Ebe Dancel’s first solo concert in February is pushing through

MANILA, Philippines – Singer Ebe Dancel’s first solo concert with the Manila String Machine will be pushing through on February 29, the singer confirmed on Wednesday, February 19.

Dancel posted on his social media accounts a statement from the concert’s producer amid various event cancellations in the wake of the novel coronavirus outbreak. 

“The health, safety, and security of everyone remains our top priority. The safety protocols recommended by the DOH (Department of Health) will be implemented to make sure that we provide a safe environment for all members of the audience on the day of the show,” said the concert’s producers. 

Safety details will be emailed to concert goers, producers said.  

Several events – including music festivals – have been canceled in the Philippines as the world scrambles to contain the new virus.
