ASAP XP Australia has come and gone—and what an extraordinary celebration it was.
On 25 July 2026, the TikTok Entertainment Centre in Sydney became the epicentre of Filipino entertainment as ABS-CBN Global, ABS-CBN Studios, and TFC Australia, New Zealand & The Pacific presented one of the biggest Filipino concerts ever staged in Australia. Featuring two spectacular sold-out performances at 12:30 pm and 7:00 pm, ASAP XP Australia brought together more than 30 of the Philippines’ biggest stars for an unforgettable showcase of music, dance, comedy, and heartfelt moments.
The all-star lineup featured some of the most recognisable names in Filipino entertainment, including Anne Curtis, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, Ogie Alcasid, Kim Chiu, Donny Pangilinan, Belle Mariano, James Reid, Darren Espanto, TJ Monterde, Moira Dela Torre, KZ Tandingan, Kyle Echarri, Maymay Entrata, Paulo Avelino, Alexa Ilacad, AC Bonifacio, Angeline Quinto, Erik Santos, Jhong Hilario, Robi Domingo, Vhong Navarro, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Sofronio Vasquez, Jona Viray, Klarisse de Guzman, Elha Nympha, Esang, Kai Montinola, Maki, Carmelle Collado, and Melai Cantiveros.
From the opening number to the final encore, the atmosphere inside the venue was electric. Thousands of fans sang along to every hit song, cheered for their favourite stars, and celebrated Filipino talent on an international stage. The production delivered everything audiences have come to expect from ASAP—breathtaking performances, seamless production values, dazzling choreography, and unforgettable collaborations.
One of the evening’s most memorable highlights came when the legendary ASAP Icons—Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, Regine Velasquez-Alcasid, Ogie Alcasid, and Zsa Zsa Padilla—shared the stage for a powerhouse performance that showcased decades of musical excellence. Their vocal mastery, commanding stage presence, and undeniable chemistry reminded everyone why they remain among the most respected performers in the industry.
The next generation of Filipino performers also had their chance to shine. The New Gen Divas—Esang, Elha Nympha, Alexa Ilacad, Kai Montinola, and Carmelle Collado—delivered an energetic and vocally impressive performance that demonstrated the incredible depth of emerging Filipino talent. Their confidence, charisma, and vocal prowess earned enthusiastic applause from the audience and highlighted the bright future of Original Pilipino Music.
Perhaps one of the most emotional moments of the night belonged to Anne Curtis. Making her first-ever live performance in Australia—the country where she was born and spent part of her childhood—Anne received a thunderous standing ovation from thousands of fans. The emotional homecoming added another layer of significance to an already unforgettable evening.
Anne captivated the audience with a fearless and confident performance that perfectly matched her reputation as one of Philippine entertainment’s most versatile stars. Her return to Australia was more than just another concert appearance; it became a heartfelt celebration between a beloved performer and the country that helped shape her early years. One word perfectly captured the moment: fearless.
The concert wasn’t all about music. ASAP XP Australia also showcased its trademark blend of comedy and entertainment through one of the funniest segments of the evening—a playful reimagining of the iconic Meteor Garden. The cast introduced audiences to the hilarious fictional group IF4, a tongue-in-cheek take on the legendary F4.
In the comedic dream cast, Melai Cantiveros stepped into the role of the lovable Shan Cai, while Donny Pangilinan hilariously portrayed Dao Ming Si, Robi Domingo became Hua Ze Lei, Darren Espanto transformed into Xi Men, and Kyle Echarri completed the quartet as Mei Zuo. The audience erupted with laughter throughout the skit, proving that ASAP continues to excel not only in music but also in creating memorable entertainment moments that bring fans together.
Romantic ballads, powerful vocal performances, high-energy dance numbers, and surprise collaborations ensured there was never a dull moment throughout both shows. Every performer brought their own unique style and charisma to the stage, creating a concert experience that appealed to multiple generations of fans.
The event also reinforced the enduring connection between Filipinos living abroad and the entertainment that reminds them of home. Families, friends, and supporters from across Australia gathered to celebrate Filipino culture through music and performance, creating an atmosphere filled with pride, nostalgia, and unity.
With world-class production, an extraordinary lineup of artists, unforgettable musical performances, and moments that ranged from emotional to laugh-out-loud hilarious, ASAP XP Australia exceeded expectations and cemented itself as one of the most significant Filipino entertainment events ever held in Australia.
As the lights dimmed and the final bows were taken, one thing became abundantly clear: ASAP XP Australia wasn’t simply a concert—it was a celebration of Filipino artistry, culture, and community on a truly spectacular scale. For everyone fortunate enough to witness it live, it was an experience that will be remembered for years to come.
