Gary V takes the stage for ‘Pure Energy:One Last Time’ tour

Legendary performer and inspirational icon Gary Valenciano, more known as Mr. Pure Energy, recently announced his concert project at SM Mall Of Asia Arena on 26 and 27 April.

Over the last four decades, Gary has become synonymous with chart-topping hits, high-energy performances and an unparalleled ability to connect with audiences in the Philippines and around the world. Gary's career has seen him grace some of the biggest stages in the world, from the Luneta Grandstand with over 500,000 in attendance to the Tamar Site in Hong Kong when he performed at the Hong Kong Harbor Music Festival in 2003.

Last year, Gary marked his 100th solo show at the Music Museum in a sold-out 10-night concert series "Gary V: Back At The Museum." From an initial run of four shows in August 2023, it was extended twice, underscoring his enduring appeal and the impact of his music and performances. He also received multiple standing ovations from jam-packed audiences during his most recent North American tour.

The title of Gary's upcoming MOA Arena concert, "Pure Energy: One Last Time," initially led many to assume the unthinkable: that he would officially retire from performing. However, he has clarified that while he's stepping back from headlining solo shows in large venues like arenas and domes, his passion for music and performing remains as strong as ever. In fact, he says that if he's invited to perform at large venues alongside other artists, he's all for it.

In a recent heartfelt post on his Instagram account, Gary shared: "I'm celebrating 40 years of doing what I've always loved most. And with gratitude in my heart for the One source of Pure Energy, I look forward to the new chapters, seasons, beginnings, and horizons that lie ahead. It's time…Let's Go Big…ONE LAST TIME!!!"

Tickets for "Pure Energy: One Last Time" are in high demand, and to make tickets available for the fans, the SM MOA Arena team reconfigured the venue seat plan six times to better accommodate the requests of ticket buyers. SM Tickets sold out all the premium seats on the weekend the tickets were released online. The Manila Genesis team, Gary's production and management group for 38 years, together with SM MOA Arena's ticketing team, has requested the fans to be patient as they try their best to adjust the massive stage design and video screens to open up more seats for sale.
