98 Degrees Returns to Manila for Two-Night Concert This May

American pop group 98 Degrees is set to return to Manila for a two-night concert on May 30 and 31 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.

The group, known for hits from the late ’90s and early 2000s, will perform their best-loved songs. This marks their first show in the Philippines in several years. The concert is produced by Viva Live in partnership with Alden Richards’ production company.

Filipino artists Katrina Velarde and Janine Teñoso will also join the concert as guest performers. Earlier this year, Velarde recorded a Taglish version of “I Do (Cherish You)” with the group. Her version featured her distinct vocal style and a Tagalog verse.

98 Degrees is made up of Jeff Timmons, Justin Jeffre, and brothers Nick and Drew Lachey. The band is best known for songs like “Invisible Man,” “Because of You,” “The Hardest Thing,” and “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche).” They also collaborated with Mariah Carey on “Thank God I Found You.”

Their Manila stop is part of a global tour for their upcoming album Full Circle. The album includes a mix of new songs and updated versions of past hits. In an interview with PEOPLE, the band said they’re focused on making music that reflects where they are now.

Drew said they wanted to keep the group’s signature harmonies and focus on strong melodies and storytelling. Justin added that some of the new tracks were written by Nick and Drew, giving the album a more personal feel.

Earlier this year, the group celebrated the 25th anniversary of “Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)” by recreating a photo from their 2000 Revelation album era. In a post, they thanked fans and said they’re grateful to still be performing after nearly 25 years.
