World's No. 1 DJ will rock MANILA!

BREAKING NEWS!

Get set for what is touted as “the best dance party ever” when David Guetta, considered as the world’s No. 1 deejay, raises Electronic Dance Music to another level while sharing his music and passion with party-goers. The event will happen on Oct. 10, 2012, at the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena.

Guetta is credited for “crossing countless club records over” and helping make dance music as big as it is today. He changed the sound of (dance) music in the USA. Titanium, his recent multi-platinum hit (No. 1 in UK) featuring Sia, has become the longest-charting dance hit single since Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

This Grammy-winning artist and producer, whose first major hit came over a decade ago, now boasts of an endless list of chart-topping hits and has produced five studio albums. His album Nothing But the Beat is also a certified seven-time-platinum worldwide. It features collaborations with will.i.am, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Flo Rida, Taio Cruz, Jessie J, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown, Akon, Rihanna, rapper Kid Cudi and other top artists.

Guetta has headlined some of the world’s premier music festivals such as California’s Coachella Music Festival, the Electric Daisy Carnival and Electric Zoo in Las Vegas and New York, Creamfields in UK/Argentina and Belgium’s Tomorrowland. Those behind Music Management, Inc. (MMI), the show’s producer, said that they want to share with Manila the same dance experience as that in international festivals. MMI will also announce in the coming weeks the participation of other international DJs. “As I said,” added an MMI executive, “this will indeed be the biggest dance party ever to be held in Manila. Promise!” (David Guetta 10.10.12 is presented by MMI, in cooperation with AEDI, Saga Events, Fox and Starworld, with special thanks to The Philippine STAR, Yahoo Phils, Circuit Magazine and MMIlive.

Lady Gaga live in Manila extended one more day! May 21 & 22, 2012

Due to the overwhelming response from millions of fans, the upcoming Manila concert of Lady Gaga on May 21 at the new SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City has been extended with the addition of a second and final show set for May 22, it was announced by Ovation Productions.

In a statement released yesterday, the local promoter of The Born This Way Ball tour produced internationally by Live Nation, confirmed that a second performance on May 22 has been added to the original one-night gig in order to accommodate the huge demand from concert-goers.

Tickets for the May 22 show will go on sale starting May 1 at 12 noon at all SM Tickets outlets nationwide.

The awesome response from fans reflects similar reactions from audiences in other cities elsewhere since the brand-new tour of the five-time Grammy Award winner kicked off on April 27 in Seoul Korea. Succeeding shows in Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan have also been sold out, while the concert in Manila has been extended.

SM Tickets has announced that UPPER BOX SECTION is now RESERVED SEATING. For those who already bought tickets, we have allocated sections 401-403B/422-420B as your designated area. These sections will still be on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS for those tickets bearing FREE SEATING.

Last May 20, 2012, I got my Upper Box Ticket which costs Php5,280 *reserved seat* in SM Megamall. I think it is just a win-win instance because i don't need to go to the venue too early to get a seat because i have a designated seat for the show. Unfortunately, I really don't know who are the people beside my seat. Haha! Probably, I'll just enjoy the show.

Before Gaga kicked off the the Born This Way Ball tour is Seoul, Korea last night, there was great speculation as to the setlist of the show. Monsters didn’t know what songs Gaga would be playing. Last night’s show already became the 2nd highest attendance of fans to a concert in Korea. Michael Jackson is 1st. Gaga said she would be singing songs from all three of her albums, and after the Born This Way Ball last night, we now know the official setlist!

Knowing from Gaga’s previous performances, it is possible that she could change the setlist to suit her for a show, so it is subject to change.
