Sparkle expands 2026 lineup

Sparkle GMA Artist Center is set to bring its artists back to international audiences as the Sparkle World Tour returns in 2026 with performances scheduled across Canada and Australia.

The latest edition of the tour follows the success of previous overseas shows and aims to reunite Kapuso stars with Filipino communities abroad through concerts and cultural celebrations.

The tour begins in Toronto, where Sparkle talents will perform during the annual Taste of Manila festival on 15 to 16 August at the Wilson Avenue and Bathurst Street grounds. Taking the stage are Miguel Tanfelix, Jillian Ward, Shuvee Etrata, Rochelle Pangilinan, Paul Salas, Jessica Villarubin and Beki Velo, who are expected to deliver a mix of music, dance and comedy throughout the two-day event.

From Toronto, the artists head to Calgary for Fiesta Filipino 2026, which runs from 4 to 7 September at Eau Claire Plaza. Rochelle Pangilinan, Paul Salas and Shuvee Etrata will represent Sparkle at one of Canada's largest celebrations of Filipino heritage, joining festivities that highlight culture, entertainment and community.

The international tour concludes in Australia in November with Ai-Ai delas Alas leading her much-anticipated Tanging Ina Mo Tour. The veteran actress and comedian is scheduled to perform in Sydney on 20 November, Canberra on 21 November, Brisbane on 27 November and Melbourne on 28 November, bringing her signature brand of comedy to Filipino audiences across the country.

Sparkle World Tour remains one of the talent management company's flagship international initiatives, giving overseas Filipinos the opportunity to watch homegrown performers live while celebrating Filipino talent and culture beyond the Philippines.

The 2026 tour is mounted by Sparkle GMA Artist Center in partnership with Taste of Manila, Fiesta Filipino, StarShine Entertainment Production and GMA Pinoy TV.
