LaLaLa Fest Manila 2027: Olivia Dean, Tickets, Lineup and What to Know

The essentials

• Date: Thursday, 14 January 2027. Ticketmelon lists the event at 16:00 (4pm). Gate and set times have not been published.
• Venue: Philippine Arena, Ciudad de Victoria, Bulacan. The festival's own Manila page lists "14 January 2027", "Philippine Arena, Philippines" and "1 Day Festival".
• Lineup so far: Olivia Dean, BINI, Lola Amour, Sunkissed Lola, Up Dharma Down (in the order the festival lists them). More acts to be announced.
• Promoter: Wilbros Live
• Tickets: Ticketmelon only. Prices were ₱2,200 (Upper Box Regular B), ₱3,800 (Upper Box Regular A), ₱5,800 (Upper Box Premium), ₱6,800 (Lower Box Regular B), ₱8,800 (Lower Box Regular A), ₱9,800 (Floor Standing), ₱10,800 (Lower Box Premium) and ₱12,800 (VIP Seated). Every one of those tiers reads "Sold Out" on Ticketmelon when we checked on 4 November.
• Obstructed view: Ticketmelon flags some sections as obstructed view, including Lower Box Premium 102 and 114, Lower Box Regular B 202, 203, 221 and 222, and Upper Box Premium 302, 303, 322 and 323. Worth knowing if someone offers you a seat in one of them.

Sold out: what is still possible

Sales opened with an artist presale on 14 October, a GoTyme Bank presale on 15 and 16 October, and general sale at 10am on 17 October. Less than three weeks later, Ticketmelon shows nothing left in any tier.

If you missed out, here is what we would do. Follow Wilbros Live and LaLaLa Festival for any added tickets or an official resale; neither had announced one when we checked. Buy only through Ticketmelon or a channel the promoter names. Ticket scams pile up around sold out shows, and a screenshot of a QR code proves nothing. Olivia Dean also headlines LaLaLa's Jakarta edition on Sunday, 17 January, and its Bangkok edition on Wednesday, 20 January (Billboard Philippines, 8 October 2026), if a short trip is on the table.

And keep an eye on the lineup. More acts are still to be announced, and the full bill is often the moment people who skipped the first round decide to go.

Who Olivia Dean is, and why this show matters

Olivia Dean is a London singer-songwriter whose music sits between soul, pop and R&B. She won Best New Artist at the 68th Grammy Awards on 1 February 2026, beating a field that included KATSEYE, Addison Rae, Alex Warren, The Marías, sombr, Leon Thomas and Lola Young (GMA News, from AFP).

The record behind it is The Art of Loving, her second album, released in September 2025: twelve songs in about 34 minutes, which went platinum in the UK and gold in the US (Elle, April 2026). The songs most people know are "Man I Need", "So Easy (To Fall in Love)", "Nice to Each Other", "Lady Lady" and "A Couple Minutes", several of which spread through TikTok and Instagram.

Manila took to her in a big way. "Man I Need" reached No. 3 on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 (Billboard Philippines, 8 October 2026). That is why a first visit, at the biggest indoor arena in the country, sold through so quickly.

The rest of the lineup

BINI were named Artist of the Year at the 2026 Filipino Music Awards (Billboard Philippines). For a lot of people in the arena they will be a second headliner. Up Dharma Down, now often billed as UDD, are the veteran Manila indie band behind songs like "Tadhana". Lola Amour are a funk pop band, and Sunkissed Lola are the pop rock band behind "Pasilyo".

LaLaLa and Manila

LaLaLa Fest started in Indonesia. Its first Philippine edition was on 21 August 2026 at the World Trade Center Manila in Pasay, with Steve Lacy, Two Door Cinema Club, FLO and Dermot Kennedy among the international acts, and Ben&Ben, Maki, Over October, Dilaw and fitterkarma from home (GMA News and Billboard Philippines, October 2026). The 2027 edition is the festival's second here, and it moves up to the Philippine Arena.

For Olivia Dean it is a first. The Manila Times, Billboard Philippines and GMA all report that LaLaLa Fest 2027 is her Philippine debut.

What they have said about coming

Wilbros Live and the festival teased her booking with the caption "TALK TO ME, TALK TO ME, MANILA", a nod to the opening line of "Man I Need" (as reported by Billboard Philippines, 8 October 2026). We have not found anything Olivia Dean has said about Manila yet; we will add it here when she does.

What she said on the night she won her Grammy gives a sense of her: "I'm up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant. I'm a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated. So, yeah, we're nothing without each other" (AFP via GMA News, 2 February 2026).

What she has been playing

A festival set is usually shorter than a headline show, so read this as a guide to recent dates, not a promise for Manila. On The Art of Loving Tour in October 2026, at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne (5 and 6 October), Afterpay Arena in Sydney (9 October) and Western Springs Bowl in Auckland (17 October), after the intro she opened with "Nice to Each Other", "Lady Lady" and "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" and closed with "It Isn't Perfect But It Might Be", "Dive" and "Man I Need" (setlist.fm). In between came "Close Up", "Let Alone the One You Love", "Messy", "UFO", "Carmen", "Echo", "Loud", "A Couple Minutes", "The Hardest Part", "Baby Steps", "Ladies Room", "OK Love You Bye" and a cover of Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up". In Sydney and Auckland, "The Hardest Part" was sung from a second stage out among the crowd.

Getting there and back

The Philippine Arena is north of Metro Manila off NLEX, and no train line goes there. It is a Thursday, so the drive up collides with the working day. Plan your ride home before you leave: a promoter or shuttle company bus booked ahead, your own car with a loaded Easytrip RFID, or a hired car that waits for you. Our Philippine Arena concert guide covers shuttles, the NLEX exit to use, when to leave and what to bring, and the venue page explains the seat sections.
