HIGHLIGHT to Hold [RIDE OR DIE] Live in Manila This August 2025

HIGHLIGHT is returning to Manila this year for their 2025 tour RIDE OR DIE, happening on August 23 at 6:00 PM at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Highlight originally debuted in 2009 as the six-member group Beast under Cube Entertainment, gaining popularity with tracks like Shock and Fiction. After their contracts with Cube ended in 2017, the members launched their own agency, Around Us Entertainment, and rebranded as Highlight. The rights to the name Beast remained with their former label at the time. In 2024, the group finally reclaimed the rights to their original name, Beast.

Highlight currently consists of Yoon Doojoon, Yang Yoseob, Lee Gikwang and Son Dongwoon. Former member Jang Hyunseung left the group in 2016, while Yong Junhyung departed in 2019. In April 2025, the four-member group made a comeback with the extended play From Real to Surreal.

From their beginnings as Beast to their evolution into Highlight, the members have continued to release music that resonates with fans. Their discography includes hit songs like Shock, Fiction, BODY and their latest title track Chains. Over the years, they’ve built a strong following through consistent music and performance, while maintaining their connection with fans both in South Korea and internationally.
