Global pop sensation DAYA is set to light up Manila with a night of hit-driven pop and electrifying energy on her DAYA ‘Til Every Petal Drops Asia Tour’ in Manila—her long-awaited comeback in Manila, on July 15, 2026, at Skydome, SM North EDSA, presented by PULP Live World. Known for her chart-topping hits and emotionally charged performances that resonate both on record and on stage, the upcoming show promises a full-scale pop experience fans have long been waiting for.

DAYA IN MANILA 2026

Hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the American pop singer-songwriter DAYA (Grace Martine Tandon) broke into the international music scene and quickly established herself as a distinctive voice in modern pop. She first rose to prominence in 2015–2016 at just 16 years old, transitioning from a high school student to a global name with her breakout single “Hide Away”, which gained rapid online traction. This was followed by “Sit Still, Look Pretty”, an empowerment anthem that resonated with a generation navigating identity in an era defined by bold pop, party culture, and Tumblr aesthetics.

 

Her global reach grew even further with “Don’t Let Me Down,” her powerhouse collaboration with The Chainsmokers, which earned her a win at the Grammy Awards and launched her into international stardom, a momentum she continues to carry today.

 

Following early major-label success, DAYA has evolved into an artist who creates on her own terms, embracing themes of authenticity, independence, and self-discovery. Throughout her career, she has earned nominations from the Radio Disney Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and American Music Awards, with her 2017 Grammy win marking a defining moment in her contribution to global pop and dance music.

 

DAYA has also built a strong connection with Filipino fans through two memorable Manila performances. She first appeared at the In The Mix Music Festival in 2017, sharing the stage with acts such as 5 Seconds of Summer and Zara Larsson. She later returned in 2019 for an intimate show at XYLO at The Palace, delivering a closer, more personal set that highlighted her vocals and stage presence, further strengthening her growing fanbase in the Philippines.

 

Now, she’s bringing that same energy to Manila, this time louder, closer, and more alive than ever. As DAYA takes the Skydome stage, fans can expect a night of unforgettable pop moments, filled with soaring hooks, crowd-favorite hits, and powerful performances that highlight her growth as an artist while channeling the spirit of 2016—the era that first defined her sound.

 

DAYA ‘Til Every Petal Drops Asia Tour’ in Manila is happening on July 15, 2026, at Skydome, SM North EDSA. So be ready to secure your spots. Tickets will be available starting May 1, 2026, at 12PM PHT via SM Tickets outlets nationwide and online at smtickets.com.
