The nine-piece collective aims to revolutionize headline shows with an innovative mix of animation, film, and music performances
With an audio-visual spectacular that skillfully combines animation, film, and musical performances into a single immersive package, Filipino band Ben&Ben is poised to revolutionize the live concert experience. Their next performance at SM Mall of Asia Arena on December 14, 2024, is expected to be a first for the local music scene.
The concert will add a new layer to storytelling by fusing live music with state-of-the-art audiovisual components, drawing inspiration from their eagerly awaited third studio album, The Traveller Across Dimensions. This innovative concert will be conceptually and thematically based on the upcoming album, which pushes the limits of typical music releases.
In terms of the set selection, the event will offer a dynamic mix of crowd favorites, personal picks, and new songs from their recent album. In keeping with their distinctive sound, Ben&Ben have carefully chosen the songs on the lineup to complement the main plot. This contributes to the live stage’s ability to offer an integrated storytelling experience.
“We’re thrilled to share the story of Liwanag, the titular character in The Traveller Across Dimensions,” the nine-piece act explains in a collective statement. “We’ve shown a glimpse of this story in our “Triumph” music video, but the concert will reveal the full narrative in a way that no one has seen before.”
This special concert is designed to exude a cinematic experience, integrating the excitement of a live performance with the confines of filmmaking. Ben&Ben’s The Traveller Across Dimensions concert aims to elevate the theatricality of their previous shows, hinting at exploring new, interactive technology to further enhance the show.
“It’s also the first time we will be incorporating Liwanag LED wristbands as part of the immersive experience,” the critically acclaimed act shares. “We are working with Pixmob, the same tech provider as some of the international concerts we’ve attended in the past.”
In terms of the set list, the concert will feature a dynamic mix of crowd favorites, personal picks, and new songs from their latest album. In keeping up with their signature style, Ben&Ben have meticulously arranged the lineup of songs to align with the overarching narrative. This helps in bringing an integrated storytelling experience to the live stage.
“It’s a delicate balance between staying true to what fans love and offering something new,” the band adds. “We’re excited to bring these songs to life in a way that’s never been done before.”
