CEBU CITY — The countdown has almost reached its end. This Saturday, July 18, 2026, the legendary OPM rock band IV OF SPADES will command the stage at the state‑of‑the‑art SM Seaside Cebu Arena for their highly anticipated “Andalucia Tour 2026,” promising an unforgettable night of music.
A Historic Reunion on a Grand Stage
The concert marks a triumphant return for the iconic four‑piece band—Zild Benitez, Blaster Silonga, Badjao De Castro, and Unique Salonga—following a sold‑out two‑night comeback at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. This is their first full nationwide headline tour, and the Cebu leg is set to deliver the same arena‑scale production that captivated Manila. Fans will witness the complete live performance of their critically acclaimed sophomore album, Andalucia, released in November 2025.
The show is a full headline production, not a shortened festival set. The band is prepared to deliver an extensive marathon performance spanning over three hours and featuring more than thirty songs. Alongside the new album, the setlist will be a nostalgic journey through their era‑defining, multi‑platinum anthems like “Mundo,” “Come Inside of My Heart,” and newer hits “Aura” and “Kabisado.”
An Exclusive Pre‑Show Experience for Fans
Adding to the excitement, organizers have planned a unique pre‑concert treat. On Friday, July 17, 2026, from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM, a rare live ticket selling event will take place at the SM Seaside Cebu Arena Ticket Office along Marine Drive. This exclusive event is strictly for ticket buyers, giving fans a special opportunity to purchase their passes in the unique atmosphere of the band’s presence before the main event.
This gesture underscores the band’s effort to create a deeper connection with their Cebuano fans, making the concert experience truly personal. It’s a chance to secure a spot for the historic show while soaking in the pre‑show buzz directly at the venue.

Hosting a concert of this magnitude at the newly opened SM Seaside Cebu Arena solidifies Cebu’s position as a premier destination for world‑class live entertainment in the Visayas.
