Ben&Ben takes album tour to Baguio
Concert in August will be the band’s first solo show in the City of Pines
BAGUIO CITY, PHILIPPINES, 11 July 2025 — The country’s biggest folk-pop band Ben&Ben is resuming the Philippine leg of its The Traveller Across Dimensions album tour in August, adding Baguio City to its previously announced Bacolod City and Davao City stops.
The Baguio City show will take place on August 23 at the John Hay Convention Center, sandwiched between the Bacolod show on August 16 at the University of St. La Salle Coliseum and the Davao show on August 30 at the Holy Cross of Davao College Gymnasium.
As part of the lead-up to these shows, the band performed a one-night-only concert at the Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln, California, on July 12.
The album tour made its first stop in Cebu City on May 24, but succeeding shows slated in June had to be rescheduled to allow drummer Jam Villanueva to rest and recover from De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis and Drummer’s Wrist on her left hand.
During that challenging period, while proceeding with their prior commitments and supporting Jam in her healing, the band reflected on their own journey together, the relationship they had built with Liwanag over the past eight years, and the purpose that they and their music served.
“We have grown together as a band and as people, but we know that there is still a lot of room for improvement. What we have realized over the past weeks is that when we are faced with seemingly impossible challenges, we are led to a very important moment of realization. At this moment, we begin to understand that one of the ways we can overcome our struggle is by understanding the purpose of everything that we do,” Ben & Ben said.
Living with purpose aligns with the message of The Traveller Across Dimensions. The concept album follows the story of Liwanag, the Traveller, as she journeys through innocence, struggle, and maturity. She writes 12 songs along the way, which relate her experiences in each of the Dimensions. The songs reflect the various experiences of the band members over the past several years and showcase their growth as people, as songwriters, and as musicians.
“A life of purpose entails a journey of self-discovery, struggle, growth, meaningful connections, and positive contribution. All these have been part of Liwanag’s journey, and part of ours as well. Seeing the songs come alive on stage will allow you to appreciate that journey, that purpose, even more. We would love for you to be part of our shows,” the band further said.
During their concert tour, the nine-piece band will perform tracks from The Traveller Across Dimensions, mixed with their biggest hits. Their latest single Saranggola is also part of the setlist. Since its release in April, Saranggola has slowly gained status as this generation’s friendship anthem.
The band also announced that for the Philippine leg of their album tour, they will be partnering with non-government organizations that align with their advocacies and their purpose. These partners will be announced once all arrangements are finalized.
The Baguio leg of The Traveller Across Dimensions Tour is made possible through a partnership with DuckWorld, a consultancy and management agency specializing in business strategies and solutions for sports and the creative industries.
