Six-time GRAMMYยฎ Award-winning trio and one of the best-selling groups of all time, BLACK EYED PEAS is finally coming to Manila on August 27, 2025 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Presented by Wilbros Live. Tickets go on sale on Saturday, March 15, 12PM via SMTickets.com and SM Tickets outlets nationwide.
Over the past 30 years, the Los Angeles trioโwill.i.am, Apl.de.Ap, and Tabooโhave achieved sales of 35 million albums and 120 million singles across seminal releases such as Elephunk, The E.N.D., and more. One of the eraโs biggest acts, they emerged as โthe second best-selling artist/group of all-time for downloaded tracksโ (Nielsen) and landed on Billboardโs โHot 100 Artists of the Decadeโ. In 2011, they dazzled the world with a landmark performance at the Super Bowl XLV Halftime Show.
They have released several chart-topping hits, including โI Gotta Feelingโ, โWhere is the Love?โ, โPump Itโ, โBoom Boom Powโ, โMy Humpsโ, โMeet Me Halfwayโ, โLetโs Get It Startedโ, โThe Time (Dirty Bit)โ, โDonโt Stop The Partyโ, and many more.
Their eighth studio album, TRANSLATION, achieved staggering international success after its release in 2020. Featuring major collaborations with artists such as J Balvin, Ozuna, Maluma, Shakira, Nicky Jam, and Tyga, the long-player garnered eight nominations at the Billboard Latin Music Awards, including โCrossover Artist of the Yearโ and โHot Latin Song of the Yearโ for โRITMOโ and a nomination at the 2021 Latin Music Awards for โโFavorite Artists โ Crossoverโ. The album resulted in a series of chart-topping singles, including the massively successful โRITMO (Bad Boys For Life)โ [feat. J Balvin] and โMAMACITAโ [feat. Ozuna and J.Rey Soul], both of which achieved #1 status on three Billboard Charts each, numerous award nominations, and gold, platinum, and diamond certifications globally. The knockout album single from December 2020, โGIRL LIKE MEโ [feat. Shakira] continued this streak, achieving success on Latin and Top 40 radio, sparking a viral TikTok challenge in late 2020, and scooping โBest Latinโ award at the MTV VMAs, while 2021โs โHIT ITโ with Saweetie and Lele Pons racked up 5.8M global audio streams, 1.1M US audio streams and almost 10M YouTube views in its first week alone.
The success of TRANSLATION demonstrated Black Eyed Peasโ ability to reinvent themselves along with the changing times, a fact reconfirmed in 2022 when the band reunited with Shakira and David Guetta for DONโT YOU WORRY, the first single to drop from their ninth studio album ELEVATION. The hugely successful lead single was swiftly followed by the Anitta and El Alfa collaboration SIMPLY THE BEST. In 2023 true BEP fashion, harnessing the musical forces of the Americas, the next single BAILAR CONTIGO (with reggaeton superstar Daddy Yankee) followed by GUARANTEE (SUMMER MIX), has opened up yet another brilliant chapter in the continuing story of the Black Eyed Peas in nothing less than international chart-topping style.
