Jason Mraz Reunites with Filipino Fans in Manila After Seven Years
After seven years, American singer-songwriter Jason Mraz finally returned to the Philippines for his Jason Mraz: Asia Tour 2026 in Manila, held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on October 27, 2026.
The concert brought together longtime fans and new listeners for a night filled with familiar songs, heartfelt moments, and sing-alongs. From his biggest hits to some of his earlier tracks, he performed songs that many fans have listened to and loved over the years.
Jason Mraz opened the show with “Love Someone,” followed by the uplifting “Have It All.” With his guitar and band accompanying him, the singer immediately set the mood for an evening of good music and memories.

He also made the crowd laugh with his playful interactions. Before singing “Unlonely,” Mraz had a special message for fans who attended the concert alone, joking that he would be their date for the night.
One of the highlights of the evening was his acoustic set, where Mraz took song requests from the audience. With just his guitar, he performed “Be Honest” and “Plane,” giving fans a chance to enjoy a more intimate side of his music. He also treated the crowd to “Sleeping to Dream” and “Living in the Moment.”

The energy picked up as Mraz performed “Curbside Prophet,” “The Remedy,” “3 Things,” and “Unfold.” The singer continued to entertain the audience with his easygoing personality, even expressing his appreciation with a warm “Salamat po,” which earned loud cheers from Filipino fans.
He went on to perform “A Beautiful Mess” and “Song for a Friend,” before slowing things down with “Quiet.”
Aside from singing, Mraz also shared a little about how he writes his music. He explained that he sometimes uses similar chords for different songs, but gives each one its own message and melody. He demonstrated this through performances of “Look for the Good,” “Life Is Wonderful,” and “Bella Luna.”

Of course, fans were especially excited to hear some of his most popular songs. The crowd sang along to “Lucky,” danced to “I Feel Like Dancing,” and clapped along to “Make It Mine” and “Butterfly.”
Another memorable part of the concert came when thousands of fans switched on their phone flashlights during “Details in the Fabric” and “93 Million Miles,” lighting up the arena. Then performed “I Won’t Give Up,” which brought the main set to a close.
But the night wasn’t over just yet.
Fans continued cheering and calling for another song, with some shouting “Isa pa!” and his band eventually returned to the stage for one last performance of his hit song “I’m Yours.”
The crowd joined in for a final sing-along, making it one of the most memorable moments of the night.

Before saying goodbye, he thanked everyone who came to the show, including fans who traveled from other islands just to see him perform. He also took time to interact with the audience, signing albums and giving away guitar picks.
After seven years away from the Philippine concert stage, Jason Mraz’s return to Manila was a special reunion with his Filipino fans. From singing along to old favorites to hearing his music live once again, the concert gave the audience plenty of moments to remember.
