NA NAG MAMANIFESTTT!!! SEE YOUU BEN&BEN”
“ITS REALLY A DATEEEEE OUR BEEENS 🥹💙💛💙💛”
“It's finally happening. Pangarap niyo lang 'to dati. 🥺 Sabi ko, sana Araneta next concert niyo kahit mas maliit siya sa MOA, okay lang kasi pangarap niyo 'yun eh? Ily, @benandbenmusic 😭🤍”
Ben&Ben is known for its nine-member lineup and folk pop sound. The band has released multiple albums and chart-topping songs, and has consistently drawn large audiences for both local and international performances.
Saranggola is one of their singles dedicated to friendship, written in honor of the friendships the band has nurtured for the past 8 years. The song’s message of enduring friendship and shared experiences aligns with the concert’s framing as a gathering space for fans, further reinforcing the band’s connection with its audience.
Last March 9, Ben&Ben first hinted at the concert through an Instagram post featuring personal life updates, where they shared, “Malapit na rin kaming mag announce ng MAJOR CONCERT ngayong 2026! Abangan niyo ha? <3.”
The teaser also included the announcement of a sequel to “Saranggola” and the reimagined version of their single “Lifetime (Reimagined)” which was released last March 31.
The upcoming concert follows the band’s previous large-scale show at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in December 2024, as well as their Traveller Across Dimensions Tour which brought them to multiple cities including Manila, Cebu, Bacolod, Baguio, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and California.
With another arena concert on the horizon, expectations continue to build for what is anticipated to be a memorable live experience. Further details, including ticket information, are expected to be announced soon.
