Grammy winner Chris Tomlin to hold Manila, Cebu concerts

MANILA, Philippines — Grammy-winning worship leader Chris Tomlin will return to the Philippines in April 2027 for concerts in Manila and Cebu.

Presented by Niche Music, Tomlin will perform at SM Seaside Cebu Arena on April 22, followed by a concert at SM Mall of Asia Arena on April 24. This will be his first show in the Visayas.

Tickets will go on sale on Nov. 7, 2026, at noon through SM Tickets. Fans may register in advance on Ticketmaster.

Known for songs such as “How Great Is Our God,” “Our God,” “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone),” “Indescribable,” “Jesus Messiah,” “Good Good Father” and “Holy Forever,” Tomlin has been a prominent figure in contemporary Christian worship for more than two decades.

His songs have been performed in churches worldwide and have become staples of contemporary worship music.

The upcoming concerts will mark Tomlin's return to the country after more than 15 years. They also form part of Niche Music's efforts to bring international worship artists to Filipino audiences, following its Bethel Music concerts in March 2026.

Mike Aguilar, president and CEO of Niche Music, said the promoter considers it a privilege to bring Tomlin back to the Philippines and stage his first concert in Cebu.

“Our prayer is that these concerts will be more than just musical gatherings. We hope they will be moments for people to come together in worship and, with one voice, proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Saviour,” Aguilar said.
