A decades-long bond with Fra Lippo Lippi's music

Few international artists have built as enduring a connection with the Philippines as "Fra Lippo Lippi." For decades, the Norwegian band’s hits such as "Everytime I See You, Later, Beauty and Madness, and Light and Shade," have been part of life’s meaningful moments. These songs are often sung at weddings, road trips, quiet nights, and karaoke gatherings, creating memories that span generations.

For lead vocalist Per Sørensen, the Philippines has always felt like a second home. “The energy here is unlike anywhere else,” he said. “Filipino fans have a way of singing from the heart. Every show feels personal.” This deep connection keeps the band returning to Manila and other key cities. Per sees every performance as a chance to celebrate the passion of Filipino audiences and the long-standing bond between the country and the band.

Outside of music, Sørensen has shown genuine concern for the Filipino people. He has followed recent events and expressed empathy for victims of floods and earthquakes. His care extends beyond the stage and reflects the respect and gratitude he feels toward the country.

This year’s Fra Lippo Lippi Live in Manila concert on 24 October at The Theatre at Solaire will introduce new creative elements. Fans can expect visual scenes that match the emotion of each song, rare archival footage that highlights the band’s journey, and a concert format combining live music with storytelling for a fully immersive experience.

The event is not just a concert but a celebration of decades of music, friendship, and shared memories. Fra Lippo Lippi’s return to the Philippines shows that the love between the band and its fans remains strong and timeless.

Tickets are available at TicketWorld and the Solaire Box Office.
