Barbie Almalbis and Kitchie Nadal are reuniting onstage for CROSSFADE, a one-night concert that will blend the music that made them fixtures of Pinoy rock with songs from the latest chapters of their careers.
The two singer-songwriters will take over Matchpoint Sports Bar and Events in Mandaluyong City on October 11, with each artist performing an extended set in a more intimate setting.
Instead of building the evening purely around nostalgia, CROSSFADE will move between generations of their music. Longtime favorites will share the set with newer releases, highlighting how Almalbis and Nadal have continued to develop their respective sounds years after making their mark on the local alternative scene.
The upcoming concert adds another chapter to the pair’s history of sharing the stage.
Almalbis and Nadal previously appeared together in the first two editions of Secrets at the Music Museum. They later joined forces again for the two-part Tanaw series, which gathered artists associated with Philippine rock and alternative pop.
This time, the spotlight will be squarely on the two artists and their individual musical journeys.
The concept behind CROSSFADE is to connect different eras and influences through songs audiences have carried with them over the years, while making room for the material Almalbis and Nadal are producing today.
For fans who discovered their music during the height of the Philippine alternative-rock wave, the show offers a reunion with familiar favorites. For those encountering their work more recently, it presents both artists beyond their best-known songs.
Tickets are priced at P1,600. The concert will be primarily standing-room, with limited seats available on a first-come, first-served basis.
