CEBU CITY — The long wait ends on July 18, 2026, as the original IV of Spades lineup takes over the SM Seaside Cebu Arena for a massive three‑hour concert. The Andalucia Tour 2026 stop promises a 30‑song setlist and an unforgettable night for Cebuano fans.
A Reunion Worth Traveling For
The band’s return after a five‑year hiatus has already drawn sell‑out crowds in Manila, and Cebu is next. Unique Salonga, Zild Benitez, Blaster Silonga, and Badjao de Castro are performing together again, and their chemistry on stage has reignited a nationwide excitement. For fans across the Visayas, this is a rare chance to witness music history without flying to the capital.
The concert is expected to draw attendees from neighboring islands, boosting hotel occupancy and restaurant traffic around the SM Seaside complex. Local tourism stakeholders see the event as another sign that Cebu is a premier destination for world‑class entertainment. The arena’s modern facilities make it an ideal venue for large‑scale productions of this caliber.
Three Hours, Thirty Songs
Organizers have designed the show as a marathon celebration of the band’s evolution. Every track from their second studio album, Andalucia, will be played live, alongside reimagined classics from their earlier catalog. The setlist also includes selections from the members’ solo projects, weaving together the full story of their musical journey.
Fans can expect the psychedelic funk‑infused alternative rock that defined the group’s sound, now matured and amplified for an arena setting. The production features immersive visuals and lighting that complement the band’s signature aesthetic. With such an extensive performance, concertgoers are advised to arrive early and settle in for an evening of non‑stop music.
Tickets and Seating Options
Tickets are now available through SM Tickets, with prices ranging from ₱1,500 for Box Regular B Side to ₱5,500 for VIP A reserved seating. Several categories, including SVIP Floor Standing, place fans close to the action. The variety of tiers ensures that both casual listeners and die‑hard followers can find a spot that fits their budget.
Buyers must present a valid government‑issued ID that matches the SM Tickets account and credit card used for purchase. This strict policy protects fans from scalpers and ensures a fair distribution of seats. Minors aged three to seventeen are welcome but must hold their own ticket and present a printed waiver signed by a guardian.
