In an exciting update for music fans, the acclaimed Filipino indie folk-pop band, Ben&Ben, is set to perform as a special guest at Ed Sheeran's highly anticipated concert in Manila. Scheduled for March 9 at the SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque City, this event marks a significant collaboration between the international music scene and the Philippines' own vibrant talent.

Ben&Ben, known for their heartfelt lyrics and harmonious melodies, expressed their excitement and disbelief at the opportunity to share the stage with Ed Sheeran, recalling their humble beginnings and a cover of Sheeran's hit song "Perfect" that they once shared on YouTube. "Never in our wildest dreams did we think this could happen," the band stated, highlighting the surreal nature of this upcoming performance.

The concert is part of Ed Sheeran's + - = ÷ x Tour, bringing the English singer-songwriter back to Manila for what promises to be an unforgettable night of music. Alongside Ben&Ben, the event will also feature a special performance by Calum Scott, adding to the star-studded lineup.

Due to the overwhelming demand for tickets, Ovation Productions, the concert promoter, has announced the release of new seats and additional General Admission tickets to accommodate more fans. This will be Ed Sheeran's third performance in Manila, following his visits in 2015 and 2018, and a virtual appearance on "All-Out Sundays" in 2021. Reflecting on his past experiences in the Philippines, Sheeran shared, "The first time I came to the Philippines, I've never ever felt that much love from a place ever," underscoring the deep connection he has with his Filipino fans.

This collaboration between Ben&Ben and Ed Sheeran highlights the cross-cultural exchange in the music industry, showcasing the talents of local artists on an international platform and promising an evening filled with passion, creativity, and world-class performances.
