F4 Fever Is On as ‘F✦FOREVER’ Brings Mandopop Era to Philippine Arena
Filipino fans who grew up with Meteor Garden now have a rare chance to relive one of Asian pop culture’s biggest obsessions live.
Live Nation Philippines has announced the ticketing details for “F✦FOREVER 1st World Tour in Manila,” the highly anticipated concert featuring Jerry Yan, Van Ness Wu, and Vic Chou of F4, together with Ashin of the Taiwanese rock band Mayday. The show is set for June 27, 2026, at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
The concert marks a major nostalgia event for fans of the original Meteor Garden, the Taiwanese drama that became a cultural phenomenon across Asia and turned its leading men into household names. For many Filipinos, F4 was more than a boy band; they were part of a defining early 2000s pop culture moment, with Dao Ming Si, Hua Ze Lei, Mei Zuo, and Xi Men becoming familiar names to a generation of viewers.
The Manila stop will feature three original F4 members: Jerry Yan, who played Dao Ming Si; Vic Chou, who played Hua Ze Lei; and Van Ness Wu, who played Mei Zuo. Original member Ken Chu is not part of the concert lineup. Joining the group is Ashin, the frontman of Mayday, adding another layer of star power to a show already built on nostalgia, Mandopop history, and fan anticipation.
Ticket prices range from P1,500 for UBD Restricted View to P21,500 for Floor Seated. Other ticket tiers include VIP Seated, LBA Premium, LBA Regular, LBB Premium, LBB Regular, UBA, UBB, UBC, and restricted-view sections. The Live Nation Philippines presale will begin on May 23, 2026, at 12 noon, while the general onsale is scheduled on May 24, 2026, at 12 noon through SM Tickets online and outlets nationwide.
The choice of venue also signals the scale of the event. The Philippine Arena, which has a listed capacity of 55,000, has hosted some of the country’s biggest concerts and mass gatherings, making it a fitting stage for a reunion-style show expected to draw fans from different generations.
F4 first rose to fame through Meteor Garden, before becoming one of Asia’s most recognizable Mandopop acts. Their songs, including “Meteor Rain,” “Can’t Lose You,” and their Mandarin version of “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” remain strongly associated with the drama’s emotional pull and the height of the early 2000s Asian drama wave.
More than two decades later, “F✦FOREVER” is shaping up as more than a concert. For longtime fans, it is a reunion with a soundtrack, a memory, and an era. For younger audiences, it is a chance to witness the group whose popularity helped open the door for Asian dramas and Mandopop idols to reach massive regional audiences.
With ticket selling beginning this weekend, the message to fans is clear: prepare your wallets, refresh those ticketing pages, and get ready for a night built on nostalgia, star power, and the enduring magic of F4.
