Singapore-based singer-songwriter and producer Lullaboy is coming back to Manila to stage a concert at Teatrino Promenade in Greenhills, San Juan as part of his “Hotels & Heartbreaks” Asia tour.

Singapore-based singer-songwriter and producer Lullaboy is returning to Manila on July 17, 2026 for the local stop of his "Hotels & Heartbreaks" Asia tour at Teatrino Promenade in Greenhills, San Juan.

The Manila concert is part of a nine-city regional tour supporting his third studio album, Hotels & Heartbreaks, which has already taken him across Southeast and East Asia, with stops in Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.

Known for his heartfelt songwriting, Lullaboy has amassed more than 200 million streams and built a growing fanbase across the region through songs centered on love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

Born in the United States, raised in Singapore, and of Indonesian-Chinese heritage, the Berklee College of Music graduate has performed at major festivals and headline shows across Asia. He was also selected to perform at the official afterparties for all six Singapore dates of Taylor Swift's “The Eras Tour.”

The “Hotels & Heartbreaks” concert is designed as an immersive live experience that combines music and storytelling. Inspired by the album's central theme, the show invites audiences to "check in hurt and check out healed," taking fans through a journey of heartbreak, reflection, and hope.

Lullaboy said the concept for the album came from moments of solitude while touring. He shared, "I was staying in all these beautiful hotels while touring. At the end of the day, I'd lie on my bed and ask myself, 'What's it all for?' You can achieve your biggest dreams, but if you don't have love or someone to share them with, it does not necessarily bring happiness."

Despite exploring heartbreak, he describes the album as "an album of hope."

The Philippines has become one of Lullaboy's favorite places to perform. Before launching his music career, he visited the country through mission work as a young worship leader. He returned last year for his first Manila concert and said the response from Filipino fans left a lasting impression.

"I remember telling myself that one day I would come back here as an artist. Then last year, I finally did my first concert in Manila, and I was blown away by how much warmth there was from the people. They sing really loud, they have beautiful voices. I've been waiting for this moment. I think the 'Lullafam' knows how much I love the Philippines.”

Fans attending the July 17 show can expect a setlist featuring songs from Hotels & Heartbreaks, alongside some of his fan favorites. For first-time listeners, Lullaboy recommends starting with "Someone Like You," followed by "Shortcut to Heaven" and "Heaven" to experience the emotional arc of the album.

Reflecting on the message behind the tour, Lullaboy said, "Heartbreak isn't the end. It's something we all need to go through because it teaches us what truly matters. If I can get through heartbreak, anybody can."
