Filipino EXO-Ls, prepare your lightsticks! The “King of OSTs,” Chen, is officially returning to the Philippines for a highly anticipated solo performance. As part of his global tour, the CHEN CONCERT TOUR <Arcadia> in MANILA will take place on February 28, 2026, at 4:00 PM at the FYM Hall, EVM Convention Center.
Known for his powerhouse vocals and soul-stirring ballads, Chen’s upcoming show promises to be an intimate celebration of his musical journey and a chance to connect deeply with his loyal local fanbase, whom he affectionately refers to as “Soondingies” (Dandelions).
Since his debut as the main vocalist of EXO in 2011, Chen has consistently proven his versatility as a singer-songwriter through a series of successful projects. From the delicate notes of his first mini-album, “April, and a Flower,” to subsequent releases like “Dear My Dear,” “Last Scene,” “Polaris,” and “Door,” his discography reflects a deep artistic evolution.
Fans can expect a setlist featuring his iconic K-drama soundtracks that have earned him the “Best OST” by a Male Artist at the Seoul International Youth Film Festival. His legendary contributions to dramas like “Descendants of the Sun” with the song “Everytime” and “It’s Okay, That’s Love” with “Best Luck” have cemented his status as a vocal icon.
His latest album, “Arcadia,” marks a bold new chapter for the artist under his new label, INB100. Released in late 2025, the album explores themes of finding a personal paradise amidst the routines of daily life. Chen took a hands-on approach to this record, contributing lyrics to the title track “Arcadia” and the fan-favorite “Help Me (Somebody 2 Love).”
Musically, the album sees him branching out from his signature ballads to embrace a more energetic, band-driven sound. This concert serves as a heartfelt invitation for fans to step into Chen’s new musical world and experience this “Arcadia” era live, highlighting the sincerity and strong bond he has maintained with his audience for over a decade.
Organized by Three Angles Production, the event ensures his fans feel the love through a variety of exclusive perks. VIP ticket holders will receive a commemorative ID tag and lanyard, along with access to a private soundcheck session to see the artist’s preparation firsthand.
In an especially exciting highlight, every single attendee will participate in a send-off session that includes a selfie opportunity with Chen, ensuring no one goes home without a personal memory. Furthermore, VIP and CAT 1 holders will be eligible for a raffle to win signed posters, and all audience members will receive exclusive event-only photocards.
Tickets are priced between PHP 7,000 and PHP 11,500 and is available via tapyourtickets.com.
