MANILA, Philippines — Swedish singer Zara Larsson is coming back to the Philippines for her first solo concert.

The Grammy-nominated artist announced last month that her ongoing "Midnight Sun" tour, promoting her fifth album of the same name, would be having an Asian leg.

Concert promoter Live Nation Philippines (LNPH) later confirmed that a Manila return was eyed to formally close the tour.

Larsson will be performing at the Araneta Coliseum on October 30, 2026, a day before Halloween. It will be the tour's penultimate stop before the Thai capital Bangkok on November 1.

LNPH also unveiled the seat map for Larsson's Big Dome show and the ticketing sections' corresponding prices:

All prices are inclusive of ticketing charges, allocated chairs (except Floor), and reserved seating (except for General Admission).

A Soundcheck VIP Package worth P15,250 is available, which includes a Floor ticket, priority merchandise shopping, early entry and pre-show sound check access, an exclusive merchandise gift, and an autographed VIP tour laminate and lanyard.

These are the following ticket selling dates:

Larsson's first Philippine visit was nearly a decade ago for the "In The Mix 2017" music festival at the Mall of Asia Arena, which also featured Dua Lipa, DNCE, Two Door Cinema Club, 5 Seconds of Summer, and Daya.

The singer rose to fame back in 2008 as a child after winning the second season of Swedish talent competition "Talang."

She released her debut extended play in 2013, where lead single "Uncover" was certified six-times platinum in her home country. She followed it up the follwing year in 2014 with her debut album "1" carrying hit singles "Carry You Home" and "Rooftop."

Larsson gained international attention with "Lush Life," the lead single off her sophomore album "So Good" from 2017. In the same year, she was featured on Clean Bandit's "Symphony."

After making her acting debut in 2024 for local Netflix drama film "A Part of You," Larsson released "Midnight Sun," which earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Pop Recording. She also collaborated with PinkPantheress on the latter's "Stateside."

Her other popular songs are "Ain't My Fault," "Ruin My Life," "I Would Like," "Like It Is," and "On My Love."
