5 Seconds of Summer is returning to the Philippines in 2026 for three concerts in Manila. The Australian band will perform at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay on November 11, November 12, and November 29 as part of its “Everyone’s A Star!” World Tour.
The Manila run has expanded since the first concert was announced. Live Nation Philippines first scheduled one show for November 12. A second date on November 11 was later added. In June, a third Manila concert was announced for November 29 after the first two shows sold out.
The concerts will mark 5 Seconds of Summer’s return to the Philippines after its previous visit in 2016. The band is touring in support of its sixth studio album, EVERYONE’S A STAR!, which was released in November 2025.

When did ticket sales start?
The first Manila show was announced in April 2026. General ticket sales for the original November 12 concert began on May 8 at noon through SM Tickets, following the artist, Mastercard and Live Nation presales.
Live Nation announced the second Manila show, scheduled for November 11, in May. The additional concert came after the original date drew strong demand.
The third date, November 29, was announced in June. GMA News reported that the first two Manila concerts had sold out when Live Nation announced the additional show. The artist presale for the third date began June 22, followed by general sales on June 23.
As of the latest official listings checked for this article, Live Nation lists all three dates under general onsale.
Why is 5SOS returning to Manila?
The Manila concerts are part of the band’s global tour for EVERYONE’S A STAR!, its sixth studio album.
The record includes songs such as “NOT OK,” “Boyband,” “Telephone Busy,” “No. 1 Obsession,” “Ghost” and “Sick of Myself.” The album was released in November 2025 and is the basis for the current world tour.
The band has also spoken about the ideas behind the album. In an interview with Official Charts, lead singer Luke Hemmings said the record brings back some of the band’s early spirit while reflecting the experience the members have gained over the years.
“Everyone’s A Star! embodies all of that.”
Hemmings was speaking about how the four members bring their individual skills as writers and performers into the album.
The group is made up of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin.
5SOS and the Philippines
The band’s return comes more than a decade after its previous major Philippine concert appearance.
5 Seconds of Summer last performed in the Philippines in 2016 for its “Sounds Live Feels Live” concert. The group also appeared at the In The Mix music festival in the country in 2017, according to Billboard Philippines.
The band has built its catalog around songs including “She Looks So Perfect,” “Amnesia,” “Youngblood,” “Heartbreak Girl” and “Teeth.” These tracks remain among the group’s better-known songs, while the current tour also puts its newer material in the spotlight.
The 2026 Manila run is now set to be a three-date stop rather than the single concert originally announced. Fans who plan to attend should check the official ticketing pages for their chosen date, especially for current availability and entry rules.
For now, the confirmed Manila dates are November 11, November 12 and November 29, 2026, all at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. Ticket prices start at ₱3,150 for Box Regular and go up to ₱17,550 for the No. 1 Obsession Seat Package. The three concerts are part of 5 Seconds of Summer’s ongoing “Everyone’s A Star!” World Tour.
Fans should use SM Tickets or the official Live Nation Philippines listings for the latest ticket availability, package details and event rules before making plans.
