Martin Nievera, Jed Madela and Sofronio Vasquez together for 2027 countdown

MANILA, Philippines — Featuring three extraordinary voices and three distinct personalities, “VOIC3S: A New Year’s Special” welcomes 2027 in one unforgettable night of music, laughter and celebration at The Theatre at Solaire.

As the final hours of 2026 tick away, The Theatre at Solaire is preparing to welcome the new year with three of the Philippines’ most compelling vocal performers: Concert King Martin Nievera, World Champion singer Jed Madela, and “The Voice USA” champion Sofronio Vasquez.

The three powerhouse performers form VOIC3S, a musical collaboration (line produced by Starmedia Entertainment) that brings together different generations, vocal sensibilities and performance styles. More than a showcase of vocal excellence, the concert promises an evening of musical surprises, playful banter, timeless favorites and the kind of spontaneous fun that makes live entertainment unforgettable.

What makes VOIC3S particularly exciting is that its three leading artists are distinctly different, yet remarkably complementary. Each brings a signature sound and personality that, when combined, creates a dynamic all their own.

At the heart of the trio is Martin, the undisputed Concert King whose four decades in the music industry have made him one of the country’s most enduring entertainers. A seasoned vocalist and consummate performer, Martin combines vocal strength with an instinctive command of the stage and an extensive catalogue of hits that have become part of the Filipino musical landscape.

But Martin’s appeal goes beyond his singing. His quick wit, natural charisma and effortless rapport with audiences make him as entertaining between songs as he is while performing. He understands the art of building a moment, delivering an emotional ballad and turning a concert into a personal connection with the audience.

With Martin, experience is not simply measured in years; it is reflected in the confidence and artistry of a performer who knows exactly how to hold a room.

Then there is Jed, the World Champion singer, celebrated for his remarkable vocal range, crystal-clear tenor and seemingly effortless command of soaring high notes. His technical precision and ability to sustain powerful tones have established him as one of the country’s most respected vocalists.

Yet Jed’s artistry is not merely about hitting extraordinary notes. His clarity, discipline and musical sensitivity allow him to move comfortably across genres, from heartfelt ballads to demanding vocal showpieces. His international achievements are matched by a warm personality and understated humor that make him an engaging presence onstage.

Completing the trio is Sofronio, the youngest member and the historic winner of “The Voice USA” Season 26, becoming the first Filipino to claim the competition’s championship. His victory became a source of pride for Filipinos worldwide, bringing the country’s extraordinary singing talent to an international audience.

Sofronio brings a different kind of magic to VOIC3S. His voice combines remarkable power, rich emotional color and an unmistakable charm that makes a song feel personal. His expressive interpretations and affinity for timeless melodies resonate particularly well with audiences who appreciate the great ballads and classic pop songs of earlier generations.

Despite being the youngest, Sofronio possesses a musical sensibility that bridges generations. He can deliver a powerhouse vocal moment one minute and disarm an audience with his natural humor the next. His combination of vocal authority, emotional warmth and contemporary international recognition makes him a compelling addition to the formidable partnership.

Individually, each artist is a force in his own right. Together, they become something more.

VOIC3S thrives on the contrast between Martin’s seasoned showmanship, Jed’s precision and soaring tenor, and Sofronio’s vocal power and infectious charm. Their differences are precisely what makes the collaboration work. Whether in a shared harmony, a memorable ballad or a playful exchange, each brings out something different in the others.

And audiences can expect plenty of surprises.

The concert draws from an eclectic musical landscape encompassing iconic pop and R&B favorites, legendary vocal groups, beloved classics and theatrical showstoppers. From familiar international hits to songs that have defined generations, the program offers opportunities to rediscover favorite melodies through three distinctly different voices.

Some numbers will bring the trio together, while others will allow individual personalities to shine. The excitement lies in hearing how each artist interprets familiar material — and what happens when their voices meet. The evening also promises its share of humor, with Martin, Jed and Sofronio’s friendly teasing and willingness to poke fun at themselves adding an entertaining dimension to the musical spectacle.

Ultimately, the strength of VOIC3S lies in the understanding that a great concert needs more than great singing. It requires personality, chemistry, spontaneity and a genuine connection with its audience.

As 2026 gives way to 2027, that combination feels particularly fitting. Music brings people together, revives memories and creates new ones. It allows different generations to share the same melody, emotion and moment of joy.

With Martin, Jed and Sofronio leading the festivities, VOIC3S promises an evening where vocal excellence meets entertainment, nostalgia meets fresh energy and three distinct musical identities unite in one spectacular celebration.

At The Theatre at Solaire, the countdown to 2027 will be more than a moment marked by the clock. It will be a celebration carried by three remarkable voices, an audience ready to sing along, and the promise of a new year welcomed in grand musical style.

Three voices. Three personalities. Countless reasons to celebrate. Welcome 2027 with VOIC3S.
