More than two decades since they last sent Filipino fans into a frenzy, F4 is officially making its way back to Manila. 

The group, now performing as a trio composed of Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, and Vanness Wu, is bringing the F4EVER 1st World Tour to the Philippines in 2026, marking a long-awaited reunion with a fanbase that helped define their early 2000s dominance across Asia.

The announcement was made on April 6 by Taiwan-based label B’in Music, confirming Manila as one of the key stops in the tour’s Asian leg. While the exact date, venue, and ticket details have yet to be revealed, early confirmations have already stirred anticipation online, especially among fans who remember the group’s peak popularity during the height of Meteor Garden.

First aired locally in 2003, the series reshaped viewing habits in the Philippines and helped usher in the Asianovela era. The show’s success translated into a cultural wave culminating in F4’s historic Manila visit that drew massive crowds and unprecedented public attention at the time. Their return now carries both nostalgia and renewed curiosity, especially after their brief full-group appearance in 2025.

This upcoming tour also celebrates the group’s 25th anniversary, bringing with it a refreshed musical direction. Joining the trio onstage is Ashin of Mayday, who serves as both special guest and music producer. Prior to the tour announcement, the artists collaborated on the single “Forever Forever,” alongside Jay Chou, signaling a new chapter that blends legacy with contemporary Mandopop influences.

Beyond Manila, the tour is set to visit several major cities including Chongqing, Jakarta, Bangkok, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur. The Jakarta leg, scheduled for late May 2026, has already offered a glimpse into possible ticket pricing tiers, hinting at what Filipino fans might expect once local details are finalized.

For now, the Manila stop remains one of the most anticipated announcements, not just for longtime followers but also for a new generation discovering F4’s legacy.
