Pops, Joey G in Solaire countdown

MANILA, Philippines - Solaire presents two of the country’s pop music icons — Pops Fernandez and Joey Generoso of Side A — together in a show that will usher in 2014 with a bang. Titled Toast, the New Year’s Eve event will be a chain of extravaganzas happening all at the same time.

Already billed as this yearend’s most exciting event concept, Toast is an audiovisual overload according to Solaire event planners. All that and more while awaiting for the main event that unravels exactly at midnight following a countdown proper with Pops and Joey G.

Interestingly, Toast is also a convergence of notable “firsts” for Solaire and the performers themselves.

This will be Solaire’s first New Year’s Eve event of this magnitude for 2013, and the first time for Pops and Joey to share a stage for one spectacular concert adventure.

 Solaire will also be using state-of-the-art audiovisual tech oomph at the ballroom foyer and the Solaire Grand Ballroom to give Solaire revelers that pulsating party experience.

Music and entertainment won’t be a problem either as bands Marmalade with Anna Melissa and Puresounds will be playing, to while the time away before Pops and Joey G. mounts the stage.

Expect the show to be a consummate concert/party experience with no less than an eight-piece live band playing back-up to both concert stars as they groove to contemporary and retro dance music from different eras and more.

Stage design will be no ordinary outing as well.

They will figuratively let loose of the big guns with an elaborate concert stage armed with never-before-seen three-dimensional projections and mapping effects. The music and performances will be a spectacle to behold as technology and unrivalled showmanship and artistry combine to whet the appetite of the concert-phile in you. 

Revelers become part of the show with broadcast captures from all over the building’s activity areas beamed at LED screens strategically set up around the building as the countdown commences.

Toast tickets are available at Ticketworld (891-9999) and Solaire.
