Dan and Phil in Manila 2026: Hard Launch on 4 December at the New Frontier Theater, Tickets, Age Limit and What Is Left

Date, venue and what the show is

When: Friday 4 December 2026, 7:30 PM per the theatre's listing. Where: New Frontier Theater, Araneta City, Cubao, Quezon City. Promoters: Insignia Presents with BOHM Presents. Tickets: Ticketnet, linked from the Insignia Presents event page.

Dan Howell and Phil Lester are a popular duo on YouTube, as GMA News puts it, and Hard Launch is their new stage show. Insignia describes it as "a much needed night of outrageous oversharing, scream laughing, and celebrating that we're all still here and we made it", and says it is for everyone "from casual male-podcast listeners, to friends and fam that lost bets, and the people that have been here since the beginning". Manila was added to the tour as a new date. When it was announced, Dan wrote on X: "NEW TOUR DATES ADDED DUE TO PHENOMENAL PHEMAND," GMA News reported.

Our event page has the short version.

How to buy

Insignia's purchase guidelines list three ways to buy:

• Ticketnet Box Office at the Yellow Gate of the Smart Araneta Coliseum, Araneta City.
• Ticketnet outlets at select Fisher Mall, Eastwood Mall Concierge and Robinsons Department Store branches. The list is at ticketnet.com.ph/ticket-outlets.
• Online at ticketnet.com.ph.

Paying. At the box office and outlets: cash, locally issued credit and debit cards, and GCash, Maya or QR Ph. Online, the promoter lists only Mastercard and Visa cards issued in the Philippines, so if your card was issued abroad, plan to buy in person.

Limits. A maximum of six tickets per transaction. For a bigger group, the promoter says you can split it into several transactions.

Refunds. All sales are final and non-refundable unless the event is cancelled. Ticketnet handles refund questions at info@ticketnet.com.ph or 8911-5555.

Discounts. Holders of a Senior Citizen ID get 20% off, one ticket per ID, and only when buying in person at the Ticketnet Box Office or outlets. The senior citizen has to be there and is asked to bring a second ID.

Age limit, ID and the waiver

Insignia's guidelines say: "Due to the explicit nature of the show, this is an R-15 event. Admission is strictly limited to patrons aged 15 years and over. Valid identification cards will be required for verification upon entry."

So bring an ID, even if you are well past 15, and do not plan on bringing a younger sibling.

Persons with disabilities and pregnant women need a liability waiver, signed by an adult aged 18 or over. The form is on Insignia's waiver forms page, insigniapresents.com/waiver-forms.

Show time

The New Frontier Theater's own site lists the show at 7:30 PM. Insignia's event page gives no time, and door opening is not announced yet (checked 6 November 2026). Check your Ticketnet confirmation, and watch Insignia Presents' social accounts for the show-day advisory in the last week.

Getting there and home

The New Frontier Theater is in Araneta City, Cubao, the same complex as the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The theatre says it has bridgelinks to Gateway Tower and Manhattan Parkview, with parking close by at Gateway Mall and Manhattan Parkview. It seats 2,325, so this is a much smaller room than an arena show.

Getting to the theatre is the same as getting to the Coliseum. A 7:30 PM show can finish late, so plan the trip home before you go.
