MANILA, Philippines – Phoenix was back in Manila for another electrifying concert on August 15, performing for a crowd of Filipino fans at the Kia Theater.

The band played many fan favorites and newer tracks, which had the crowd dancing and singing loudly along to their energetic, uplifting sound. 

“Thank you for knowing all the lyrics,” vocalist Thomas Mars said at one point. “They don’t know all the lyrics back home like this. You’re the best. The best singing crowd.” 

Phoenix ended their Manila show with an never before heard encore of “For Di Latte,” telling the crowd, “You have been so good to us, you deserve a treat.”
