Alternative rock icon Kitchie Nadal will headline her first solo concert at Araneta Coliseum on June 21, marking a major milestone in her two-decade career. The surprise announcement came with tantalizing details about special guests joining her onstage and the promise of new music debuts, building on the momentum of last year’s sold-out homecoming show at New Frontier Theater.
Nadal has carved her legacy through a signature blend of emotive rock and raw vulnerability, influencing generations of Filipino musicians by writing hits like “Huwag na Huwag Mong Sasabihin,” “Same Ground,” and “Bulong.” Beginning in alternative rock staples like Mojofly, her career spans genre experiments, band collaborations, and intimate solo performances – all unified by her distinctive songwriting voice. She helped pioneer a movement of female artists who transformed the local rock scene, alongside contemporaries like Barbie Almalbis, Aia de Leon, and Acel Bisa. Their collective impact through projects like the Tanaw concert series has cemented their status as vital forces in Philippine music history.
The “New Ground” concert title reflects both Nadal’s evolution and her continued musical exploration. In a career-first as a headliner, the Araneta stage provides the perfect platform for an artist who has consistently pushed boundaries while staying true to her artistic core.
Tickets are now available through Ticketnet.
