BABYMONSTER Plays Manila for the First Time This Saturday
BABYMONSTER brings its "Choom" World Tour to the Philippines for the first time this Saturday, with the group set to headline SM Mall of Asia Arena on Sept. 5. Ticket tiers span 3,500 to 16,500 Philippine pesos, and general sale has been open since June.
Show Details
Sept. 5 (Sat), 7 p.m. - SM Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines
Tickets
Philippines: General admission runs from ₱3,500 (Box Regular) to ₱13,750 for standard reserved tiers, through SM Tickets, promoted by Live Nation Philippines.
An SVIP Package (₱16,500) includes a standing-area ticket, access to the pre-show soundcheck, a VIP laminate and lanyard, priority merchandise shopping, and a photo card with a printed signature.
Fan-club and Mastercard presales ran between June 1 and June 3; general on-sale opened June 4 through SM Tickets outlets nationwide and remains the only official channel - buyers should be wary of unofficial resale listings ahead of the show.
Manila is one of five cities added to the "Choom" World Tour as first-ever headlining stops for the group, alongside Macau, Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney, when YG Entertainment expanded the itinerary on May 11. The Manila date follows a run through Seoul, Kobe, Fukuoka, Yokohama, Chiba and Nagoya since the tour opened in June, and comes a week and a half before BABYMONSTER's first solo dome shows, a two-night stand at Kyocera Dome Osaka on Sept. 22-23.
From Manila, the tour heads to Macau on Sept. 12, with additional Southeast Asian and Oceania dates - including Jakarta, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur - scheduled through the rest of the year.
BABYMONSTER debuted in 2024 under YG Entertainment and built its global following on tracks including "SHEESH," "Drip" and "Batter Up." The seven-member lineup - Ruka, Pharita, Asa, Ahyeon, Rora, Rami and Chiquita - last toured North America and Asia on 2025's "Hello Monsters" run, which drew roughly 300,000 fans across 32 shows but did not include a Philippine stop. Member Rami has been on a health-related hiatus from group activities since May 2025; YG Entertainment has not said whether she will join the Manila performance.
