Filipino folk-pop sensation Ben&Ben is set to return to the UAE, this time gracing the stage of Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena on 14 October 2023. Following their successful debut in Dubai at Expo 2020, this upcoming concert is predicted to be a high note in the city’s entertainment scene for the year.
Ben&Ben, the top-selling Filipino band, is best known for their emotionally-charged anthems and spectacular live performances. Since their formation in 2016 by twin brothers Miguel Benjamin and Paolo Benjamin, the nine-member ensemble has garnered significant attention and acclaim. Their distinctive blend of folk, indie, and pop, paired with evocative lyrics, has made them a household name not just in the Philippines but across Asia.
Some of their accolades include the impressive title of Spotify’s ‘Most Streamed Artist’ of 2020 in the Philippines. Furthermore, their global reach was solidified when they bagged the NME Awards 2022’s Best Asian Band award. Their astounding digital presence is evident with over a billion online streams to their name, establishing them as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
Their return to Dubai comes after a triumphant show at Expo 2020 in March 2022, where they were greeted by an overwhelming crowd of devoted fans from across the region. Their forthcoming performance promises a repertoire of their hit tracks, such as “Kathang Isip,” “Maybe the Night,” and “Leaves.” This concert is not just a highlight for the band, but also a monumental moment for OPM (Original Pilipino Music) and indie music enthusiasts in Dubai.
This musical extravaganza is brought to you by The Fridge Entertainment in collaboration with Coca-Cola Arena. Fans and newcomers alike are encouraged to seize the opportunity to watch Ben&Ben live, and be enveloped by their music that resonates with themes of love, hope, and infinite possibilities.
For those eager to attend, tickets are already available, starting at AED149, exclusively at the Coca-Cola Arena’s website.
