Ice Seguerra comes home with deeply personal memoir concert
Text size
After decades of music, memories, and milestones, Ice Seguerra is coming home — not just to a stage, but to the chapter where everything began.
On 27 February 2026, Ice returns to the iconic New Frontier Theater with Being Ice: Live!, a one-night memoir concert that promises more than a string of hit songs. It is a deeply personal evening of storytelling, laughter, reflection, and truth, told through music and lived experience.
“This isn’t just a concert,” Ice said. “It’s my story. It’s my heart. It’s everything I’ve been carrying all these years.”
For Ice, Cubao is more than a venue. It is a memory vault.
“All roads lead to Cubao, at para sa ‘kin dito nagsimula ang lahat — literally,” he said. “Pinapanood n’yo ako rito bilang child star, at ngayon, mapapanood n’yo muli ako bilang ako. This place won’t just remember me, it will hear me.”
From childhood stardom to becoming one of OPM’s most respected singer-songwriters, Ice’s journey has unfolded in public — sometimes joyful, sometimes painful, always honest. Being Ice: Live! gathers those moments and reshapes them into an intimate narrative onstage.
“This place watched me grow,” he added. “Now, I get to speak back to it — with my music, with my truth.”
Part of Ice’s enduring appeal is his ability to be both profound and playful. In recent interviews, he revisited some of the most unforgettable — and hilarious — chapters of his early career.
“Pucha, ‘yung pasusuutin ka ng mga pagirl… kadiri ‘yung itsura ko!” he said, laughing.
“Tapos may film kami ni Spencer noon… Computer Kombat. Kailangan naming mag-promote.”
He recalled an awkward on-air moment that still makes him smile.
“Sabi sa akin ni Spencer, ‘O, hahawakan ko yung kamay mo ha?’
Tapos biglang — umakbay! ‘Yung kilabot mula sa dulo ng puwet paakyat? Nasuntok ko siya! Nasiko ko talaga!”
Ice said he was later called out by his boss.
“Sabi niya, ‘Aiza, ‘wag mo namang sinusuntok si Spencer sa TV.’
Sabi ko, ‘Sorry po, lumabas lang po.’”
Moments like these — raw, funny, and real — will be woven into the concert, offering fans a rare look behind the spotlight.
Unlike a traditional concert, Being Ice: Live! is designed as a dialogue with the audience.
Between songs, Ice opens chapters of his life: childhood fame, creative struggles, identity, love, loss, and the courage it took to finally live authentically.
“This is me without filters,” he said. “No characters. No expectations. Just Ice.”
Fans can expect stripped-down arrangements, heartfelt performances, and stories that feel like late-night conversations with an old friend.
Adding to the night’s nostalgia are special guests whose presence reflects Ice’s deep roots in Philippine showbiz: Pops Fernandez, and comedy icons Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon.
“These people saw me grow,” Ice said. “Having them there means everything.”
Over the years, Ice has become a symbol of resilience and authenticity in the industry. His story is not simply about fame, but about survival, self-discovery, and choosing honesty in a world that often demands masks.
Being Ice: Live! is his way of saying thank you — to the fans who stayed, the critics who challenged him, and the younger version of himself who never gave up.
“This concert is for everyone who ever felt lost,” he said. “If I found my way, maybe you can too.”
On 27 February, the lights will dim, the first note will play, and Ice Seguerra will once again stand on the stage where it all began — this time, fully himself.
Not as a child star.
Not as a headline.
But simply as Ice.
And in that honesty, Being Ice: Live! promises to be more than a show — it is a homecoming, a confession, and a celebration of becoming.
