A celebrated tribute act dedicated to reviving the music of iconic soft rock group Bread is set to bring its live show to the Philippines this August, with stops at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on 12 August and the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel on 15 August.
The performance features TOAST, a band widely recognized for its remarkably close replication of Bread’s signature sound. Known for their near-identical vocal blend and instrumentation, the group has built a reputation for recreating the experience of hearing the original recordings performed live on stage.
Bread, credited with shaping the soft rock movement of the early 1970s, produced a string of enduring hits that continue to enjoy airplay and strong fan following across generations. Their catalog includes timeless favorites such as “Make It With You,” “If,” “Baby I’m-a Want You” and “Everything I Own.”
Audience reactions from past TOAST performances have highlighted the emotional impact of the show, with fans describing the experience as remarkably authentic and deeply nostalgic. Many have noted how the concert evokes memories tied to the original songs, with some calling the performances “spot on” and “over the top amazing,” while others praised the show’s respectful tribute to Bread’s legacy and David Gates’ songwriting.
The upcoming concerts will feature a setlist packed with Bread classics, including “Aubrey,” “Sweet Surrender,” “It Don’t Matter to Me,” “Clouds,” “Mother Freedom,” “Guitar Man,” “Games of Magic,” “Lost Without Your Love” and “The Goodbye Girl,” among others that remain popular with Filipino audiences.
Singer-songwriter Noel Cabangon will join as special guest for the Philippine shows.
