LANY in Manila 2026: Tickets, Setlist and What to Know

Two nights at the Philippine Arena on 7 and 8 November, their first there since a crowd of more than 50,000 in 2024. Dates, tickets, their Manila history and what they played on recent dates.

By What's On Manila editors

LANY play the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on Saturday, 7 November and Sunday, 8 November 2026, on their soft world tour. Live Nation Philippines is the promoter. Tickets are sold through SM Tickets, and as of 20 October 2026 neither night is marked sold out on Live Nation's pages. It is the band's first Philippine Arena show since October 2024, when they played to a crowd reported at more than 50,000.

Updated October 2026.

Prices and age rules: check the seat plan on SM Tickets before you buy. Live Nation's own pages do not list prices or an age policy, and we could not load the SM Tickets event pages to confirm them for this guide. We will add them here once we have read them on the seller's page.

Live Nation's ticket terms say tickets cannot be used for commercial purposes, including prizes, contests or sweepstakes, and that tickets sold or used that way "may be nullified without a refund". Buy only from SM Tickets online or at SM Tickets outlets.

The 8 November show came first. Philstar reported on 26 March 2026 that the Live Nation presale for it "already sold out" when the promoter added 7 November.

Who LANY are, and why this show matters

LANY is a pop band from Los Angeles, formed in Nashville in 2014. The name stands for Los Angeles, New York. Today it is a duo: Paul Klein on lead vocals and guitar, and Jake Goss on drums. Keyboardist Les Priest was part of the band on their early Manila visits and left in 2022.

The songs most people here know:

  • "ILYSB", the 2015 single that closed their very first arena show in Manila
  • "Super Far", from their self-titled debut album (2017)
  • "Thru These Tears" and "Malibu Nights", from Malibu Nights (2018)
  • "13" and "Mean It", both in their Philippine Arena set in 2024

This tour is for Soft, their sixth album, released on 10 October 2025. Five more songs followed as Soft 2 in March 2026.

What makes LANY different here is the size of the Filipino following. In July 2019, The Philippine Star reported that four of the top five cities listening to LANY on Spotify were in the Philippines: Quezon City, Makati, San Juan and Manila. When the paper asked why, Klein asked back: "We don't know. Can you tell us? We'd love to know."

LANY and Manila

A short history, from newspaper reports:

  • March 2017: their first Philippine show, at the Wanderland Music and Arts Festival, a festival they did not headline. Mall shows followed later that year.
  • 5 April 2018: their first arena show anywhere, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, with a second sold-out night after it. They closed with "Super Far" and "ILYSB".
  • 23 to 25 July 2019: three sold-out nights at the Mall of Asia Arena on the Malibu Nights world tour. The Philippine Star reported the promoters' claim that no foreign act had done that before.
  • 2020: a Cebu set at the Plus63 Music and Arts Festival, just before the pandemic.
  • November 2022: five nights at the Mall of Asia Arena.
  • 12 October 2024: the Philippine Arena, sold out, with the Inquirer reporting more than 50,000 people. Filipino singer Maki joined them on stage. The day before, Klein and Goss served customers at a Jollibee in BGC. Three nights in Cebu followed.

This November is their sixth visit, and the first to include Davao. The tour also plays Cebu on 6 and 12 November and Davao on 14 November, so those are not Bulacan dates.

What they have said about coming

We found no 2026 interview where the band talks about these shows. What they have said from Manila stages, as reported at the time:

Paul Klein, at the Araneta on 5 April 2018, as reported by GMA News on 8 April 2018:

"This is our first arena show ever. We've been to Manila three times in the last year and it already feels like home."

Klein, on the second Araneta night, as reported by Bandwagon on 10 April 2018:

"Thank you so much for making our dreams come true. I'd love to come back for the rest of our lives."

Klein, at the Philippine Arena on 12 October 2024, as reported by The Philippine Star on 15 October 2024:

"I have never seen so many people in one place in my entire life."

"Manila, you have been so, so good to us for so many years. In fact, I feel like Manila understood LANY before anyone else understood us."

And at the end of that night, from the same report:

"For as long as LANY exists, we will always be here in the Philippines."

What they have been playing

This is what they played on recent dates of this tour, not a promise of the Bulacan setlist.

At KINTEX Hall 9 in Goyang, South Korea, on 3 October 2026 (setlist.fm):

Soft; Why; Make Me Forget; you!; Thick and Thin; dna; I Don't Wanna Love You Anymore; Prettiest Thing I've Ever Seen; Know You Naked; When Did You Stop Loving Me?; Destiny; anything 4 u; Stuck; Sound of Rain; Good Parts; Let Me Know; Super Far / Mean It; Last Forever / Act My Age; 13; ILYSB; pink skies; Alonica; Thru These Tears; 'Cause You Have To; Malibu Nights; XXL.

At the Taipei Arena on 26 September 2026 (setlist.fm) the set was close to identical. "Hericane" took the place of "Good Parts", and a guest, Marz23, joined them on "Stuck".

On both nights they opened with "Soft" and ended with "Malibu Nights" and "XXL", with "13", "ILYSB" and "Thru These Tears" near the end. Setlists for the Hong Kong (30 September) and Tokyo (7 October) dates had not been posted when we checked.

Getting there and back

The Philippine Arena is in Ciudad de Victoria, north of Metro Manila in Bulacan, and both shows are on a weekend night. Getting home after an arena-sized crowd takes planning, so read our Philippine Arena concert guide for routes, parking and how people get back to the city. No official shuttle has been announced on Live Nation's pages as of 20 October 2026.
